Yoga for Every Body.
This course is designed for all body types and abilities, teaching you how to confidently guide a diverse range of students through safe, mindful yoga practices. Led exclusively by Heather and Lezanne - experienced and passionate teachers who have been running Yoga Teacher Trainings together for over a decade - this training is a deep dive into the art and science of teaching yoga.
The program is structured over several immersive learning periods:
During the first weekend in November, you'll meet your lead teachers, begin exploring the philosophy of yoga, and dive into alignment, asana, and the 8-limbed path. This weekend serves as a grounding introduction to the course and your fellow students.
The New Year retreat (Dec 28 – Jan 3) is a unique, intensive experience combining both teachers' strengths. Lezanne will guide the first four days, focusing on asana, alignment, and philosophy. Heather will join for the final three days to cover pranayama, breathwork, restorative yoga, Sanskrit, mantra, and more. Days include full asana practices, meditation, theory, and group work - all in a tranquil, supportive environment.
The following sessions continue throughout the spring:
