Teacher Training Overview

You love your regular yoga practice, you feel the benefits in your daily life, and you are starting to wonder if you might be ready to share your passion. But there are so many different teacher training programs out there, so how do you decide which one to attend?

With all of the physical practice, the study, the anatomy, and the philosophy that go into a training program, it all comes down to one single question: will I be ready to teach yoga when I am finished with these 200 hours?

At Urban Lily Yoga, the answer to that question is definitively “yes.” This the place to learn how to truly teach. Over the course of the training, you will learn the fullest expression of every asana, read and integrate yogic philosophy into each day, and hear your own voice as that of a yoga teacher. It may be difficult to imagine now, but by the time you are finished with the training, you will have the confidence to carry an entire class. You will know how to keep your students safe while challenging them to reach past their own personal edge of transformation.

In addition to the practical experience of teaching, you will also benefit from the depth of information provided on meditation, pranayama, anatomy and physiology, pre- and post-natal yoga, yoga for children, the ancient science of Ayurveda, yoga for stress relief, and other therapies that blend seamlessly into the practice you wish to share with the world.

If you are the trainee who just wants to take your personal practice to the next level, Urban Lily Yoga is your spot. Small group sizes in this independent studio allow for a whole lot of personal attention. Your lead teacher, Elinore Cohen, and her fellow teacher trainers, will help you refine your practice and open your heart to depths you never imagined possible.
