The BZHY training is dedicated to creating competent and mindful yoga teachers. Our training emphasizes skills and knowledge directly applicable to teaching Vinyasa or "flow" yoga.
As a teacher training course, our first priority is to make sure that you receive the best possible training in preparation for teaching asana. Upon graduation, you will be prepared to:
teach a creative, thoughtfully designed vinyasa yoga class
describe the traditional lineage of vinyasa yoga
modify postures and sequences to make yoga accessible for all
create a safe and welcoming space for every practitioner
Sangha, Sanskrit for “community”, is an inspired collective of individuals that supports one another - both in our yoga endeavors and in our lives off the mat. Your teacher training sangha awaits!
The foundation of strong teaching is a strong personal practice. The lectures, the curriculum, and the practices are all created so that you can go deep into the experience of your yoga practice.
There is an ocean of knowledge available in this yoga teacher training, in the yoga universe, and in life! One of the best ways to stay humble, awake, and connected is to realize how much we do NOT know. We aspire to enliven a sense of continued inquiry to awaken your innate sense of curiosity and desire for life-long learning.
