I truly appreciate Sangha’s commitment to community. If you are a student looking to enhance your understanding of how yoga not only serves an individual, but an entire network of individuals, this training is for you. I appreciate the collaborative nature of the training and accessibility of the teachers. The emphasis on the relationships formed between students in the training will certainly serve all of us as we move out into the broader yoga community. The teachers truly care about their students success an  made us all feel like there is a place for each of us as teachers in our community.

Our Unique Approach to Teacher Training

---

At the end of each training we’ve done, the reflection has always been: the yoga practices themselves are so valuable and important, but it’s how you apply them to relationships and everyday life that really create the powerful, long-lasting effects. We believe strongly in “humble radiance” – remembering that we are all sharing the same space and figuring it out, whether we are a student or a teacher. ​​

The program is designed to help you build and maintain supportive habits and practices that both serve your personal practice and the practice of the students you teach. Our mission - through our studio and our trainings - is to build community through yoga + connection. 

Our cores values in leading foundational teacher trainings are:

• building relationships
• connecting you with your authentic mission & vision
• empowering you to apply your practice both on and off the mat
• living a life of service, to self and others, that acknowledges the value of community and our shared (and very precious) human experience​
• creating adaptable and versatile teachers who can teach in a variety of contexts and situations. Our person-first teaching model encourages you to see who is in the room versus following a script when you teach!

A unique and exciting aspect of our teacher training is our mentorship program. You will have access to a mentor, who will serve as your resource for more personalized attention and guidance. This relationship is extremely beneficial for taking this body of knowledge and figuring out how it applies to your own unique offerings.

This training is suited for anyone who wants to deepen their own yoga practice and/or teach yoga. You will be given homework that will help you practice and apply the teachings and you will be expected to complete your non-contact hour requirements to receive your certification. By the end of the training, you will not only learn how to teach a well-rounded and intelligent alignment-based vinyasa class; you will deepen your studentship and learn what makes you irreplaceable as a teacher so that you can share your gifts authentically with the world.

What Students Are Saying

You were able to adapt an in-person training well. [The teachers] create a culture of kindess and support even through a screen! There was a wide range of skilled presenters that made for a well-rounded training. Kaleigh's breakdown of anatomy was invaluable. I loved Kishor's discussion on the Bhagavad-Gita. Julie is incredible at theming and cueing. Caitlin is highly skilled at breaking down poses to make them accessible based on a person's individual challenges and body. - YTT graduate

About two years ago I fell in love with yoga, but didn’t imagine myself as a yoga teacher. After moving to Boston and practicing at various studios I really missed Sangha. When I saw they were running a YTT program online, I jumped at the opportunity to learn from Sangha. I’m so glad I did! [The teachers] are not only genuine people, but their passion and dedication to strengthening the yoga community is beyond inspiring. I love the idea that world would be a better place if everyone was a yoga teacher, and I can’t wait to keep practicing with all the wonderful humans I suddenly feel so close with. Recommend 10/10 no question! ​- YTT graduate

Representation & Inclusivity Scholarship

Our core values guide our mission and the choices we make for the studio, for our community and in our own personal practices. One of those values is inclusivity. This scholarship seeks to increase representation by removing financial barriers and expanding access to those who are underrepresented in the yoga community and underserved by its teachings. 

As part of the scholarship, we ask that you:

• Be committed to teaching yoga after finishing training
• Have a consistent yoga practice. This can be at Sangha Studio or elsewhere. 
• Also apply for a VSAC Advancement Grant if you are a Vermont resident.

​
We set aside funding for each training program for scholarships. Scholarships are awarded on an individual basis. Awards will be determined on a rolling basis.
