Our Teacher Training Philosophy

The foundation of our training program is Classical Yoga philosophy, which is rooted in the teachings found in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. In the Sutras, Patanjali outlines the eight limbs of yoga, the eightfold path of spiritual growth and self-discovery.

These limbs are ethical guidelines on how to live a vibrant, meaningful life. Asana (yoga postures) is the most well-known of the limbs but it’s only a part of the story, for this path offers so much more. Each of the eight limbs addresses a different aspect of our multifaceted being, and together they act as a road map to living a yogic lifestyle.

"I learned to incorporate a beautiful daily practice into my life and truly understand what it means to live a yogic lifestyle ON and OFF the mat.

Yoga is so much more than a physical practice and I was able to explore this during YTT. This experience has shown me a path to aligning with my true Self. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had thus far.”
