YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Winter YTT Session: January 29 - April 30, 2025
Fall YTT Session: August 27 - November 16, 2025
At Sojourn, we believe Yoga is a lifelong practice touching our many dimensions and shaping how we show up in the world. When we move and breathe with awareness, aligning our actions with intention- we bear witness to our own transformation.
Our 200 Hour Teacher Training program is both teacher training and life training. You will learn how to navigate the totality of your human experience; mentally physically and emotionally, with skillful awareness and curiosity. In deepening your self-awareness, you will develop authentic ways to share the ancient practice of Yoga with others.
EMBODIED TEACHINGS— ON & OFF THE MAT
The connection and closeness found in the local community combined with the collective expertise of a world class teaching team. Our instructors bring with them thousands of hours of teaching and have studied around the globe with the most renowned teachers.
Each of them are highly skilled educators, dedicated to sharing their wisdom, forging pathways of devotion and living their yoga. You will be guided through the program with clarity, confidence and ease.
WHAT SETS US APART
comprehensive
The foundation to become a yoga teacher through exploration of the anatomical and subtle body. Many online courses will offer you a quick certification, but not the opportunity to cultivate the craft of teaching in this essentially dynamic environment.
You will leave this training grounded in your body with the tools to be in a harmonious relationship with your own nervous system and qualified to confidently teach others.
developmental
Elevated offerings that focus on developing your own creative process for sequencing a safe, meaningful and somatically intelligent class.
You will use your direct experience in the context of the sacred learnings of Yoga to create intentional experiences with a sense of purpose and integrity.
authenticity
Space to nurture your voice and style. You will be invited to play with thoughtful methods of communication and discover the most authentic expression of who you are and how you share.
You will not emerge teaching like your favorite teacher. You are here to teach like YOU.
community
Our deeply held commitment to healing collectively through the presence of community. You will be supported by the strength and compassion of ours while practicing out in the world in reverent and relevant ways.
You will honor the ancient ethics of Yoga through Seva Service- a project supporting communities who have less access to the safety and resources that healing work requires.
