Deepen Your Yoga Program
A Yoga Practitioner’s Training
300-hour Teacher Training
Begins September 21, 2022
Ask Yourself:
- Do you have burning questions from your yoga journey that you’d love to explore with an experienced guide?
- Is there a desire within you to slow down and immerse yourself in the process?
- Are you feeling dissatisfied with your Yoga practice, and feeling unsure how to fix it?
- Did your Yoga practice suffer when the pandemic hit and studios closed?
- Is your practice on the precipice of a breakthrough but you are unsure how to move forward?
- Do you find yourself craving experiences that not only enhance your own practice but also help you guide others deeper in their practice?
- Have you looked for a 300 Hour Training that allows you to advance professionally while also seeking something that focuses on you personally?
- Are you ready for real personal growth and transformation?
You are not alone!
The way the Yoga “industry” is set up emphasizes certifications that tend towards short and shallow studies. Many teachers complete them, then start to teach, only to discover how much they don’t know, or that they lack confidence in guiding others.
This begs the question: how do you proceed in your Yoga studies in a deep and meaningful way?
This is why we created the Deepen Your Yoga Program. This 15-month program for Yoga Practitioners is designed to help you develop a firm foundation for your personal practice, and to help you move toward your most authentic and balanced self through Yoga’s tools.
This is a program of substance and depth that will allow you to discover yourself, and make positive changes that will actually last. At least, that’s what our students have been saying for years.
