A yoga teacher training is by nature a transformational experience - it meets you where you're at and takes you where you need to go. If you’re feeling stuck or need change in any area of your life, this training is an opportunity to develop self-awareness, intuition and use the tools of yoga, the support of your peer group and guidance of the trainers to help you proceed through your challenge.

Absolutely! Yoga is not a religious practice but can be defined as a spiritual practice which unites the body, mind and spirit. It is an ancient philosophy and physical practice that does not interfere
with any religious beliefs and we welcome questions if contradictions or belief conflicts arise. Whatever your belief system is, this training will help you to deepen your experience of spirituality. Due to the fact that this style of yoga evolved from China, you will learn about its origins, history and practices from that context so as to keep the teachings of yoga as pure, intact and effective in its original form.
