About your teachers

The course will be taught predominately by myself (Katrina Gustafson Broyles) and Lisa Schlelein.  We have both completed several YTTs and have studied with numerous teachers in our yoga career.  We both have taught in other trainings and now have the opportunity to facilitate our own training.  We are certified E-RYT’s as well.

We are bringing in many expert teachers to help enrich and supplement this already in-depth program.  Our curriculum far exceeds the Yoga Alliance requirements for certification and we are proud of what we have put together. Some of these teachers include: Dr. Katyayani Poole, Sri Jeff Poole, Beth Sanchez, Laura Wade Jaster, Lakshmi Nair, Jeremy Wolf, Elissa Hardy, Allison Benner, and Todd Garcia.

We are so excited to share with you what our teachers have taught us.  We are a registered 200 yoga school with Yoga Alliance certification, and if you are considering a training this one is going to be exceptional!

We realize there are many trainings to choose from and while all have great things to offer, our program strives to be the most thorough and comprehensive.  We attribute this to the fact that our program has both the study and understanding of the physical benefits of this ancient practice, but also, and more importantly, the study and experience of the more subtle realms of existence.  This will truly be a life changing experience!

Requirements

  • Must have a strong dedication to learning and practice
  • Open minded and ready for life changing possibilites
  • At least one year of consistant yoga practice
  • Be of sound mind and body
  • Committment to completion of the program
  • Completion of essay application
  • Interview with lead teachers of the program

Cost: $2,500
