Quoted from Rachele Malek, teacher-in-training, after the sixth weekend in the Inner Fire Yoga Teacher Training Program:
“This past weekend… goodness! It was kind of the ‘apex pose’ of Teacher Training. The five weekends before this opened us up, and after the next two weekends we will have the opportunity to take what we’ve learned off of our mats and into the real world. Lots of laughs, sweat, sweat, tears, and more sweat, but I just can’t get enough!!!”
The journey from yoga-student to yoga-teacher is a profound experience.

The Inner Fire Yoga Teacher Training program will impart the professional skills to teach yoga with inspiration and confidence. In addition, you will learn how Inner Fire Yoga’s mission and values led it to extraordinary success. The strength of this program comes from the intense focus given to practice teaching, as well as the variety of experienced and gifted yoga teachers who share their knowledge and gifts. .

At this point, the group will split into two, with one group learning how to sequence and teach an organically choreographed Power Flow class, and the other group learning how to teach Hot Yoga. All students will learn the fundamentals of Yin Yoga, including a basic sequence.
