Shanti Yoga Roots (SYR).

Shanti is now accepting applications for 200 hour yoga teacher training (YTT). The class will be in person and recorded on zoom. 

 When:

We gather on Saturdays. Once approved you can join anytime.  All classes will be in person as long as we can meet in person. If we need to move to an online program, we have the capability to do that and have done this prior. We have some classes recorded on Zoom for times you may need to make up a class or for limbs of yoga that are best taught online. We will adjust this course as needed and you always have the option to remain 100% online if you become ill. SYR has successfully taught a dozen or so YTT trainings and graduated numerous teachers to date. This is our 5th year hosting a 200 hour YTT.

Our SYR teachers are trained in over 1000 hours individually. Heather Collins will be your lead teacher. She earned her first 200 hour training in Anchorage, Alaska and has since received numerous other 200 hour trainings from teachers across the globe like:

Seane Corn, Janet Stone, Ashley Turner, Christopher Wallis, and Patrick Beach. Heather also has her 500 hour certificate in Yoga Therapy from InBody in Salt Lake City. Heather's latest 200 hr training is from Commune Yoga in Seattle, Washington. Pema Chodron has been Heather's spiritual teacher for the last 25 years. Heather owns Shanti Yoga Roots and is currently in grad school to become a Sex Therapist.

Pre-Requisite

There is a prerequisite that you take 10 SYR classes prior to the 200 hour training. We want to ensure you are a good fit for SYR and that we can provide you the best support structure on your path forward. These days you can get a yoga certificate in many places. Please test out the studio you think works for you, as not to waste time and money with one that does not fit your lifestyle and life goals.

Many yogis take YTT to deepen their practice. You may never teach yoga, but we will set you up for success to teach. Many of Shanti’s best teachers did not think they would teach and today they rock.
