Gentle Strength Yoga Teacher Training

Gentle doesn't mean easy

Anyone who loves Gentle Yoga will tell you it's not easy. And when it comes to teaching this increasingly popular style, there's a lot to consider and manage simultaneously.

Gentle Strength Yoga is a mindful practice that falls somewhere between a Level 1 and Restorative class. By incorporating active work to build strength and mobility, simple breath and meditation practices, while also carving out ample time and space to rest deeply in comfortably supported restorative poses, this holistic yet practical approach offers a satisfying balance to students of all stages of life and levels of fitness.

ABout the Training

This dynamic and experiential training will teach you to create safe, engaging, and satisfying Gentle Strength Yoga practices (for yourself and your students!). With a balance of discussion, experiential work, and practice teaching your fellow trainees, you'll come away from this weekend feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and empowered to share what you've learned.

In this training, you'll learn:

Why the Gentle Strength approach is so important for today's student
How to incorporate stronger work in a balanced way

Break free from your routine and learn a new approach to practice that your students (and your own body) will love! This training will provide you with a new specialty that will make you more versatile as a teacher, while also enhancing and refining your teaching of other styles. And perhaps most importantly, you will come away feeling inspired to apply a gentler approach in your own practice and life - because it's essential to walk the walk as a teacher!

FROM PAST TRAINEES...

"A mini retreat! Not only did I gather tools for my teaching toolbox, I also connected with like minded souls, sharing each other’s knowledge in such a compassionate, welcoming and empowering environment. Loved every aspect of it!"
