Overview
We are happy to offer a 200 hour yoga teacher training program. Our program is a great way to develop the skills to teach yoga or to take your personal practice to a deeper level. Our program meets Yoga Alliance requirements for 200 hour teacher training programs and covers anatomy, asana, alignment, pranayama, philosophy, and sequencing. You will also assist and observe experienced teachers and learn how to look at, assess, and adjust students safely in asana poses.
Studying yoga at a deep and personal level requires a supportive community for what will be an intimate and highly transformative experience. In our program you will study alongside others students where you’ll share your experiences and findings in an open and like-minded community (satsang). You will also develop the knowledge and skills to develop your own personal practice (sadhana) that will serve you your entire life.
Our teacher training program is led by Sarah Trelease. Sarah has been teaching yoga for 11 years, and was the Director of Teacher Training at OM yoga in New York City where she facilitated and taught retreats, workshops and teacher trainings. Sarah’s teaching is informed through her studies with prominent teachers including Cyndi Lee, Judith Lasater, Leslie Kaminoff, and Amy Matthews.
