September 1-30, 2024 plus 4 workshops in October

Our values are inclusion, fairness, compassion, discipline, equality, mutual respect, love and peace. In this comprehensive OHYA accredited Teacher Training, we will train you to teach the original hot yoga sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. It will be completed mostly in person and partly online with some guest lecturers from around the yoga world. Currently, we are planning for one intensive month, followed by 4 follow-up weekends with part-time posture clinics. 

​

The goal of the teacher training is to set you on a lifelong path of self-discovery and allow you to teach the best yoga class you can. You will develop your knowledge of the postures, yoga philosophy, ethics and more. You will discover many things about yourself in the process. This is meant to be a rigorous training, not a yoga retreat, so please do keep that in mind. There is a transformational shift that happens to people during an intensive teacher training. As such, we will not be accepting part-time participants.

​

We are pleased to invite a number of lecturers from around the yoga world to lecture on the following units:

- Teaching the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises of the original hot yoga sequence 
- Posture clinics to develop confidence, voice and effective delivery 
- Anatomy and Physiology 
- Yoga and the Heart and Lungs

- Yoga history and philosophy

- History of the Ghosh Lineage of Yoga
- Energetic anatomy and chakras
- Trauma-Informed Teaching
- Racial equity/unconscious bias training 
- Gender inclusivity training 

- Yoga and Thermoregulation

- Current Scientific Reseach on Hot Yoga

- Teaching a virtual yoga class
- CPR/AED training 
- Other lectures are to be confirmed

- Lots of laughter guaranteed! 

​

The week's schedule for the intensive will look something like this:

Monday-Friday: 2 yoga classes plus 2-3 additional hours of yoga practice based posture clinics. There will be an additional 2-4 hours of teaching clinics and lecture.

Saturdays: 1 yoga class plus 3-4 hours of teaching posture clinic

​

The follow-up weekends will include units on corrections for injuries, pregnancy, limited range of motion and more.

​

The cost of the training is $4224 and will include an OHYA  teacher directory listing, a CPR/AED certification and 40+ hours of continued mentorship with Cat over at least 6 months. Your spot will be secured after paying a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. EARLY BIRD PRICING IS $3630 paid in full by 3/31/24.

​

Once the deposit is received, Cat will be in touch with some teaching materials for you to start studying immediately before the intensive. At the beginning of Week 3, we will do a brief mid-term assessment to make sure you are on track to fulfilling your basic requirements for certification and will offer suggestions and support where needed.

​

While we will try our best to help you out, we cannot guarantee that teacher trainees will have teaching positions at our yoga school.
