Schedule + Retreat

See yourself more clearly through the lens of yoga.

Yoga Sanctuary Holistic Yoga Teacher Training & Personal Transformation program, certified through Yoga Alliance. This program will guide you to see yourself more clearly and unlock your highest potential as a teacher, as we explore body, mind and heart through a yogic lens. We have created a unique program that values practicality and wisdom in equal measure.

Course begins September 18, 2024

We will learn together through group practice, lecture, discussion, community collaboration, personal inquiry, and mentoring with seasoned teachers. We will laugh, share, sweat, be surprised, and even cook together on our path towards awakening the full potential of the whole self and the teacher within.

Here is a basic format of our program’s schedule. The course begins September 18, 2024. We will meet two Wednesday evenings per month from 6-9p. to build consistency in our community and personal practice, and to support you in assimilating information. Our first weekend will be September 21 & 22, meeting 8a-5p on Saturday and 9:30a-4:30p on Sunday. In the Spring, March 14-16, 2025, we will gather at beautiful Sugarbush Lodge in Alexandria, MN for our Self-Care Retreat with nourishing food, restorative yoga, racial justice (diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging), trauma and Ayurveda. This retreat is included in your tuition.

We look forward to sharing this time with you.
