If you are interested in becoming a yoga teacher or simply want to learn more about yoga for your own growth and well-being, this training is for you. Our 200-hour program takes 15 months to complete, ensuring a depth of information and time to assimilate and understand it all. We are a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level and are currently up-leveling to their advanced standards of study. We believe in depth of study over time so you have time to soak it all in.

We have hosted students from Georgia, Tennessee, North & South Carolina. Graduates have gone on to teach around the United States, Germany and England. Graduates from our program have opened successful yoga studios such as One Love Yoga in Taylors, SC; Be Humble in Dallas, GA; Total Being Yoga in Matthews, NC.

Segment 1 and a signature piece of our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program is “Living the Five Virtues.” If you wish to train with us, this piece is required to move on to “Architecture of the Asanas.” This course gives us a common language from which to begin and will show you if you are ready to fall more deeply into life and lead as a yoga teacher.

When your practice is calling you to go beyond the physical… Join us and learn how to live a life full of meaning and integrity. Witness your actions as they become more mindful and align with your beliefs. Immerse yourself in our six-month study with a group of dedicated students who are ready to delve more deeply into the principles and traditions of Yoga. This is a perfect course for anyone who wishes to soak up yogic wisdom or become an example of leadership in their field. Join us for a course that includes courageous personal reflection that allows the highest version of yourself to shine through, and your best life to emerge.

Each weekend we will study one of the Five Causes as taught by Max Strom: gratitude, forgiveness, honesty, kindness, and humility.
