Power Yoga Teacher Training - St. Paul, MN

“I knew that Teacher Training would be an amazing learning experience. I didn't realize that it would teach me so much about what I already knew about myself deep down. I now so much want to serve others and share yoga with as many people as possible.”

Teacher Training begins Wednesday, February 15th.

The goal of our Level 1 Certification is to teach you how to become a dynamic teacher, while at the same time, giving you an opportunity to explore and discover the power within yourself, both as a teacher and as an individual. Join a community that shares your passion for yoga, find the strength in your own voice and build confidence leading a group. Redefine your personal yoga practice and push your edge!

Our practical training programs teach you how to TEACH yoga, not just the poses. Most yoga teacher trainings are spread out over an eight-week period, letting you digest and apply what you’ve learned. We will train you to teach a dynamic and challenging CorePower Yoga Class, and give you the confidence to step into any class and guide the students through a powerful physical and mental journey.

Although you may have a gifted personal practice, guiding a room full of students through a powerful Vinyasa yoga practice with confidence is quite different than practicing yourself. Mastering the ability to communicate with your students is a crucial part of being an effective teacher. From a modern physiology and functional anatomy perspective, CorePower Yoga Teacher Trainings provide cutting edge techniques such as anatomy study, cadaver labs, video review, posture specific workshops, and more, for a comprehensive experience. Having a strong understanding of the way the body functions allows teachers to better understand why postures work the way they do and why the series follows a particular sequence. This allows our teachers to effectively give firm and safe hands-on physical adjustments.

What to expect during training:

Learn how to teach a vinyasa yoga class as a workout for the body, mind and spirit
Learn how to sequence asanas in a fluid manner and unite breath with movement
Learn about alignment and how to avoid injuries
Learn how to teach with your voice and your hands, how to encourage and inspire people, and how to use your body language to enhance a class

Hone your presentation and communications skills so that you can deliver a class in a concise manner, connecting with all students
