Benefits to you...

• More than Teaching ~ This training Program begins with an immersion into yoga’s philosophy, method, and practice, where you will deepen, advance, and refine your understanding and practice of yoga. As you head into the second half, you will learn how to speak from the perspective of “looking for the good”, becoming your own teacher first.

• Hands-On Approach ~ Learn how to safely and effectively share the gift of yoga with others, and how to guide students in connecting to the beauty of their hearts. You will practice teaching your peers in small groups. Practicing teaching is key to becoming an effective and compassionate teacher.

• Unlimited Membership (free) ~ Through regular practice you will more easily integrate the teachings and develop your understanding of yoga. And, with regular and consistent practice you will become strong physically and mentally!

• 7-Month Training Program ~ The 200-hour Teacher Training Program at Bhava spans a 7-month period to allow ample time for you to integrate the teachings so that the training is not separate from your life, but very much a part of it. We find students retain more and grow more confident as teachers and practitioners with this approach.

• Experienced & Knowledgeable Teachers ~ You will learn from some of Albuquerque’s most successful and beloved teachers with over 100 years of combined teaching experience.

• Anyone Can Attend ~ The program is appropriate for any interested yoga student looking to deepen their experience and understanding of yoga, even if not interested in teaching yoga.

• Discover your Yoga Family ~ When you step into a yoga training program, you are not only serving yourself, but you are also supporting those around you. Together with your fellow students, you will develop lifelong friendships who help shape your experience as a yogi and human.

Not sure this training is right for you? We want you to be sure.

Q: I’ve already been teaching Yin Yoga – will I learn anything in this training?

A: Gosh, I hope so. I learn something every time I take a training. If you’re already well-versed in Yin Yoga, I invite you to my Level 2 training. It’s actually designed to add depth to those who are already teaching Yin (and answer a few questions you may never have thought of).

​

Q: Am I going to learn more from your training(s) than from the book? It doesn’t seem that complicated.

A: You’re very right – Yin yoga isn’t that complicated. But you will learn new approaches to anatomy, from both the Eastern and Western perspectives, strategic ways to use props, and what a correctly instructed Yin practice actually feels like in your body.

​

Q: I’m already a trained Restorative Yoga teacher. Isn’t Yin pretty much the same?

A: It might look similar on the outside, but I believe that Yin and Restorative are fundamentally different, based on the intention of the practice. I have several experienced Restorative teachers who have taken my Yin training who agree – it’s a completely different ball game!
