100 HR Teacher Training Intensive

June 7-16, 2024

Teacher Training

This event is designed not only for aspiring yoga teachers but also for individuals seeking to deepen their personal practice, refine their physical abilities, and gain a thorough understanding of the Therapeutic Yoga Method.

For those aspiring to teach, our intensive curriculum offers comprehensive training to equip you with essential skills for leading Therapeutic Yoga classes. You'll learn effective communication techniques, cultivate confidence, and discover your authentic voice to share the transformative power of Therapeutic Yoga with others.

Participants will receive a comprehensive Therapeutic Yoga training manual. Our daily sessions create an opportunity for healing and clarity while you explore new dimensions of your practice.

We believe that every yoga student should have the opportunity to take a teacher training at least once, even if they don’t have the desire to teach, and here’s a few reasons why:

  • Deepen your connection to your true self.

  • Transform your mind and heal your body.

  • Increase your awareness.

  • Gain insights and clarity of your life and its purpose, no matter how old you are.

  • Detox from the effects of a modern lifestyle and upgrade your energy.

As you embark on this teacher training experience, know that this is not just about learning poses and sequences—but it's also about awakening to your purest potential and life’s infinite possibilities.

Remember, your life is capable of changing in ways you never thought possible.

YOU are capable of changing in ways you never thought possible.

15 years ago, I had only been practicing yoga for a couple months when my local studio owner announced she was hosting a teacher training.

At the time, the idea of teaching yoga never crossed my mind, but I felt extremely called to participate. I didn’t know why, but I knew it was the next step I had to take.

Despite my doubts and insecurities, I gathered the courage, took a leap of faith, and enrolled in the training.

Little did I know, that one decision would alter the course of my life in ways I could never have imagined. Not only did I deepen my understanding of yoga on an experiential level, but I found my purpose and my passion.

I discovered the power within me to heal, to transform, and to share the gift of yoga with others. When we heal ourselves it’s only natural we would want to extend that healing to all those around us.

Fast forward to today, I'm blessed with the chance to pay it forward, by sharing the power of the Therapeutic Yoga Method with hundreds of people both in studio and online.

I have to pinch myself that I own a yoga studio in Sedona and I’m hosting this teacher training. It’s truly a gift to be able to share this practice in such a good way.

We never know how one aligned decision can completely change and transform our life for the better.

If you feel the call, I hope you’ll join me for this incredible program.

Whether you want to become a yoga teacher or whether you’re ready to dive deep into your personal practice, this is going to be a healing, transformative, and life-changing experience for all who attend.
