This training is not just about advancing as a yoga teacher; it's about becoming a more authentic, embodied, and compassionate human being ready to serve the world.
Program Overview
Just like our 230hr YTT at Yoga Sanctuary, we will focus on teaching and experiencing holistic yoga. This means breath-centered yoga that helps regulate the nervous system and manage the energetic body; and includes teaching through a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safe alignment and functional movement, and drawing from the ancient spiritual yogic philosophies so that our practice is about coming home to the whole self.

Why Choose Our Advanced 320-Hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training?
We believe that impactful teaching stems from deep self-understanding and a fertile ground of personal experience. Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to guide you through a holistic exploration of mind, body, and spirit.
Embodiment and Functional Movement: Reconnect with your innate wisdom through a profound exploration of functional anatomy and intelligent sequencing. You'll gain a deep understanding of how to move in and cue the body with precision and intention, fostering greater awareness, mobility, stability, strength, and freedom for yourself and your students.
Trauma-Informed Approach: Learn to create safe, inclusive, and healing spaces for all students. Our training provides you with the knowledge and sensitivity to understand the impact of trauma on the body and mind, enabling you to teach with compassion and awareness.
Deep Self-Exploration: This training is an invitation to journey into your deepest self. Through introspective practices, contemplative exercises, and powerful self-inquiry, you'll uncover your authentic voice and cultivate the inner resources to share your unique gifts with the world.
Community and Connection: Experience the power of being in and creating conscious community. You'll forge meaningful connections with fellow HYTT students, creating a supportive network that will uplift and inspire you long after the training concludes.
Social Justice and Equity: We believe that the practice of yoga inherently calls us to work towards a more just and equitable world. We are looking for applicants who are willing to explore and are committed to social justice through the lens of yoga. This includes a willingness to explore how power, privilege, and systemic oppression impact individuals and communities, both within and beyond the yoga world, and how yoga can be a tool for liberation and positive social change.
Sharing Yoga with the Broader Community: While this training is deeply personal, it also prepares you to share the transformative power of yoga with others. We are looking for individuals who feel called to contribute to the well-being of their communities through the wisdom of yoga.
Share Your Best with the World: Our ultimate goal is to empower you to become a confident, compassionate, and effective holistic yoga teacher. You'll graduate with not only advanced teaching skills but also a profound sense of purpose and ready to share your light with the world and make a real difference in your family, communities, and the world in your own unique way.
