Quality Yoga Education
Some experiences last a lifetime!
Namaste
When you share your yoga with others, the beauty and promise of the practice embeds deeper into your own soul, enriching your life as you impact the lives of others. Whether you are a new yoga instructor, or a seasoned yoga teacher looking for advanced or specialty yoga training, Heartwood Yoga Institute is committed to providing a profound, deeply authentic yoga experience that will ripple out from our graduates and positively influence the world. We believe "to teach is to learn" and each time we share our understanding with trainees, our own relationship with yoga deepens. We have witnessed how each student brings something special to the dynamic of a tribe, and our hope is to help students find their unique voice as educators and healers by combining their personal gifts and experience with the teachings of yoga to impact others in an authentic, inspirational way.
