Become the Teacher You have Always Wanted to Be
Why this training is different
There are countless teacher trainings out there. Ours stands apart by focusing on real-world teaching skills and true authenticity.
We teach you how to stand in front of your class with comfort and clarity so that you lead from presence, not memorization.
We help you integrate your own spirituality, your story, and your unique voice into your teaching.
We bring in trauma-informed awareness and safe sequencing so that your classes are inclusive, accessible, and grounded in how bodies and minds of today really move.
You'll learn not just "what poses" but why you're asking your students to perform them.
What you'll learn
Yoga Philosophy: the roots of the practice, how modern yoga evolved, and how to engage with topics like cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, ethics of yoga, the sutras, and the chakra system.
Detailed asana breakdown: warm-up, standing, seated, forward bends, back bends, twists, inversions. You will learn how to teach them, modify them, assist them, and sequence them safely.
Teaching Methodology: demoing, assisting, cueing, adapting for injury and pregnancy, and finding your authentic voice in front of the class.
Meditation and pranayama: how to teach them, incorporate them, and use them for both your students and your personal growth.
The business side: how to begin teaching, build community, get credentialed from Yoga Alliance, and move from training to teaching in the real world.
Community and growth: you'll join a cohort of like-minded practitioners and build lasting connections that keep you supported, inspired, and evolving.
Who you will learn from
The Community of Fresh Yoga Teachers who will be facilitating
the Fresh Teacher Training:
Heidi Sormaz
Denise Hopkins
Ashley Feehan
Jennifer Kopec
And other Fresh Yoga instructors!
About the program
Format: In-person with some hybrid recorded material between weekends.
Certification: The training is an RYS-200 approved school with Yoga Alliance. Upon completion and fulfilling all assignments, you'll be able to register as an RYT 200.
Participatory learning: Expect asana classes, group discussion, practice teaching, readings, and written assignments to deepen your knowledge and ensure that you are ready to teach.
Not sure about teaching? If you are not yet certain that you want to teach, this program is still for you. You'll gain tools to develop an effective home practice, discern your authentic voice, and decide if you would like to step into the role of teacher when you are ready.
Our approach: Fresh Yoga:
Fresh Yoga pulls on 20 years of collective experience in the styles of Forrest , Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Yoga Tune-Up Fitness. Instead of rigid tradition alone, we blend the best of the lineage with smart, modern teaching so that you can learn how to teach students of today in a safe, empowered way.
We prioritize understanding the "why" behind the sequence, caring for the body, and creating classes that are safe, effective, and fun.
Attendance and certification guidelines:
To receive certification, you must attend at least 90% of the training hours. Up to 10% may be missed for emergencies (with instructor notice) and must be made up via recorded sessions or private make-up. If the missed material requires private, live make-up, there is a standard fee). Arriving more than 15 minutes late without informing instructor may affect your standing.
