Our graduates are prepared to work as yoga teachers, yoga professionals, and yoga therapists. Every level of our training is based in trauma-informed, brain-sensitive methodology and includes societal, systemic, and intergenerational perspectives to fully prepare our graduates to offer their services in a variety of settings including prisons, rehab centers, hospitals, schools, inpatient mental health facilities, and more.

Another of our successful programs is our yoga in prisons program where we teach adults in custody to become certified yoga teachers inside the facility in which they live. They complete our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training while living inside the facility and are then prepared to lead yoga classes for the general population residents as well as for the specialty housing units that include adults in custody who have traumatic brain injuries, mental illnesses, or developmental delays.
