Integrate blends all four modules into a cohesive 200-hour yoga teacher training. Over the course of one academic year, focus moves from foundational stability in the lower body to self-awareness, spinal and core integration, upper body and relating to complexity, and the skills needed for service and teaching. Anatomy, alignment, breath, and nervous system principles are explored alongside somatic inquiry, reflective practice, and philosophy.

Experience stands at the core. Each weekend and intensive week blends active practice, exploration of habitual patterns, and inquiry. Participants explore how the body organizes, how breath and core support movement, and how alignment, effort, and release interact. The work emphasizes bridging the gap between understanding into embodiment, preparing practitioners to teach, guide, or deepen their own practice.

Integrate fuses personal development and somatic knowledge into one progressive journey. Completing all four modules provides a solid foundation for skillful teaching and lifelong practice.

Module 2 explores identity and the body’s inner axis across four weekends dedicated to the spine, core, breath, and chest.
Physically, the module examines the mechanics of spinal movement and muscular stabilization, including a deep-dive into the relationship between the diaphragm, psoas, and pelvic floor, and the ways in which internal pressure systems anchor movement. One weekend is dedicated to the autonomic nervous system, exploring how rhythm, pacing, and breath influence regulation.  Finally, work with the rib cage and thoracic mobility gradually opens the chest, linking breath, spine, and posture.  Key questions guide the physical journey throughout:  how do breath and spinal movement shape perception and embodied experience? How does the body organize around support, pressure, and release? And how can yoga support self-regulation?

Philosophically, the module examines the self as an integrating structure through which freedom, agency, and power become possible. As the spine and breath become more organized, questions of inner orientation come into focus: What is the nature and price of my freedom?  What does my power serve? And how can I participate more fully in life? Through this lens, embodied practice extends into a larger process of transformation and meaning-making.

Experience remains the center of the training. Each weekend begins with extended practice, supported by ongoing somatic inquiry and reflection. Together, these explorations establish the spine, breath, core and self, as an integrated center for both practice and teaching.

Module 4 focuses on teaching yoga as a profession. Over an intensive week, trainees refine their communication and sequencing skills. The module also addresses the ethics and psychology of the teacher–student relationship.

Teaching labs form the core of the week. Participants design and teach short sequences, receive structured feedback, and refine verbal instruction, pacing, and class organization. Emphasis is placed on clear communication, appropriate use of language, and the ability to respond to different students and situations.

Service also includes the professional context of teaching yoga. Sessions cover the foundations of yoga business, the teacher’s relationship to money, and the transition from personal practice to offering work in the world. By the end of the week, participants gain practical teaching experience, clearer professional orientation, and a grounded understanding of how to translate inner work into responsible service.

Module 3 explores the complexity of the upper body in motion. Over three weekends, Systems covers hands, arms, shoulders and neck. Participants engage anatomy, alignment, and yoga philosophy to understand how the upper body transfers weight, manages load, and organizes movement. Systems introduces the upper body as a center of complexity and connection in yoga.

Experience remains central. Each weekend begins with active practice and somatic exploration. Participants notice habitual tension, experiment with release, and observe how alignment shapes ease and stability. The central questions become: how does the upper body create both mobility and support? Where do holding patterns limit presence and flow?

The module guides participants to explore shoulder mechanics, arm strength, wrist and neck alignment, and upper thoracic weight shifts. They track how breath influences movement, refine Haltemuster in the chest and neck, and bring awareness to energy and perception in each posture. By integrating alignment, sensation, and mindful attention, the work cultivates discernment in practice, teaching, and embodiment.
