General Information:

Our Zen Yoga Teacher Training is uniquely rooted in the Zen Buddhist tradition. Over the course of the training we study yoga from both the East Asian and Indian lenses. More details and feedback about the Zen Yoga YTT can be found here.

Zen yoga practice is grounded in alignment, energy flow, and mindfulness. This teacher training encourages you in finding your own truth and expressing/teaching from there. Our focus is on giving you the principles and tools you need to become a confident, creative, professional yoga teacher. More about Zen yoga can be found here.

The 2024 200-hour yoga teacher training is held at Big Bear Retreat Center in Walton, Oregon. It’s absolutely beautiful out there, and we eat vegetarian food prepared with deep care. Our teacher training gives a solid foundation in teaching different styles of yoga including Zen Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Vinyasa Flow, among others. Our graduates move in many different directions.

Some folks enter our training intending to teach, others do not. Regardless of your intentions, completing a yoga teacher training can be tremendously beneficial in supporting folks who are involved in many professions. Deeply practicing and learning over an entire season helps you to be healthier and happier, and often sets your life in a new direction.
