200-hour yoga teacher training
I am the director of the Carolina Yoga Company’s teacher trainings. I personally led our 200-hour yoga teacher training for 10 years, graduating hundreds of yoga teachers.
The program is now expertly led by master educator Alexandra DeSiato (second from left here), my frequent collaborator and coauthor of the best seller Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses and Lifelong Yoga. My business partner Lies Sapp (third from left) cocreated the program with me, and our studio manager Alexis Besosa (at right) teaches anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology in the training.
500-hour yoga teacher training
Enrollment for Carolina Yoga Company’s 500-hour yoga teacher training will soon reopen! (Technically, it’s a 300-hour program, that along with our 200 or any 200-hour yoga teacher training equals 500 hours.)
Add your email address here to be the first to know when enrollment reopens in December 2024.
