​“Teaching yoga is an honor and a delight. And, it comes with responsibilities...
responsibilities that will cause your life to expand, that will catalyze your self-study,
​and stimulate a love for learning and growing in countless ways.”

Hybrid Yoga School In-Person and Online!

Schedule your personal Info Session with us for our Yoga Teacher Training programs.  Our hybrid model for Yoga Teacher Trainings allows for both in-person participation and online participation. In-person sessions are in Portland, OR while simultaneously, online students can zoom in from wherever they are. Every part of your training gets recorded for your ongoing access. You will practice teaching both in-person skills and online skills. While online yoga can not completely replace in-person yoga, being a part of an online learning community can be vibrant, nurturing, and amazing.  My teachers from India join us for training components (without flying overseas) for our 800hr IAYT Training We are partnering with Breitenbush Hot Springs for the 200hr amrita yoga teacher training. This is a 4-Module training and for Module 4 students have the option of attending their final module at Breitenbush Hot Springs. Your tuition will cover the training portion for all modules; however, students will be responsible for their own lodging costs.  Lodging is arranged with our training school and is offered with a payment plan option. Single and double occupancy lodgings are available.  You will want to have some yoga props for physical asana practice:  A mat, 2 blocks, 2 blankets, if possible a bolster or pillows, and a folding chair. Maybe even an eye pillow for the deeper savasana experience! (Or some ragdoll kittens to purr while weighting you down.)
