Once again, we’ve joined forces with Columbus’ most knowledgeable and impactful teachers to create a space for you to discover a profound embodiment of the yoga practice, on and off the mat. You will awaken pathways to cultivate awareness, understanding, authenticity, confidence and freedom in all areas of your life.
Through your participation in our all-encompassing program, you will tap into your fullest potential and begin to lead and live as a natural expression of all that you are. Through asana, meditation, personal inquiry, group discussion, philosophical application, community-building, hands-on coaching, assisting, practice teaching and leadership coaching, you will develop the technical knowledge and personal skills needed to teach a powerful yoga class, to any population.
Over the past 10 years, we’ve successfully graduated more than 200 participants from our training programs. They lead and teach at GIVE Yoga, community centers, non-profits, corporations, hospitals, schools, and many other yoga + fitness studios in Columbus and around the world! We are so inspired by this growing and powerful community.
