We offer a diverse curriculum that guides students through each facet of yoga including the eight limbs of yoga, posture break downs, physical anatomy, sequencing, the subtle energy body, meditation training, the history of yoga, powerful teaching methods, the ethics of yoga and the Yoga Sutras.
Each day you’ll be guided through the wonders of yoga through one of our passionate facilitators: Ali Brasher, Julianne Farrell, Robin Samples and Brandon Cleek.
The majority of training is organized as a fall getaway- a 10 day immersion in Pure Michigan at the stunning Pier Cove Grove Retreat Center equipped with lavish overnight accommodations (single and shared), yoga studio, communal dining and liveable, breathable, relaxing in - and outdoor space. The remaining portion of training is spread over three immersive weekends in Chicago.

Yoga, by definition, means to yoke or to union. Union of the mind, body and soul. Traditionally, yoga was passed down from teacher to teacher, recognizing that every single person is their own guide. The teacher training process brings you in full union with Self, the practice and a fresh view on how we live the human experience.
