FLEXIBLE TRAINING FORMATS
Train at your Own Pace - With our beloved rolling admission/rolling graduation option students can attend trainings (online and/or in-person) and accumulate the hours required for graduation over time. Every YTT manual comes with a sheet which can be used for recording hours spent training with our program and instructors. We encourage you to think of training as an accumulation of hours over time rather than a specific set of knowledge. This format works best for students looking to study one weekend at a time, a few evenings a week or even weekly a few times a year!

Virtual YTT modules are available 24/7 on-demand; including recorded class plus journaling, writing, reading, creating, discussion, etc. We use a combination of photo/video sharing and writing assignments to keep content interactive with 1:1 feedback from your trainers and peers. Students already enrolled in our training may choose to “drop-in” to LIVE online sessions via Zoom as well.

Any of the regular classes, workshops and retreats offered by our YTT trainers are eligible for training contact hours, and additional payment is usually required as there is limited space available for these events and they are not YTT specific. Ask about YTT discounts!

- CURRICULUM - The content of our training falls into the 5 categories of study framed by Yoga Alliance, Click Categories Below:
-
Styles are founded in the Ashtanga and Vinyasa lineages, with an intention to introduce complimentary styles like Yin, Restorative, Kids Yoga + many different meditation practices including mantra + pranayama. These hours are spent practicing yoga; asana, pranayama, mudra, mantra and more.
-
Studying the human anatomy on a physical, mental and spiritual level. From the anatomical systems of the body, to maps of prana running along our nervous system and the mind/brain connection, topics here are currently relevant and always evolving as Western + Eastern sciences start to work more closely side by side.
-
The history of yoga is rich and deep. While there is still much we don’t know, what we do know is incredibly valuable and important to being successful teachers of yoga. These hours are spent discussing the Yama + Niyama, historical context, classical texts/philosophies, cultural appropriation vs appreciation and meaningful mindsets.
-
In the name “yoga teacher training” this is where we break down safety, lesson planning, business, marketing, client relations, standards of practice and much, much more. You’ll leave the Rise + Vibe training with resources and knowledge moving into the modern yoga world, and these skills are valuable to all people, even if you don’t plan to pursue yoga teaching professionally.
-
Every person comes to YTT for a different reason. This part of your training is personal and unique, time spent journaling, taking other classes, reading on your own and preparing for your graduation. Why are you here? Both in YTT + the world? How is yoga relevant to you? Each student will be expected to start graduation prep about half-way through their training and we’ll discuss the together! *Talk to Chrissy if you have any questions.
