This is the yoga teacher training

that your favorite yoga teacher took.

Arranged into 10 modules, running Thursday through Sunday, one long weekend per month, our 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training can be taken as a 300-hour certifying track, which includes a thesis-style research and writing project, and the creation of a signature stand-alone workshop, created from your thesis research and taught with a peer and teacher feedback component.

If you’d prefer to dip into certain weekend subjects, you’re welcome to drop in for a weekend and receive CE credits.

The Modules

All sessions meet Thursday 7-9:30, Friday 5:45-9:30, Saturday 9-6, and Sunday 9-6

ROOTS | Sep 19-22

The ROOTS module is designed to establish a connection to the foundations of the practice and transmission of yoga. We’ll dive into:

  • Creation and maintenance of a home/self practice

  • The philosophy of the Yoga Sutras, and the history of yoga

  • The Namaskars

  • Sequencing via the concepts of Vinyasa Krama and Prakritiasana

WISDOM | Oct 10-13

WISDOM explores the concepts of “advanced practice,” and invites a deeper dive into both the philosophy and practice of yoga. We’ll explore:

  • The Bhagavad Gita and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

  • How to sequence, practice and teach Advanced Asana (even if those poses aren’t a part of your practice)

  • The history and practice of Tantric yoga and its associated kriyas

CURIOSITY | Nov 14-17

CURIOSITY is an immersion in anatomy, alignment, strength, and mobility practices, to help illuminate a holistic picture of ourselves and our students. We’ll explore:

  • Practical understanding of anatomy through isolation, activation, strength, and integration practices

  • Creative sequencing through strength and mobility

  • Client and self alignment assessments

  • Creating a “longevity” practice

CREATIVITY | Dec 12-15

CREATIVITY is an exploration of the art of sequencing! But we’ll actually focus toward and beyond the goal of a just a “creative” sequence, to explore how to sequence in a way that feels more than creative, but useful, grounding, and affirming for our students. We’ll also look at the history of sequencing according to the main lineages of the modern yoga tradition, and explore the how and why of those maps - illuminating not just an understanding of the alchemy of class creation, but grounding it in a firm understanding of the roots of the yoga tradition.

CONNECTION | Jan 9-12, 2025

CONNECTION is all about hands-on assists: the art of nourishing, affirming, grounding, space-making, and connecting. Along with learning assists, we’ll touch on best practices for consent, feedback, and differences between assisting styles. We’ll channel these skills into guiding one-on-one sessions, and offering hands on assists apprentice-style with Anna in her public classes.

INTUITION| Feb 20-23, 2025

INTUITION follows the intuitive maps brought to us by the Tantric yogis. Our main focus is the chakra system and its associated kriyas, but we’ll discover marma points, nadis, vayus, and even myofascial meridians as we explore.

HEART | Mar 13-16, 2025

Devotional chanting, pranayama, and the anatomy of the breath all combine to form this module that helps you to discover not just your chanting voice, but to discover your innate teacher’s voice, and how the breathing and its associated anatomy support and allow for your voice’s growth and resonance (literally and metaphorically!).

SPACE | Apr 10-13, 2025

This not-to-be missed weekend is a meditation immersion with our own studio meditation anchor, Larry Birkett. Illuminating, deep, nourishing and joyful!

EVOLUTION | May 15-18, 2025

As yoga evolves, we can expland our toolboxes! Learn evolved and variant practice styles such as Restorative, Yin, Kalaripayattu, and even a little Animal Flow.

INTEGRATION | Jun 12-15, 2025

This certifying-track unit is not available for drop-in.
