Train with us
Choosing a teacher training course can be overwhelming with so many options to choose from. Here are some of the reasons we believe our training is truly unique:
In-person learning experience
Our program offers individual and group feedback that cannot be replicated virtually.
Supported by community
We are proud to be able to offer a safe and nurturing environment where you will feel supported, heard, and valued during and after the training.
Healing through the practice of yoga
Transformation is at the heart of our training. This is why we highlight ceremony, the study of philosophy, and meditation in our curriculum. These elements are central to creating a sacred space in which to work. A space in which we can overcome our fears and learn, as the Cherokee tradition states, to walk in Beauty.
Grounded in research and science
Yoga is a sacred practice. Nonetheless, research plays a key role in debunking misconceptions as well as ensuring the health and safety of practitioners. You will be provided with a working knowledge of the science of yoga, anatomy, and its applications.
Lifelong learning opportunities
Students are invited to continue their development with us through assisting opportunities in classes, workshops, and retreats around the world. High Yoga School’s graduates receive 10% off our future mentorship courses and advanced trainings.
