What Makes East Cincy Yoga Teacher Training Unique?
Learn to truly teach - Whether or not you go through training to be an instructor or just for yourself, our program isn't about memorizing and reciting sequences. Instead, an emphasis is placed on teaching principles for clearly instructing students bodies into alignment. Also, if you prefer more 1 on 1 training that is more personable, in a small group setting, then this is the training for you. We have a maximum of around 10 students during training in order to maintain that personal and intimate setting.

PERKS!
  • 20 Free yoga classes at East Cincy Yoga throughout the duration of the training is included with your tuition! That's a $200+ savings there!

FAQ'S
Can I join at any time, even if the training has begun?
Yes, you can join at any point - for example, if you begin at Module 9, that's fine - you can complete the other modules when the next training session begins. You just have to complete all modules within a 1 year time frame. However, Early Bird Specials are ONLY at the beginning of training.
​
What if I miss a Module during training?
Again, no problem if you miss a module as you can make it up in the next training.

How long should I be practicing yoga before beginning training?

This is up to each individual - When you are ready to go deeper you will know. This is not about how far you can stretch your body, it's more like - how far can you open and stretch your mind. We have many students that simply want to take the teacher training to learn more for their own practice instead of becoming instructors. If this is the route you choose then you can decide whether or not you want to do the 20 minute peer flows and hour public class.
