Level 2 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
Become a Confident, Heart-Centered Yoga Teacher
This training offers more than certification. It’s a six-month journey designed to deepen your personal practice, strengthen your voice, and prepare you to lead with clarity and care.
You’ll build a strong foundation in yoga philosophy, asana, breathwork, meditation, and anatomy while exploring complementary practices like Thai Yoga Bodywork, Reiki, Sound Healing, Ayurveda, and Qigong. Each session invites you to learn, apply, and embody the teachings so that what you gain in training carries into how you live and how you teach.
