Yoga Teaching
Apprenticeship Program
What is the Teaching Apprenticeship Program?
This apprenticeship program is offered once a year and aims to guarantee that you have mastered the skills and mindset necessary to teach yoga with confidence, lead your students with clarity, and show up in an authentic representation of the yogic tradition.
Apprenticeships are a combination of classroom training, reading of yogic texts, group-led explorations in teaching and critique, hands-on asana assisting, critical thinking, and the development of intellectual skills through animated discussion.
Watch what Zoe Greiff, a former apprentice, says about the program.

About the Teachers
Jordan Lashley
Jordan Lashley
At the age of 25, Jordan stepped into his first yoga class, and life was never the same again. In his book, There Is No Me; he shares the compelling story of his development as a yoga practitioner, teacher, and man driven by the deeper questions of life.
Monique Allen
Monique Allen
Monique was introduced to yoga in the mid-1970s by her mother when she began practicing to navigate the challenges of single parenting. Knowing her children were suffering from familial trauma; she intuited that they, too, would benefit from simple meditation and movement practices. For Monique, this began a lifetime of dabbling in the practice of yoga.
What Makes Our Program Different?
Typical yoga teacher training programs that are 200-500 hours include a revenue model that focuses on producing a large number of teachers but often fails to bring out the heart and soul potential of the teacher within.
The ancient practice of yoga took years to unfold through study and apprenticeship to a guru. A random bucket of hours seems a little thin in the face of the richness yoga practice has to offer us as teachers and students. Join a yogic community led by heartful and well-studied teachers.
