WHO SHOULD APPLY
Anyone who is looking to deepen their practice and knowledge of yoga. The biggest barrier that many yogis face is the “teaching” part of teacher training. This training is for those of you who want to teach AND those of you who just have a desire to deepen your practice. Yoga teacher training is about personal awareness and development and expanding your knowledge of yoga, so your practice is enhanced and so is your life. Please note: All skill levels are invited to enroll in yoga teacher training, so don’t stress if you don’t have yoga experience.
Terrie and Suzanne are committed to helping you succeed based on what is important to you and will support your growth every step of your yoga teacher training journey.
WHAT WILL I BE CERTIFIED TO TEACH?
Our methodology will prepare you to teach CYFlow and CY26 classes. The fundamentals of other styles such as Ashtanga and Restorative Yoga are also covered. You will be provided a CYFlow and CY26 sequence to learn and teach but you will also be empowered to create your own. This training is designed to give you teaching framework, but importantly to help you develop your own unique voice and teaching style.
We are a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School and our curriculum meets the guidelines set forth by Yoga Alliance for 200-hour yoga teacher training. Upon the completion of your training, you can register with Yoga Alliance as a RYT-200.

Training with Terrie and Suzanne was an awe-inspiring, eye-opening, life-affirming program and if I had the option I would do it again without hesitation.
Teacher Training has given me a boost of motivation and aspiration and I am so excited to see where the path takes me. My asana practice has grown considerably and I have carried many of the principles learned through exploration of ancient yoga teachings into my daily life and share them with my friends and family.
With the tools I’ve learned over the course of this teacher training I hope to develop an even greater appreciation of myself and the world around me and help others find the same gratitude and peace. The process is never over, it is a mountain without a top, and I intend to continue to peel the onion, push the envelope, and break through the boulders on this journey of life.
