JOURNEY WITHIN
This Isn't One-Size-Fits-All Yoga Teacher Training.
Bodies are different. Students are different. Teachers are different.
Journey Within teaches you to understand yoga deeply enough to adapt the practice to the person in front of you, rather than asking the person to adapt to the pose.
​
You'll learn to see beyond the shape of an asana and understand the anatomy, nervous system, philosophy and lived experience of the human being practicing it.
Learn the practice. Understand the body. Find your voice. Teach the person.
What Makes Journey Within Different?
More Than Learning to Teach Poses
Journey Within prepares you to teach the person in front of you, not perform
a memorized sequence.
Anatomy Informed
Understand how bodies move, why bodies move differently, and how to offer intelligent modifications and adaptations.
Trauma Aware
Learn to create environments that support choice, agency, nervous-system awareness and a student's relationship with their own body.
Rooted In Yoga
Go beyond asana through yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, subtle body, ethics and the traditions that give the physical practice context.
Find Your Voice
You aren't being trained to teach like us. You're learning the tools, confidence and knowledge to become your own kind of teacher.

Is Journey Within Right for You?
You don't have to arrive knowing how to teach. You just have to arrive willing to learn.
Journey Within is designed for students who want to deepen their personal practice, aspiring teachers ready to step into the seat of the teacher, and existing teachers who want a more therapeutic, adaptable approach to working with real people and real bodies.
You don't need to be the most flexible person in the room. You don't need an advanced asana practice. And you certainly don't need to fit an image of what a yoga teacher is “supposed” to look like.
Curiosity. Commitment. A willingness to practice. That's where we begin.
​
