“Empower Women, Change Lives, and Harness Your Own Feminine Power in the World’s Only Women’s Yoga Teacher Training!”

This 5-Day Women’s Yoga Teacher Training Gives You the Skills, Sisterhood, Confidence, and Knowledge You Need to Teach Yoga to Women during ALL Stages and Seasons of Life

It’s no surprise to anyone who’s attended a yoga class that yoga is, by and large, taught by women to women.

But here’s the surprise: most women don’t know how to practice yoga as women.

Many of us have been taught to practice yoga in a masculine, not a feminine, way.  We’re competing with one another; treating our bodies like machines (rather than like intelligent, intuitive, creative organisms); practicing the same way everyday despite our age, mood or energy level;, we’re practicing out of obligation instead of our deepest love and devotion.

And in practicing this way, we are missing out on living as our fullest selves. We’re not tasting and embodying our truest power, radiance, and purpose.

What would the world look like if more women walked around empowered and comfortable in their own skin? If they knew how to be the wise medicine woman and practice yoga in a way that was truly healing and nurturing when they had PMS? When menstruating? Feeling depressed or run down (with low libido in tow)? Enduring the ups and downs of perimenopause? Nursing a broken heart? Or wondering how to step into the role of a respected and wise elder during post-menopausal years?

Can you imagine how inspiring that would be? We have so much deep wisdom and empowerment we can pass onto others, once we learn to give it to ourselves.

We need to become this woman. And then we need to teach other women how to do the same.

During this 5-day Women’s Yoga Teacher Training you will:

• Acquire the skills and confidence needed to teach yoga to women in all stages of life—from menses to menopause.
• Get in-depth, insider knowledge of the cycles and seasons of womanhood—body, heart, and mind–and how they relate to yoga.
• Tap into your feminine leadership and discover how to share your vision and voice without sacrificing your softness.
• Find out how to sequence, pace, and organize your yoga classes to serve women in different life stages.
• Ignite your creativity, intuition, wisdom, and compassion as a yoga teacher.
• Learn the both the fundamental and nuanced differences between masculine and feminine approaches to yoga.
•  Discover how to intimately commune with your own inner and outer cycles through the practice of women’s yin and flow yoga.
• Laugh, love, and learn from other inspiring women!
• Empower other women to love and respect their bodies, their wisdom, and their intuition.

Here’s what you’ll cover over these five days:

Each day we’ll  unravel and unpack the different “seasons” of a woman’s life, emotional world, and monthly hormonal cycle.

During the morning sessions Sara will give an inspiring talk and then lead you through a yoga and meditation practice that illustrates the day’s topic (see above).

In the afternoons you’ll explore the specifics of the morning practice—posture choices, sequencing, themes, and pacing. Then you’ll have a chance to do some practice teaching and get feedback from both Sara and your peers.  There will also be time for Q & A, lively discussion, and other group/partner practices to deepen your experience and understanding.

There is no other course like this available in the world. Based both on Sara’s book, The Way of the Happy Woman: Living the Best Year of Your Life and the culmination of 15 years of her own personal and professional experience working with women around the world, this training offers an innovative and necessary approach to feminine health and happiness.  It integrates the ancient wisdom of Yin and Flow Yoga, Ayurveda, Taoism, and Buddhist meditation, tailored specifically for our bodies, hearts, minds, and lives.

Our ancestors adhered to the daily, seasonal, and yearly rhythms of nature by necessity, but modern life overrides these cycles. This course will reconnect you with those ancient rhythms in a way that’s practical and accessible for the here and now.

All graduates will receive a certificate upon completion.

Who this course is for:

You must have at least two years of yoga experience to attend this course. Participants need not be yoga teachers to attend this course—it can be a potent way to deepen one’s own personal practice and feminine embodiment and wisdom as well.

Required course materials: The Way of the Happy Woman: Living the Best Year of Your Life and “The Women’s Yoga Kit” .
