Frequently Asked Questions
How will this training be different from others?
Have you ever taken a yoga class and walked away feeling so light and free without fully understanding why? Did that feeling linger with you for days after? Have you ever been curious about diving deeper into your physical practice, as well as the mental training that yoga provides? This training explains the why and the how of yoga. We break it down together- scientifically: psychologically within the mind and physiologically within the body.
The Yoga Equinox School is host to a new style of yoga. You will learn all the standard requirements for a 200-hour teacher training, plus learn the principles of vinyasa yoga, various meditation techniques, and when and how to use them in class. Throughout this training, we will study various texts, including the Yoga Sutras, to better understand the ‘more’ of yoga, and how to weave deep spiritual focus (aka: powerful themes for self-growth and personal reflection) into your class.
In short, you will learn why and how a consistent yoga practice changes lives; how to avoid ‘burn out’ as a teacher, connect with every student in every class, as well as what it takes to transform teaching yoga into your career. Whether or not you want to teach yoga after this training or you are taking training for your own personal growth and transformation- we use a power vinyasa flow, inspired by Baron Baptist, as our blueprint to practice and juggle all the other tools along the way.
You will be able to teach an empowering, elite-caliber yoga class after this training!

In this training you will learn to teach from your intuition and speak truth from your heart! This training will challenge all that you know and are still discovering about your Self. I will be there at the core of it all, pushing, encouraging, and motivating you to break through the edge of comfort. At some point you will want to quit, but then you will never want it to end!
Hey all! I know it's been awhile since you've seen me host a YTT. After having my daughter, I made a conscious decision to step back from the school and focus on instructing group classes & running day-to-day operations at YogaGyspy. Years later, I am ready to step deeper into leadership and guide you in your 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training!!! So congratulations on making it to this point!! I have found that once you have an itch to teach yoga (or at least take a training to learn more) that itch never goes away - until you take the leap and sign up from training!
Whether your passion lies in teaching and wanting to teach yoga classes, or if you simply want to dive deeper into your own practice -- this training is for everyone and anyone who craves more than just physical postures within their practice and day to day life. This training dives deeper into the yoga sutras, history, and detailed teachings of what it means to embody yoga on and off that mat. We use a set power yoga sequence, inspired by Baron Baptist, which trainees memorize and practice teaching as soon as the first weekend! This sequence is our blueprint on which we imprint modality for growth, progress, and facing our fears!
