Our 200hr yoga teacher training programs will continue to be online AND we are adding a residential option for the 4th Module.

Please see the updated outline below for the Satellite Hybrid Model.
After 22 years of owning a physical yoga studio in Portland, Oregon, we closed the storefront, brick and mortar operations during the pandemic.  We transitioned successfully to 100% online trainings for 2020 - 2022.

​We now have a new hybrid model. We are partnering with Breitenbush Hot Springs and Yoga on Yamhill for residential learning options.

As a yoga school, we are always ready and willing to improvise and update our training models in alignment with the changing times.

The power of online synchronous yoga teacher training:

• You can do the training from anywhere. 
• We’re in real time together, learning, growing, practicing.
• All aspects of the training are recorded for your continued review and practice.​
• ​Our schedule provides breaks for you to be with your family, go outdoors, to tend to your garden, or to nourish yourself with food and rest.​

The drawbacks for online yoga teacher trainings (even when  they’re synchronous):

• It’s challenging to get your camera set properly so the teacher can see your practice.
• The teacher can’t adequately provide verbal feedback to all of the students expediently.
• No hands on recommendations can be provided.
• The teacher can’t see you teaching to a group of students in one room (while they can see you practice teaching within your breakout room, it’s not a thorough substitute for seeing you interact with your students in real time).
• Learning visual observation with verbal feedback for your students is limited to the tiny squares of a zoom room. You can’t walk around the classroom for different views. And it depends on where your students’ cameras are.
• You can’t recommend a prop that your students don’t have at home.

​
Satellite Hybrid Format

• Sarahjoy and her assistants will staff the online zoom room to support the students' visual and physical learning about yoga asana and body mechanics. ​
• We will practice observation skills, verbal and physical support skills, use of yoga props, and adapting practices to people’s various physical needs.
• ​Our training school assistants will be chaperoning the zoom breakout rooms online to give guidance for training students individually.
• The 4th Module of the 200hr trainings will be in partnership with Breitenbush Hot Springs (lodging costs not included in your training) or with Yoga on Yamhill (in Portland, OR).
