THE DETAILs

In this 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certified training, we will study and explore the ancient practice of Yoga and it’s philosophy. Over the course of our 6 month Fall Session or 9 week Summer intensive, we will examine course materials and curated additional resources to gain a clear understanding of yoga history and the real-world application of key philosophical texts.

Through a combination of in person intensive weekends, virtual lectures, practice teaching and group discussion, it is our goal to provide each student with a comprehensive and rewarding experience that will equip them to safely and confidently lead any population with compassion and care. In this 200 Hour Yoga Teacher training you will:

  • Learn a teaching methodology that is simple, accessible, and universal to all yoga styles,

  • Gain a firm understanding of anatomy and its practical application to poses.

  • Learn to sequence and structure classes effectively.

  • Practice and teach fundamental meditation and pranayama techniques.

  • Explore key philosophical texts (The Yoga Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita and more)

The Investment

Community building and access to wellness for ALL is at the forefront of our mission. We believe that no one should be turned away for lack of funds and that financial status should not be the determining factor for pursuing your practice. Since our founding in 2016, we have been happy to provide reduced rates to our community without financial documentation and no questions asked! Our existence as a Black Owned boutique fitness studio is a bold step toward correcting the whitewashed and exclusionary atmosphere that has traditionally plagued the industry. In an effort to reinforce our commitment to diversity and inclusion in wellness spaces, we have adapted our sliding scale pricing to our Teacher Training Programs.

Our prices are set to reflect the cost of operating our studios and paying our team members fair and competitive wages. Please be mindful that if you choose to purchase this training at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the market rate cost, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility and marginalized communities who have historically been excluded from opportunities such as this. By honestly choosing the price point that is appropriate for you, you are helping to support a local, Black owned/female owned business and ensuring that we can continue to provide health and wellness services to everyone.

$500 Deposit Required for enrollment. Payment plans available.
