Go Beyond the Poses.
Become an Embodied Yoga Teacher.
Are you ready to LIVE your yoga?
You feel the call.
It's a desire that goes deeper than just perfecting a posture. It’s a yearning to understand the why behind the practice, to connect with its ancient wisdom, and to share its transformative power with the world from a place of deep authenticity.
If you are ready to move from simply doing yoga to truly living it, you are in the right place.
The Embodied Yogi School’s 200-Hour Teacher Training is a comprehensive program designed for aspiring teachers and dedicated students who want to explore the full spectrum of yoga. We focus on "embodiment"—the art of integrating yoga philosophy, somatic awareness, and functional anatomy into a practice that is both deeply personal and skillfully shared.
Our Partners
We are proud to partner with the YMCA, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to community health and wellness, and globally renowned music producer DJ Taz Rashid, whose inspiring music enhances our immersive learning experiences. We invite you to join our 2026 Livestream Hybrid Training community to discover your power, embody your truth, and love your practice.

This training is led by a team of dedicated, experienced, and heart-centered facilitators. We are committed to providing you with unwavering support, deep wisdom, and the practical tools you need to thrive.
