Have you...

• Been hearing the whisper to teach and learn more about yoga, but when you see pictures, you look nothing like the insta-teachers?
• Been researching yoga teacher training programs, but haven't been able to commit because of scheduling conflicts or work and family obligations?
• Finally gotten serious about committing to yoga teacher training, but COVID-19 has everything sideways?

Now Imagine. . .

• When social distancing is eliminated, you're already certified to teach and can lead yoga classes with confidence.
• You gained skills to not only help others, but to also help yourself through challenging times.
• You found a group of supportive individuals who share your passion for all things yoga, and enjoy life-long connections.

how does it work for 200-hour ytt?

• Our comprehensive training provides a strong foundation for teaching yoga (and deepening your own practice) through detailed videos, readings, workbooks, handouts, and lectures.
• Lecture sessions have been recorded and follow the in-person format I've used for the last 18 years. The video lessons are available on the online learning platform Teachable.
  
• Each month attend the three live Zoom sessions for lectures, Q&A, and practice teaching to maximize engagement, interaction, community, and accountability.
• You'll receive on-going support and mentorship throughout the training just as if you were attending in-person.
• Online participants receive lifetime access to the Purple Lotus Yoga 200-hour teacher training course hosted on Teachable.
