Teacher Training/Student Developement Program

My intention with this teacher/student training is to share everything that is important to me in the practice, study, teaching and lifestyle of yoga.

This training will be a reflection of my style and my Strength & Soul classes. If you are unfamiliar with me and how I teach I encourage you to attend some classes with me or to preview one of my dvds to ensure this training is a fit for you and your expectations.

I expect a 100% commitment of all 20 students that attend this training. This means attending each session in its entirety and completing all given assignments and readings.

A certificate authorizing you to teach Strength & Soul classes will be given based on your commitment and dedication and your proficiency in completing all components of the training. I will also give you a personalized letter that you can submit along with your credentials to any potential employer.
