The Nook Yoga Teacher Training will give you essential knowledge and skills to begin your teaching journey confidently. Through theoretical and practical understanding of postures, philosophy, meditation, anatomy, physiology, as well as self-regulation and communication skills, you will be inspired to lead meaningful yoga classes. In addition to the primary areas of study there will be hands-on experience; learning to read bodies and support individuals in a group setting through language and touch. This program is designed for serious students who have a minimum of two years of personal practice experience. If you are ready to be taken out of your comfort zone and initiate the process of becoming a great teacher, this program will help you to understand and foster your unique offering.

details

The training schedule is designed so students can continue to work full or part-time while enrolled in the program. The curriculum will be held over weekends and there will be opportunity to meet individually for 1-1 mentoring sessions. We provide space between weekend intensives to allow time to practice and integrate content, while balancing other commitments. This training will be maxed out at 18 students so that each student will have a fair amount of teaching practicum and feedback. We believe that the process of learning takes time and this method of training allows absorption of the material, practical application of information and genuine connections within the group to form over the course of 6 months.

In addition to having two years of personal practice experience, we ask that anyone enrolling in the program is familiar with and comfortable with the essential postures of the Classic sequence as taught at Nook Yoga. This training also covers the foundations of teaching a Calm practice with an emphasis on meditation. It will be useful to be able to handle a disciplined yoga training and have fundamental practical experience with yoga 

postures. We recommend those in training regularly attend classes over the course of the program to experience what they are learning as it is put into practice.

previous experiences

  • This training went above and beyond to help me feel prepared to teach! The posture clinics, the practice teaching..,amazing!

  • "Anna weaves humor throughout and provides break time for collaboration and movement. The content is what I would imagine - comprehensive with more than enough content to be able to confidently lead a yoga practice."

  • "I can’t actually believe that I am teaching yoga! The opportunities to practice teach and receive feedback have been invaluable"

  • "Anna takes her time to think and pause before moving through her content. She leads the students to ask the questions without giving the answers. She asks the right questions to get students to think about the content and really acknowledge their understanding of it.
