Yoga Teacher Training 2025

YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
How are we different?
Our yoga teacher training includes 50 in-person hours (6 weekends, 3 months) which will be a immersion-style training that focuses on what we believe are the core elements that determine a good yoga teacher & space holder: self-awareness and reflection, anatomy, physiology, kinetics, yoga basics & creativity, teaching off the mat, musicality, and more.
We find that too many yoga teacher trainings these days are charging more money for a lot of extra fluff and a large teaching staff, yet their graduates are coming out feeling unprepared to lead a class effectively. This training aims to be the antidote to that: whether you've already completed a YTT or not, you'll leave this training with 100% confidence in your teaching abilities. Whether you're interested in teaching yoga or another movement / group fitness style, we guarantee you will benefit from this training.
How It's Broken Down
-
✺
Why are you here? Weekend One focuses on the responsibility of space-holding and how to do it effectively, while helping you get crystal-clear on what your purpose is.
-
✺
Weekend Two is all about anatomy & alignment. We don't teach asana the way they did 100 years ago, because we know more now. We focus on whole-body health & longevity, especially for women.
-
✺
Weekend Three is physiology and movement: we may have been taught to think of movement only in terms of alignment, but what is actually happening inside the body? Science and health nerds, get ready: this weekend will blow your mind.
-
✺
Weekend Four we get deeper into how yoga classes can be structured and executed to be purposeful and effective. We go over how to teach a variety of styles, how to master the basics, and how to let your creativity shine through.
-
✺
Weekend Five is all about what separates the good teachers from the GREATS: teaching off of the mat, hands-on assists, and musicality, to name a few.
-
✺
Weekend Six is your Initiation Weekend into this new chapter of self- and body-awareness. Whether you intend to teach or not, we guarantee you will leave this training with new wisdom & inspiration for the next chapter of your life.
What It Entails
Mentorship with expert instructors
This is a mentorship-style training with Sami. This will be Sami's 9th time as the lead instructor on a yoga teacher training; she has certified over 75 instructors and found these trainings to be life-changing for everyone involved. Sami has been teaching yoga since the age of 15; she has taught all over the world in dozens of different countries. Sami has a Master's degree in Alternative Medicine from the American College of Healthcare Sciences & is a total nerd when it comes to anatomy & physiology. Her group fitness classes are consistently waitlisted and she wants yours to be, too!
100+ hours of online content
This training includes access to 100+ hours of bonus online content, including deep dives into the chakras, working with special populations, meditations and mudras, the history of yoga, and more.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
While this training curriculum was originally offered through Yoga Alliance, we now consciously make the choice not to register our training with Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is not a credentialing or licensing organization; it is not required to be registered with Yoga Alliance to teach yoga. Yoga Alliance has notoriously poor standards for trainings and high fees for membership.
-
Whether you intend to teach or not, this training will send you on journeys of self-awareness and personal development that will leave you transformed forever! The bonds forged during this training are incomparable. If you are more interested in learning about yogic philosophy than the body, check out our add-on training.
-
You can catch up with our weekend recordings. Of course, things come up; but we don't recommend missing more than one weekend.
-
YES! It is not guaranteed that we will invite everyone who completes the training to our teaching staff. However, there will be an opportunity to audition for our teaching staff after completing the training.
-
The cost of training includes an unlimited membership during the duration of the training for those who are not already members.
-
Yes! Payment plans are available and can be set up directly through Walla at the time of registration.
