Sound familiar?

Your yoga mat is your favorite place to be, and something in you keeps asking for more.

You've thought about taking a yoga teacher training for a while. Then you look at your practice and think, I'm not ready yet. Here's the advice I needed to hear when I was in your shoes: you don't have to be ready. YTT gets you ready.

I don't want you to keep waiting on this dream and wake up years from now still wondering, what if I'd just gone for it?

12

Students, max

Every bit of feedback comes from me, not an assistant. I keep this group intimate on purpose, so you're truly seen and supported the way you deserve.

Day 1

You start practice teaching

You practice teach every day of this training, so by Day 28 you teach a full 60-minute class with confidence, ready to step out as an empowered yoga teacher.

Why

Not scripts

Applied anatomy from a kinesiologist, so you feel the difference in your own body first, then know exactly how to support your future students.

28

Days, fully immersed

Life on pause, so all your energy goes into practicing, learning and living yoga. You know that feeling when your eyes flutter open at the end of practice and you're glowing from the inside out? In 28 days of immersion, that becomes your baseline.

Your teacher

Hi, I'm Maddy

When I wanted to do my first teacher training, I was tight like the Tin Man. I wasn't strong, I wasn't flexible and my mind was all over the place. My teacher told me, "You don't have to be ready. YTT gets you ready." She was right, and now I get to hold that space for you.
