Yoga Teacher Training is a structured, evolutionary course that every single time we run it, we are in awe the growth, love and energy demonstrated by the participants.
Each Teacher Training cohort turns out to be a magical alchemy of humans who compliment each other and the place each one is on in their individual life path so beautifully.
If you feel drawn to Yoga Teacher Training, say yes as fast as possible. Every participant exclaims, “I wish I would have done this earlier”.
Before teacher training, there is a curiosity of diving deeper into oneself and the knowledge of yoga postures and philosophy. After teacher training, there is a newfound confidence in self and a deep connection that can only be found in heartfelt community.
Sessions meet live online or in-person on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 9:30pm, plus additional pre-recorded material and one additional yoga class per week and include yoga practice, meditation, and a deep dive into the wisdom teachings. All sessions will be recorded and made available.
Space is limited and will fill up fast, so submit your application now!
When you submit your application and we will contact you with the course syllabus and an onboarding call to answer all of your questions and discuss whether the training is a good fit for you!

frequently asked questions
Should I wait to do the training when I’m stronger and more consistent with doing yoga?
No! Teacher Training is about personal development and establishing consistent daily self-care. You will develop these skills in the training.
I don’t know how to do advanced postures, or even know if I’m doing yoga poses correctly.
In the training, you will learn to teach a beginners yoga class. In the 200 hour introductory training, we do not cover advanced yoga sequencing but rather teach you to understand the basics in your body so that you can teach a safe, accessible yoga class.
What if I don't really know if I want to teach?
That's fine! Most students take this course for their own benefit, a deeper understanding of themselves. If you choose to teach after that's completely up to you.
I'm not sure I can financially commit. Are there payment plans?
Yes! We never want finances to be a barrier in our classes or trainings. Please contact us to discuss how to make the training feasible for you with monthly payment plans to make this accessible to your financial comfort. Scholarships and work-study are also made available when possible.
What if I have a conflict with a specific date on the syllabus and need to miss a day?
Our training is recorded and posted to an online classroom so if you miss a day, you can make it up!
I’m really busy and unsure if this is the right time. How much time is required for homework and other outside activities?
In addition to our weekly Wednesday sessions, you will take one additional yoga class per week, and will need approximately 3-5 additional hours weekly to complete readings and homework. you will look forward to this time you’ve established for yourself inside of your busy schedule. you’ll finally find the time for you you’ve been longing for!
Will I be a certified yoga teacher when I graduate?
Yes. Upon completion of the training, you are eligible to register with The Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200 hour level (RYT200).
Is now the right time?

Stacy Rans
Stacy first discovered yoga in 1997 and, after about ten years of a practice that ebbed and flowed, developed a solid practice in 2008. She completed her initial 200hr Teacher Training with Rolf Gates in 2012 and her 300hr Sattva Vinyasa with Dani McGuire in 2018. Stacy has a heart for sharing yoga with ALL levels of students...and in 2016 began expanding that reach through her role as a "teacher of teachers" in Bodyworks 200hr Teacher Training program. While she will always have an appreciation for the strength and flexibility that her asana practice provides her with, she has more recently found a greater connection with the 8-limb path of yoga...and the impact of taking her yoga OFF of her mat...and she has begun to share that knowledge with others through private sessions as well as teaching yoga to the young men at the Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility."Let the beauty that you love, be what you do" ~ Rumi
