.:: 200-hour yoga teacher training ::.

this training was created from a simple belief: yoga teacher training should transform the way you experience yoga. many of you know me through the classes i teach each week. while that continues to be at the heart of my work, over the years i've felt my path as a teacher unfolding in new ways. i've found myself asking not only how i can guide a meaningful class, but how i can create spaces where the teachings of yoga can be explored more deeply, where students have the time to study, practice, reflect, ask questions, and truly embody what yoga has to offer. that evolution led to the creation of floating leaf yoga. floating leaf yoga is a yoga alliance registered yoga school (RYS 200), offering immersive teacher trainings rooted in practice, education, mentorship, and a deeper exploration of yoga.

"practice becomes firmly grounded when cultivated for a long time, without interruption, and with devotion."

i wanted to create a training that encourages students to return to the teachings again and again, honoring the spirit of abhyāsa, the steady, devoted practice through which wisdom unfolds. whether your intention is to become a yoga teacher or to deepen your personal practice, this program offers a thoughtfully designed education rooted in the traditions of yoga while preparing you to teach with confidence, authenticity, and compassion. over the course of eight months, you'll engage in an immersive exploration of yoga through dedicated practice, thoughtful inquiry, meaningful discussion, and experiential learning, creating space for the teachings to be lived, embodied, and integrated into your daily life.

designed with intention
this training is intentionally structured to honor the rhythm of integration. meeting every other saturday allows time for the teachings to settle, personal practice to evolve, and new understanding to emerge between each session. rather than moving quickly through information, you'll have the opportunity to return to what you've learned with fresh perspective, cultivating both confidence and depth over time. all training sessions are held live remotely via zoom, creating an interactive learning environment where discussion, observation, movement, and practice teaching happen together in real time. students are asked to remain on camera throughout each training day, cultivating presence, meaningful connection, and a supportive learning community while making the program accessible to students wherever they call home.

the immersion retreat
after months of learning, practicing, and growing together remotely, we gather in vermont for our closing immersion retreat. these final days are an opportunity to bring our community together in person to deepen our connections, celebrate our journey, and explore the experiences that are best shared face-to-face. together, we'll dive into advanced hands-on assists, prop workshops, sound healing, and each student's final teaching practicum. students who choose the completely remote pathway will join the immersion retreat live via zoom and complete all graduation requirements remotely. while both pathways lead to certification, i highly encourage students to attend the in-person retreat whenever possible. gathering together at the conclusion of our training creates a meaningful opportunity to learn alongside one another, celebrate our growth, and honor the community we've cultivated throughout the program.

yoga should be accessible.
yoga has always evolved by being shared. i believe high-quality yoga education should be accessible to dedicated students regardless of where they live or what path has brought them to yoga. offering the majority of this training in a live remote format allows students from different places to learn together while making high-quality yoga education more accessible. by reducing the barriers of travel, time, and cost, more students are able to participate in a thoughtfully designed program rooted in the traditions of yoga, meaningful mentorship, and genuine community. accessibility also means honoring the uniqueness of every body, every background, and every lived experience. throughout the training, we'll explore adaptable teaching methods, functional anatomy, trauma-informed practices, and inclusive approaches that empower you to confidently support a wide range of students.

what you'll study
throughout the training, we'll explore:
 

• cultivating a sustainable personal practice & sadhana
• yoga philosophy, the yoga sutras, the bhagavad gita & sanskrit
• asana, alignment, intelligent sequencing & mythology
• pranayama, meditation, mudra, bandha & shatkriyas
