200 HOURS OF:
Knowledge, Structure, and Teaching Practicum Support For Effectively Teaching Yoga
Teaching yoga is a call to service and connection.
My passion is to train and equip teachers fully to understand their role as teachers and the significant 'why' behind the decision to pursue teacher training. Once the 'why' is clear, then the tools learned in teacher training can be applied to support the work of service connecting others to the amazing life practice of yoga.
what you can expect from this training:
-
Comprehensive self-paced online training combined with 'live' virtual training hours of instruction, practice teaching, experiential application, and more!
-
100-page digital manual, a video library of resources, and a cohesive online course platform access
-

This training will equip you with the solid foundation needed to build a confident and credible teaching career as a leader serving your community.
From start to finish Sandy's YTT is organized and intentional. She incorporates readings, lectures, anatomy and lots of opportunities for students to practice in a supportive environment. The training fully prepares students to begin teaching with knowledge and confidence immediately after graduation.
