This program recognizes and respects that people come to yoga and to the teaching path from a vast array of backgrounds and with widely varying intentions and conditions. Yoga is neither a competitive not a comparative practice, but rather a practice of personal self-transformation. As such, this program welcomes all levels of students. While our focus is on making you the best teacher you can be, our process starts from where you are and supports you in taking your practice, skills, and knowledge to a deeper level. We strongly encourage you to have at least one year of regular yoga practice prior to entering the program. If you have any concerns about this, please discuss it with Mark.
