Why Is Our Yoga Teacher Training Unique?
We offer a 200+ hour Fundamental Yoga Teacher Training that is quite authentic. Our unique immersive experience offers a sustainable approach that is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in methodology, anatomy, yoga humanities, and professional essentials. Our exclusive combination of Yoga Teacher Training & Spiritual Ecology will invigorate your yoga practice and connect you with tools for living in harmony with Nature, for restoring balance to your health, and for sharing it all with your community.
Our training is both a Personal Healing Journey and a robust educational program that leads to a certification to teach others.
While deepening your personal practice, this program will give you the techniques to teach and 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 excedes the standards for a Yoga Alliance Registration, we go way beyond into emphasizing connection between your yoga practice with the natural world, encouraging our trainees to explore and incorporate 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.
Embark on a life changing journey with us into the vast garden buffet of Yoga, movement, biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, rich philosophy, Ayurveda, Sanskrit, Spiritual Ecology, nature studies & exploration, rhythms, holistic lifestyle, meditation, breath, community, and so much more.
Discover how daily habits can change our lives and how sustainable movement practices can radically shift our interaction with the world. By combining nature with Yogic wisdom and Ayurveda, we are given the tools to inspire change, confidence, and to awaken your true potential.
Completion of this program is an amazing accomplishment and the beginning of many new possibilities. The practice of yoga is a lifelong endeavor full of learning and realization at every turn. Here, you will find your voice and learn how to bring your unique point of view and gifts to the art of teaching others. You will also develop a strong working understanding of yoga alignment and movement for a safe and dynamic practice.
Program Overview
Our program is over 200 hours and is designed to share the practice in a meaningful way to bring light to Yoga in ways that inspire growth in body, mind, and spirit. You won't find our teachings trendy or typical as we approach our practice from what is revolutionary and sustainable. Our teachers and mentors are grounded in biomechanics and value building a sustainable practice through foundations and intelligent sequencing.

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.”

"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."
