Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
Next Cohort Begins January 2027

Deepen your practice. Refine your voice. Learn to teach with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

This is a space to deepen your practice and discover how to guide others through movement, breath, and presence in a way that truly supports how people live and feel.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This advanced teacher training is a comprehensive, practice-based immersion designed to support experienced teachers in evolving their craft.  Rooted in both traditional yoga foundations and modern, trauma-informed understanding, this program goes beyond foundational teaching skills and into the nuance of how we teach, why we teach, and how to meet students in a way that is both skillful and responsive.

WHY THIS TRAINING

This training is shaped by real-world teaching experience across diverse populations, including caregivers, military personnel, trauma survivors, and individuals navigating significant life transitions.

The focus is not on performance or perfection but on presence, adaptability, and meaningful connection.

You will not be asked to fit into a rigid teaching model.  Instead, you will be supported in developing the discernment and skill to meet each student, each body, and each moment as it is.

Ready to Begin?

If you’re ready to deepen your practice and evolve the way you teach, I invite you to apply.

What My Students Say

Illuminate Yoga Training is not your ordinary teacher training. There was a lot of thought and creativity to bring the whole of yoga to us and open us up to the vast opportunities while training us to create and develop our own process to sequence and learn and study and find our way.
