200 & 300 Hour Teacher Training 2026-2027
I am motivated by my own inner journey and the daily use of yoga tools to keep me present, grounded, open and in action. I am motivated by the transformations I get to witness daily on the mat and off. I am motivated by the deep ache I see in the hearts and minds of humanity and the knowledge that I carry a balm, the self awareness tools of yoga. I am motivated by an inner drive to bring yoga off the mat and into the world. Join me in your teacher training journey.
