200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

KNOW YOUR WHY.

Developed by Annakathryn, this comprehensive yoga training (aka '“myth busters”) will fully equip you to be an exceptional teacher of yoga. The mantra of our approach is “know what you’re doing and why”. Having you memorize a sequence or learn dogmatic posture alignment limits not only your understanding but also who you can teach. We’ll study traditional yoga postures through the lens of functional alignment, anatomy, kinesiology, bio-mechanics and somatic theory. This training will prepare you to lead with grace and confidence, and uncover your authentic voice and offering as a teacher of yoga. You’ll learn how to modify postures for the specific needs of your students and sequence classes for all different kinds of people. You will learn SO MUCH. About the human body, yoga philosophy and mostly, about yourself! It’s a deep and rewarding journey, we hope you’ll join!

TUITION COST $3500

TRAINING RUNS SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS 11AM-8PM EVERY OTHER WEEKEND JANUARY -JUNE.
