Program Highlights
Step into a transformative journey that blends the art of Vinyasa yoga with the depth of personal awakening. The Awakened Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training is a heart-centered, immersive program designed for seekers who feel called to deepen their practice, elevate their understanding, and step confidently into the role of an inspired, grounded, and authentic yoga teacher.
This program is crafted to support you not only as a student, but as a whole human—mind, body, and spirit—ready to grow and evolve. Each step of the journey is guided with intention, compassion, and a deep respect for your
unique path.
Whether you dream of leading powerful classes, enriching your personal practice, or simply exploring the deeper layers of yoga, this training invites you into a supportive, soulful, and growth-oriented community. You’ll be surrounded by fellow seekers who share your curiosity and commitment, creating an environment where meaningful connection and transformation naturally unfold.
What You’ll Explore
• Awakened Vinyasa Methodology
Learn intelligent sequencing, creative transitions, and the energetic principles that make Vinyasa both artful and accessible. You’ll gain the tools to design classes that feel purposeful, fluid, and energetically
balanced.
• Embodied Anatomy & Alignment
Understand the body from a functional, intuitive, and movement-based perspective—so you can teach with confidence and clarity. These teachings empower you to see bodies as dynamic and unique, rather than fitting into a one-size-fits-all model.
• Pranayama, Meditation & Subtle Energy
Experience the impact of breath work, mindfulness, and energetic awareness on your practice and your life. These practices help cultivate inner steadiness, emotional regulation, and an expanded sense of presence.
• Philosophy & Inner Work
Dive into yoga’s wisdom and traditions with practical, modern insight that helps you cultivate presence, compassion, and purpose. Through thoughtful discussion and guided reflection, you’ll explore how these teachings can support you both on and off the mat.
• Teaching Techniques & Leadership Skills
Discover your authentic voice, learn hands-on assists, cue with intention, and hold space with integrity. You’ll practice teaching regularly so you can build confidence, embody your learning, and step forward as a grounded leader.
• Personal Transformation
Through journaling, reflection, and community connection, you’ll be guided toward deeper self-understanding and embodied growth. This inner work becomes a powerful anchor, helping you integrate your insights into everyday life long after the training ends.
