AWAKEN THE TEACHER WITHIN
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
- Carl Jung
In this five month training you will profoundly deepen your yoga practice, and your fundamental understanding of modern yoga. Through the study of asana, pranayama, meditation, anatomical alignment and yogic philosophy, teacher trainees will gain a thorough comprehension of the foundational components of teaching yoga. Trainees will discover a more empowered and authentic self-expression, practical leadership skills, and personal growth. You will leave better able to positively impact your community, and better equipped to live as an example for others, both on and off the mat.
Whether you are a current student seeking to become a teacher, a current yoga teacher looking to discover new and effective ways of teaching, or an inquisitive student ready to dive deeper into your personal practice, you will find a meaningful and transformative experience in this program.

"I had the pleasure of completing 200hrs of life changing YTT with Lindsay. To say that she has impacted my life is an understatement. Lindsay was an integral part of unlocking my truth and shifting my life in a way I could have never imagined. She is a balance of strength and grace that everyone is inspired by and want to be around. I will take any of her classes, workshops or trainings so that I can learn more from her. Lindsay is on FIRE and trust me, you don't want to miss the spark she will ignite in you."

Create community
"Since 2011, after meeting Lindsay, we have assisted and observed as she co-led teacher trainings, practiced many of her classes, participated in her webinar series, and really got to know her as a mentor and teacher. When she teaches it is grounded, powerful and light. She teaches the philosophy and tradition of yoga so it's applicable to everyday life, and makes it fun! The teacher trainings she co-led at Shakti has helped to develop confident and inspired teachers who understand community and how to be a stand for others. Lindsay continues to inspire us as studio owners and powerful teachers."
