Evolving Consciously:
300 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
To consciously choose to come together to advance our knowledge, refine our skills, and step more fully and honestly into our Self. This program is designed as an exploration of the practitioners quest of... "How do I evolve from here?"
What is Evolving Consciously?
Evolving Consciously is a program designed to guide us to the remembrance of the fundamental expression of Oneness. With the beautiful merging of spirit and science, we embrace traditional yoga teachings and time-honoured methods of healing. This course is integrative, compelling and relevant for yoga teaching today. "Move away from the box of yoga instructor and into the seat of Yoga teacher."
We offer a program that is rich and experiential, which invites you to sink into the heart of the practice through dedicated studentship and self-inquiry. Evolving Consciously gives you a broader and deeper set of skills and insights to bring into your practice and teaching. The 'advanced' quality of this training is not merely about so-called advanced asanas, but rather leads us on the admirable path of self-discovery. Here we peel back the layers, allow room for vulnerability, and reveal the truth of who we are.

Additionally all our modules are set up as 'individual pods' meaning you can join our training at any time and be right on track.***
