This program will enhance your knowledge and skills in order to build your confidence as a yoga instructor. Students will receive hands on teaching experience in a supportive environment allowing them to practice verbal and physical adjustments, skillful language, effective demonstrations and sequencing. This training will bring together all aspects of great teaching and will support you as you build confidence to express your authentic voice in the world of yoga.
