Become an Ekah Yoga teacher during a pandemic, while in school, working around a full time job, from afar, or from around the block. Ekah Yoga's Co-op Training strives to be accessible , efficient, and intimate.
At this time, all parts of the YTT 200hr will be offered online, but there will be options for in person trainings as well as flex options for those who need alternatives to a rigid schedule.
If in person options are available to the group, we will plan for 2 in person trainings in March and June. See schedule below.
NOTE: What is training is NOT
This training is not a cookie cutter approach, and is not solely focused on ZOOM only or like platforms. This program is very interactive, and our focus, even in the midst of a pandemic will be to provide students with one on one, or small group learning opportunities.
You will have in person options for mentorship and live classes (outdoor, or very small indoor classes with masks required.) We will also focus on foundational learning, so you may walk on a stable platform, and leave with solidarity to enhance creative expression. Foundations of Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, and Meditation will be woven into coursework alongside foundational philosophy, anatomy, methodology, and practicum.
To save your spot, apply and pay $400 deposit. Deposit is refundable until your application has been reviewed and approved.
