BEYOND THE GROUP CLASS
Discover Teaching Paths You Never Knew Existed
Most teacher trainings prepare you for one thing: leading group classes. But after years of teaching the same sequences, many talented teachers burn out or fade away.
This program opens doorways to share yoga in ways that truly resonate with YOU:
Create & guide transformative retreats
Develop confidence in private sessions
Design programs for healthcare & schools
Share your knowledge through specialized workshops

✓ Customizable Expertise: Choose YOUR path through specialized modules and 6-8 electives
✓ Small Cohort: Maximum 15 students for personalized attention and deep bonds

"Sara helped me see there was so much more possible than the Saturday morning vinyasa class. I now guide quarterly retreats and rarely teach in studios anymore—I've created something so much more aligned with what I want to give."
