This program is physically and mentally challenging and will also be life changing. You will be practicing yoga several times each weekend as well as teaching each weekend. It will open you, it will lighten you, it will challenge you. Please be sure you are committed, have a steady physical yoga practice and that this program is a fit for you. We are here to answer any further questions and always open to feedback.

FAQs:

   No, but a steady commitment to practicing and learning yoga is paramount for this training. This is a physical training and you will be practicing several times each training weekend.
2. Do I want to be a yoga teacher in order to take the training?
   No, you will learn a lot more about yoga than just teaching it, but be prepared to teach every weekend of the training.
