Thank you for your interest in the Groove Yoga 200hr YTT program!
This program is designed to deepen your understanding of and connection to the practice of yoga and self/Self.
This is not your typical yoga teacher training. It is a deep dive into personal transformation. It requires courage and a commitment to rigorous truth and self-compassion. The path of yoga is the path of the heart. It is the path to peace. It is a path that requires devotion, and its return on your investment is beyond what the mind can comprehend.
This training is about learning to embody this ancient practice in a way that transforms you, your loved ones, and your world through fearless self-study, deep love, and devoted practice. It is answering a call—first to self-love, and then to selfless service.
Emphasis on:
Space holding
Self-study
The history of yoga
The Eight-Limbed Path of Yoga
The Yoga Sutras
The chakra system
Physical anatomy
Cueing and assisting
The art of sequencing and class structure
The power of an authentic voice
Business practices and ethics of yoga

Throughout the training, we ask that you try your best to maintain a steady practice of five days per week, combining studio and home practice, with a minimum of three studio classes per week strongly encouraged. This is a serious commitment that asks you to prioritize your growth and you will only get out of it what you put in. Life will inevitably bring fun or distracting opportunities; in those moments, remember your commitment to yourself and your practice, and plan your time accordingly.
Attendance at all sessions is required. Any make-up time must be approved.
