Teacher Training

Join Tracey Garcia, ERYT- 500, co-owner and lead teacher at Hippie Soul Yoga, and guest teacher Sarah Hogan, ERYT-500 for this 200 Hour Foundational Teacher Training program in the Pikes Peak Region. This is an empowering and dynamic approach to the art and skill of learning, living and teaching Integrated Vinyasa™ Yoga. It is a yoga practice rooted in intelligent, natural evolutionary patterns and emphasizes the subtle inner work we access via our physical bodies and movement. It unifies the polarities of alignment and flow, anatomy and energetics, engagement and relaxation, outer and inner, focus and release, structure and spontaneity, and work and play. More than simply a style of yoga, Integrated Vinyasa illuminates our relationship with Nature, our interconnectedness and an energetically sustainable approach to living fully.

This Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher Training program is appropriate for aspiring teachers with a minimum of 1-2 years of consistent yoga practice. This exceptional training begins at the source and roots of yogic tradition, and unfolds progressively as a means to understand its modern context, and to teach the modern practitioner from a place of relevance and connection.
