Tell Your Friends: Our 200-Hour Foundational Yoga Teacher Training Is Back
We are delighted to again offer a 200-hour foundational yoga teacher training (aka 200YTT) at Carrboro Yoga! Your lead teacher is the inspiring Alexandra DeSiato—a professional educator who is herself a graduate of this program. Click over to our 200YTT page to read all about it.
Let’s Grow Together
Because training as a yoga teacher is a lifelong practice, we offer ongoing continuing education beyond our foundational 200-hour yoga teacher training. Anyone can join these continuing education workshops, regardless of background or teaching experience.
You’ll help your students best when you nurture your own practice and hone your teaching in exactly the places you need it. Our continuing workshops help with both. Each also offers Yoga Alliance continuing education credits, aka YACEPs.
Study with Sage Rountree
Our co-owner and director of our continuing education yoga teacher trainings is Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT. Sage is an expert on yoga pedagogy and has long specialized in teaching yoga to athletes. Basketball Hall-of-Fame Coach Roy Williams was her private student for over a decade, until his retirement.
Teachers’ Intensive
Dive deep and learn how you can help your athletic students, as well as any population that is tight and tired, in Sage’s keystone teacher’s intensive.
Join us for Teaching Yoga to Athletes: A Five-Day Teachers’ Intensive, July 8–12, 2024. We meet 10 a.m–5 p.m. Monday through Friday of that week.
You’ll learn the philosophy, physiology, psychology, pedagogy, and profession of teaching yoga to athletes. And you’ll emerge excited to teach studio classes for tight and tired students, as well as to take yoga to team sports at every level.
We hold this workshop in the summer to accommodate traveling students—you’ll find both hotel and short-term rental rooms available in walking distance of the studio. We have had visitors from as far as Hong Kong and Sweden for this training!
