Movewell Yoga School’s 200-hour teacher training provides the building blocks to dive deeper into your own practice or to step into the role of a teacher. This training focuses on yoga history, meditation, pranayama (breathwork), anatomy, and teaching methodology. This is a Yoga Alliance certified training.

This Training is for you if you want to ...
​
  • Teach! Or not teach! You will learn how to teach a well-rounded, intentionally sequenced vinyasa class, but you will also learn how to make your own yoga practice adaptable and sustainable so you can practice for life!
 
  • Honor yoga lineage and tradition. You will learn more than poses and sequencing! We believe teaching and honoring the multifaceted path of yoga maintains its authenticity and integrity.
 
  • Be part of a community with like-minded people. You will learn, grow, and be supported as you expand your comfort zone.​
