Yoga teacher training will give you the tools to be a leader in any part of your life, to be able to share how this transformative practice has affected you and to be able to show how yoga can improve the life of anyone who is willing to learn.

8. Detailed alignment, breath rhythm, variations, and modifications - as a teacher you will be instructing this practice and in this training you’ll learn proper alignment for a safe and productive practice along with how to modify a pose to help your students with injuries or up-level a pose to give more advanced students a way to grown their own practice.
