This is the life you’ve created
You look forward to it every day 
Because you know that teaching invigorates & inspires you like nothing else
You get into bed each night amazed, full of joy and gratitude

This is no accident, 
You take better care of yourself than ever before
You live authentically because you know you stand as a model for others 
Radiating all the attributes that people want --
Which naturally magnetizes them to you

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been called
We invite you to step into a life that taps your highest potential and highest good
A life richer than you ever imagined
Only you can make this happen
Are you ready?

The Turbodog Yoga 200hr Teacher Training is a comprehensive program for both students aspiring to become yoga teachers and for experienced teachers interested in expanding their skills.  Turbodog Training will immerse you in self-exploration! Individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves and to their practice will find great fulfillment, even without an immediate desire to teach.  Our curriculum is taught over 9 weekends and meets the requirements for Yoga Alliance certification.

The training turns avid students into excellent yoga teachers so that they may become powerful healing influences in communities around the globe.  We believe that a combination of in-depth technical skills, along with deep personal discovery and growth, are the foundation of a compelling and effective yoga teacher.  You can expect to undergo a process of transformation and personal expansion like no other, and you will emerge with a level of skill that will separate you from the crowd.

Steve & Talya take the utmost care in creating a nurturing and safe environment for you to dive into the process of learning.  You will be encouraged to embrace and embody your authentic self, as that is how you will deliver your gifts to the world.

Teaching Tools

Yoga Practice
Having a consistent & frequent practice is essential to being a good teacher. Each day we meet, Steve & Talya will lead you through a 2 hour practice. You will also be encouraged to attend ongoing classes alongside cultivating a personal practice. Only by doing yoga can you connect to its true healing powers. And only from your personal experience can you authentically share the magic of yoga with others.

Teaching
During our afternoon sessions you will learn how to teach using all of you: this includes (but is not limited to) your voice, your body, your hands and your heart. You will have the opportunity to teach actual students as well as your fellow trainees. Steve & Talya will be your allies, giving you feedback and guiding you towards your most compelling and inspiring self. Your job is to make this process your priority and do your best.

Technical Expertise

In our time together you will learn how to sequence safely for all levels of students, how to expertly modify and work with injuries, how to work safely with pregnant students and how to provide delicious and effective hands-on assists. You will also gain an understanding of how the body works and how to teach in order to open your students - physically and emotionally - so they can live healthy and rich lives.

Ceremony

Throughout our time together, we will use a variety of indigenous ceremonies, including shamanic work, Toltec practices, energetic healings and more, to help you shed and mend the unworkables in your life so you can bring forth your full potential. These rich processes are profound teachers that also bring forth a richer understanding of the human condition, an essential quality in any meaningful yoga teacher.

Anatomy
Our integrated Anatomy Course will give you a framework to understand the human body in general and how it is affected by yoga in particular. The knowledge gained during this course will give you confidence as a teacher and will be instrumental to your skill-set.

Business
Yoga is a business. As part of this teacher training you will learn how to make a living as a successful yoga teacher. Everything from how to position yourself within the market and to prospective employers, to how to retain and grow your student base, to how to get and negotiate private clients, will be covered in this training. You will leave excited and prepared to begin your business.

Our Expectations
Our trainees are responsible adults enrolling in this program from a place of choice. Our expectation is that the level of dedication we are providing to you be reciprocated. That you do your best at all times. That you commit yourself fully to this process and make room for the possibility of real growth and transformation.
