3 Bridges Yoga is pleased to announce we are currently hosting the EIGHTH cycle of the Illumina Yoga 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and we are SOLD OUT.

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction,
ends up being the biggest step of your life”

As yoga teachers we believe it is essential to remain open, humble, and committed to the path of deeper study. One of our highest values is just that~ the commitment to eternal studentship and continuing education.

Our passion and discipline for our own practices bring integrity and depth to our teachings. It is through our ability to share our full-spectrum experience of humanity with confidence, accessibility, and authenticity in the yoga room that we inspire our students and hold space for alchemic integration of the body, mind, and heart. If we or another yoga teacher has at one point inspired you to consider the teaching path, join us!

 FAQS

 

  • It sure is. This program is really for two main groups of yogis, those that want to learn more and deepen their own practice as well as those that want to teach. There is nothing you need to know to start this program, there are no poses that you need to have “mastered”, there are no books that you need to have read and there isn’t a particular time that you should have practiced before training. Come with an open mind, ready to learn, share, grow and open up a lifetime of possibilities.

  • Not at all! We know life gets busy. If you are ever not home for a weekend or not feeling well, we can Zoom all sessions. We will give you guidelines when to finish your work, but you can finish whenever feels best to you. We want you to get the most out of this program, so you will receive your certificate when you are done. All work does not have to be passed in by graduation weekend.

  • After completion of student enrollment no refunds shall be provided under any circumstance per the signed statement of intent. Credit towards a future Teacher Training Program may be available.

  • 3 Bridges Yoga does not offer or accept transfer of credit from programs or courses from other schools, institutes or training providers.

  • "The 200 hour yoga teacher training at 3BY enriched my life in so many ways. I have joint issues and prior to the training, I was pushing through the pain during classes; I knew I shouldn’t but I didn’t want to give up this practice that I loved. Learning the history of yoga, about the deities behind each pose, diving deeper into the other 7 limbs of yoga was life changing for me. I learned more about myself than I could have imagined. Having structured time to study, practice and take in the energetics of asana / poses, pranayama / breath work and ethical practices was a gift. I learned how to properly care for my physical body during classes. I continue to learn more about myself every day through yoga and highly recommend this venture for anyone who is looking to nourish their body and soul."
