This is a Yoga Teacher Training, but it is so much more.
Rooted & Radiant is a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training designed as a slow, seasonal, life-integrated journey.
Over 10 months, yoga becomes something you don’t just practice or teach. It becomes something you live. This training is for those who want to become certified yoga teachers and experience deep, sustainable transformation in their health, habits, and relationship with their body.
WHY THIS TRAINING IS DIFFERENT
Most Yoga Teacher Trainings are intense, condensed, and disconnected from real life.
This program was created as an alternative.
As it unfolds over 10 months, this allows yoga to integrate naturally into your life through your:
~ Body
~ Daily routines
~ Nervous system
~ Relationship with food, rest, and movement
~ Connection to nature and seasonal rhythm.
Rather than pushing for rapid change, we work with your life, meeting you exactly where you are, and allowing growth to happen gradually, sustainably, and deeply.

~ Teach from a place of grounded presence

A Journey of Remembering Who You Are
When we feel the call to move into a personal healing journey and to connect with our True Self and Soul, the yogic, energy, and nature paths strengthen us, expanding our consciousness, increasing awareness, deepening our wisdom, and creating balance for health, vitality, abundance, and joy to flow easily through our lives.
This is YOUR call to that personal healing journey.
Your journey back to balance.
While deepening your personal practice, this program will give you the techniques to teach both yoga and nature studies. Instilling the foundations to begin a teaching career that ignites passion, connection, and powerful self-awareness, our training is designed to encourage your teaching voice and experience true inner transformation. While this curriculum meets and far exceeds the standards for a Yoga Alliance Registration, we go way beyond into emphasizing the connection between your yoga practice with the natural world in and around us, encouraging our trainees to explore and incorporate energetic and nature studies into their practice and teachings.
Again, our program goes above and beyond the Yoga Alliance expectations for a whole integrated experience of foundational and fundamental yoga studies. Upon completion of the program, you will be eligible for registration with Yoga Alliance and GOYA.

Testimonials
“Whatever your individual motivations are for seeking a 200hr certification you will find a deep wealth of knowledge, experience and excitement for yoga with Erin at Weaving Roots. Yoga is a personal practice that we all tend to do in groups; studying to be a yoga teacher with Erin had this same feeling. This is a supportive and welcoming studio where we had great lessons, group discussions and Asana practice. We were also encouraged to take time to ourselves (whether walking through their forest or practicing at home) and approach the program from our personal perspective, connecting our own beliefs and experiences with our study of yoga both during the program and moving forward after graduating.” ~ Paul Y.
"I found Weaving Roots’ 200 Hr YTT certificate program to be fulfilling and Erin to be incredibly informative. I received a well rounded training that has enhanced and furthered my own personal yoga practice. Following the program, I feel well prepared to teach asana, pranayama, and meditation sequences along with a solid background in yoga’s core principles, its Vedic historical roots, and relevance today." ~ Amanda Y.
"I had the pleasure of taking Erin's Yoga Teacher Training class and I highly recommend as she is a teacher with passion and who walks the walk. Despite taking yoga for years, I was very uneducated in the actual teachings and practice of yoga. I came from a "physical" aspect so it was wonderful to learn the philosophy of yoga and to see an overall transformation to my own practice. I was able to develop a much deeper relationship with the practice and the philosophy that I strive to embody in my daily life. Erin, is a wonderful teacher and has so much passion for her yoga "craft", very supportive and compassionate, as I took this course during one of the hardest times of my life. Her compassion and support gave me the space and encouragement to complete the training, I could not be more thankful! I highly recommend her and when the time is right I will be pursuing my additional training with her." ~ Becky K.
