Requirements

Our program is geared toward yoga practicioners who have developed a strong personal practice and are feeling drawn to share yoga with others.  Not everybody who takes our training plans on being a yoga teacher, but to be prepared for our program we require the following:

  • Must have previous yoga experience.  If you are unsure if you are ready for this type of training, please contact us to talk.
  • You MUST have some experience with our teachers. We want to make sure you know what it is we teach before applying for our program.
  • A positive willingness to learn, explore your practice & your Self.
  • You must be able to fully commit to the program--both to the schedule & the intensity of this opportunity.
  • A willingness to leave your ego at the door and be fully present for your experience.
  • Please come in the best physical & mental condition you are able.  Eat well, drink plenty, rest lots. Take good care of yourself in the months leading up to the training, and throughout!
  • Must be willing and able to hold a space of compassion for yourself and your fellow classmates throughout this process.
  • To prepare for the program, you should be practicing regularly at home and with your teacher(s).

Time Committment

  • Full participation in the program is required in order to graduation. This includes all classroom hours, required studio practice, home projects, and practice teaching.
  • We'll be meeting a minimum of 20 hours per month, including at least 1 intense weekend of workshops and 1 evening workshop.
  • One additional studio class per week is also required.
  • You will be expected to complete reading and homework assignments to prepare for the following weekend intensive. This could be as much as several hours per week.  Completion & positive participation are a requirement for graduation.
  • You should budget in a minimum of 5 hours a week of personal practice & study time to dedicate to your learning experience during the course of this program.
  • Because of the intense nature of our program, and the team-building we do throughout the program, if you feel unable to commit to the time requirements of our program, we ask that you apply at a later date when it is more possible.
  • On that note, we understand that life happens! If you have a pre-planned event or other situation and need to miss an evening or a day of training, let us know and we can work with you.
Open Mindedness
  • Whenever we step into a new experience, it is common to realize it is different than we expected. This program will offer you opportunities and topics that you may not have anticipated. We ask that you enter our program with an open heart, an open mind, and a willingness to learn.
  • There will be philosophies & practices taught that may or may not be your cup of tea. It is our job to offer a well-rounded curriculum. In that process, if anything arises that you are uncomfortable with, we ask that you let it have time to assimilate without judgement.
  • Please communicate any questions or concerns to our Program Director before applying for our program. We are always happy to answer questions. We want to make sure you are making the best decision possible before committing to such a dynamic & life-changing experience.
