    • Teaching classes together

    • Co-hosting retreats

    • Staying connected through the strong bonds formed during the training

  • Yes. Around 45% of our graduates are actively teaching today, which is a remarkably high number. This is because we place a strong emphasis on real teaching experience throughout the training.

Many of our students join the training without any intention to teach, and in our experience, most of them feel so inspired and confident by the end that they choose to step into teaching. Around 45% of our graduates are now teaching, but the choice is always yours. Beyond teaching skills, this training is a deeply personal journey, as a yogi and as a human.
