Settled Yoga Teacher Training

The Settled Yoga School is an alignment based yoga teacher training program designed to empower aspiring teachers with the fundamental knowledge needed to safely and sensibly share the authentic practice of Hatha yoga, with every-body, regardless of physical abilities or limitations.

If you are interested in deepening your practice and sharing the tradition of yoga with others, we would love to guide you in the transformative journey from student to teacher.

The Settled Yoga training places a strong focus on anatomy, principles of alignment and practice teaching to all levels while endeavoring to authentically pass on an expression of the Krishnamacharya lineage and tradition of yoga. Aspiring teachers will also have the opportunity to learn how to teach the Settled Body Restorative Yoga Method.

Settled Yoga School is certified RYS 200 with Yoga Alliance.

I have recently adjusted my pedagogical approach regarding the teacher to student ratio and now offer exclusive experiences to train with me privately, virtually or in person. 

These limited private yoga training sessions are for teachers and students interested in deepening their yoga practice and learning how to reduce the risk of injury in asana. The incredible biomechanics and anatomy of the body are based in universal principles of alignment and therefore apply to all physical endeavors.  

Learn to move safely in your body and how to guide others to do the same.
