Metta Yoga Teacher Training

Accessibility is our core value. Metta instructors offer simple and intelligent  techniques with accessibility at the forefront of our classes.

The Metta Yoga 200 hour Teacher Training Program is geared towards anyone who would like to deepen their personal yoga practice, harvest greater self-awareness, learn the art of effective, concise and powerful teaching, as well as diving into Yoga History and Philosophy.

The groundwork we complete at this training will provide experiential growth for teachers to emerge as dedicated students for their life and their teachings on and off the mat.

This teacher training invites each student’s unique voice, strengths and experiences to foster their growth to becoming authentic yoga teachers.

The key ingredient to setting our Metta graduating teachers up for success is built around the evolution of the Metta Yoga sequences. 

The Metta Yoga 200 hour teacher training emphasizes a foundational yoga practice based in alignment and anatomy, linking yoga principles and philosophies.  

You will walk away with the ability to teach smart yoga sequences with a strong foundation in teaching methodology, anatomy and alignment.  In addition to the physical aspects of yoga, you will learn trauma informed teaching, yoga philosophy, yoga history, meditation, chanting and pranayama. 

ASANA

Daily Practice & Meditation – Our 200 hour intensive training includes a balance of daily asana practice and meditation.

If this is your first time meditating don’t be intimidated! This is an introduction to meditation, a great way to unplug and connect to yourself.

The intensity of a daily practice will help your mind and body gather all the information of this training on and off your mat. Your practice is an extension of your teaching.

Practice Teaching

This is your chance to share your voice. During this training, you will have ample opportunity to teach a sequence of poses to fellow trainees in order to gain experience standing in the “instructor role”.  

Coaching is provided throughout the course to emphasize the confidence you will gain and provide the support required to continue your journey after this training.

The Metta 200 hour teacher training provides an environment for you to lead a strong, safe and accessible yoga class. 

Yoga History & Philosophy

Yoga postures are just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more to discover and learn in your yoga practice, which we will explore during this training through the subjects of yoga history, philosophy and more.
