Our vision is to facilitate growth and make yoga teacher training accessible to all who are looking. We customize our training to meet the needs of the students. In so doing, we train them to meet their future practitioners where they are.

Our mission is to birth forth teachers, grounded and empowered to follow their hearts and pour forth with their authentic voice, honoring the great tradition, science, and the art of yoga. We work with all cultures, ethnicities, religions, ages, etc., and find it rewarding to see this diversity reflected in our program, which deeply enriches the experience.

Our Program

We see the journey toward becoming a teacher as a process much like this... Seeking to bring about vital wellness in all areas of life, our program guides future teachers and/or yoga enthusiasts to a better understanding of not only the alignment, physiology, and physical practice of yoga but also the mental & spiritual elements of yoga. The history and philosophy of yoga will be introduced through readings, discussions, and creative projects.

This course will exercise your mind, body, and spirit and has the potential to bring about greater clarity and direction. By giving yourself the gift of space and time, you will deepen the essential connections to eliminate any excess and hold true to your priorities. A way of being; “living in the moment” cultivates gratitude and assists you in relating to the world and people in it.

Each training session will open you up to a broader view of yoga. In this process, you will learn the skills for teaching and facilitating others to develop their own practice of this discipline and lifestyle.

Students can participate in this RYT training for their personal growth, however, the more you learn, the more you will want to share. Whether you go on to teach part-time or as a full-time career, you will find immense rewards. We will discuss the various formats a certified yoga teacher has for teaching classes (corporate to private) and help with a game plan to get them going. We are committed to making the training process as progressive and fun as it is uplifting to your whole person

Meet Your Instructor

Jeannine discovered the joys of sharing yoga in 1999 after training for a marathon and experiencing the need to bring about balance and flexibility in training. Immediately connecting with the practice and teaching, it became a regular routine that she invited others to join. She began facilitating a home practice where the joy of passing on the gift of yoga became as sweet as the practice itself.

Since receiving her initial guidance toward instructing yoga, Jeannine has continued to study and practice varying forms of yoga, including Hatha, Ashtanga, and Bikram. This exploration of style and philosophy is a reflection of her readiness to learn from many perspectives and viewpoints.

Jeannine is currently registered with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 500, (Experienced Yoga Teacher and Experienced Yoga Teacher Trainer.)
