yoga teacher training with Sage Rountree
I have been training educators for over 30 years, and training yoga teachers for 14 years, in 200-, 300-, and 500-hour yoga teacher trainings and in continuing education offerings.
My work gives you everything you need to feel confident, capable and relaxed in front of the classroom.
And this energy gets transmitted to your students—which then benefits your career. Talk about a win/win/win.
I offer a range of yoga teacher training programs through my virtual studio, Comfort Zone Yoga, and my brick-and-mortar studio, Carrboro Yoga Company, in central North Carolina, USA.
Join me to earn your 300/500-hour certificate fully online, or with a mix of online and in-person modules.
Or learn à la carte by developing a speciality in yoga for athletes; balance and core; gentle, yin, and restorative yoga; or mindfulness, yoga nidra, and breath awareness.
Choose one or all of these ways we can work together:
