Because the most impactful teachers aren’t the ones who teach like someone else.
— They’re the ones who teach from the soul.
Learn to teach yoga with intelligence, intuition, and heart.
Great yoga teachers don’t teach from a script…
They teach from experience, intuition, and a deep relationship with the practice
TEACHING FROM THE SOUL: 200 HR YTT
OCTOBER 2026 - MAY 2027
One Weekend a Month. 8 months total
with SALTY BUDDHA & ISLAND YOGA SPACE
Teaching from the Soul is a training designed to help you build strong foundations in movement, anatomy, and energetics while
DISCOVERING THE TEACHER THAT ALREADY LIVES WITHIN YOU.
Through thoughtful study, hands-on practice, and guidance from experienced teachers, you’ll learn how to skillfully sequence and lead yoga classes, understand the body through anatomy and biomechanics, explore the energetic dimensions of yoga, and develop your own authentic voice as a teacher.
This collaborative training brings together the experience and perspective of teachers from Salty Buddha Yoga and Island Yoga Space, creating a rich and supportive learning environment for students to deepen their practice and grow into confident, thoughtful teachers.
Rather than asking you to teach exactly like us, this training encourages you to grow into the teacher you are meant to be—rooted in knowledge, inspired by tradition, and guided by your own lived experience of the practice.
What if I don’t want to teach?
You don’t have to.
Maybe it’s not about teaching for you.
Maybe it’s that something in the practice has started to click—
The way alignment changes how a pose feels in your body.
The philosophy behind the practice beginning to land.
The sense that there’s more here than what can fit into a 60-minute class.
This training is where we explore those layers.
A space to slow down, ask questions, and understand the practice in a deeper, more intentional way. To meet yourself where you are… and expand from there.
Without the pressure of becoming a teacher—
but with the opportunity to become your own guide, your own inner teacher.
What You’ll Leave With:
200-hour Yoga Alliance–certified teaching certification
A deeper, more intuitive understanding of your body and the layers within the practice
Tools to support growth—on and off the mat
A community that stays with you, and a clearer sense of your path
