Bridge Studio at Art of Awareness is thrilled to partner with Mindy Miller Muse, E-RYT500, C-IAYT, LCSW of Yoga Muse School of Yoga to offer this 200-hour immersion program, registered with the Yoga Alliance.

This 200-hour Yoga Alliance approved course is an introduction to the immense exploration of yoga. This course is open to yoga students from any background who are interested in becoming a yoga teacher, as well as those who simply want to deepen their yoga practice and understanding. This comprehensive training will include an emphasis on safely addressing the needs of individuals and unique populations and will include trauma sensitivity, welcoming diversity and adapting yoga postures for all bodies including bigger bodies and seniors. While participants will be encouraged to develop their own teaching style, this training will have an empowerment approach, where teachers are encouraged to promote student choices and encouragement to adapt yoga postures to suit unique/individual needs.

During this training, you will be expected to develop a home yoga practice, as well as attend at least 3 additional yoga classes with Mindy (outside of the training dates and at no additional cost). You will also be required to attend 3 additional classes in the community in various styles of Yoga. If you have not taken classes with Mindy before applying to this training, you will be required to take 1 to 2 classes with her prior to acceptance into the program.
