Our All Seasons Teacher Training Program blends traditional yogic teachings and spirituality with earth medicine to provide a holistic, synergistic and applicable approach to living this practice. This one year program is designed for souls with an interest in yoga, meditation and spirituality with a sincere interest in deepening that connection to live your life with intention and more fully aligned with your truth. We view and honor yoga as the nature around us, as a spiritual practice, and as a path to conscious connection, deepened awareness and mindful living. Over the course of four seasons, we will watch the leaves change and learn to practice and teach with integrity and heart by exploring different paths to connect including movement, chanting, Ayurveda, ritual and ceremony. On this journey, we embody yogic living, fully immersing ourselves in the experience of living and breathing this practice on and off our mat with our beloved community. This path asks for dedication, discipline and courage to look deep within to uncover our truth and our own authentic connection. Understanding the value of teaching yoga as a service and being of service to others through yoga, everyone is accepted, supported and encouraged through their process.
Without our daily distractions, habits and patterns, a new way of perceiving the world is revealed. There is no better time to dig into the inner workings of Self and the ancient tools of yoga that help us navigate the world with more peace and ease.
