Your path to transformation awaits!

At the Lighting the Path Teacher Training we believe that yoga is a powerful tool for change, and we are committed to using it to create a positive impact; both in our own community and beyond. We also believe that yoga should be available to everyone and that it’s important to do everything in our power to nurture an inclusive environment and dismantle oppressive structures in the wellness industry. 

The Inclusive Yoga Scholarship is inspired by our goal to provide a healing space for everybody and aims to break down financial barriers for people wanting to teach yoga and share yoga in underserved communities. Anyone who identifies as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or any other traditionally underrepresented person can apply. Recipients will receive between 25% to 50%discounts on our teacher trainings depending on need.

Our mission is to provide a healing space and that every yoga class can feel welcoming to every student - but not without change. Our community needs to keep evolving until every person who wants to practice yoga truly feels that they can.

Discover the transformative power of the Lighting the Path Yoga and Meditation Intensives.

With Pete Guinosso as your guide, these intensives offer you a chance to journey into a deeper connection with yourself—mind, body, and spirit. Pete, a seasoned yoga teacher and healer, combines physical postures, breathwork, and intention-setting to create a space where healing and self-discovery can truly unfold. His approach is gentle yet empowering, offering a path for personal growth that feels both grounded and expansive.

Throughout these intensives, you will explore Lighting the Path Yoga, a style that fosters strength, integrity, and healing from within. Pete’s teachings are infused with compassion and wisdom, gently encouraging you to move beyond limitations and open yourself up to new possibilities for growth.

Each session is designed with care to meet the needs of your body and mind. Through thoughtful sequencing and expert guidance, you will build physical strength, increase flexibility, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. You’ll also learn techniques for releasing tension and overcoming emotional blocks, helping you find more balance and peace in your everyday life.

Step onto your mat with curiosity and a willingness to explore what lies within. The Lighting the Path Morning Yoga Intensives offer an opportunity to connect with yourself in a meaningful way, and perhaps, to experience subtle shifts that ripple into every part of your life. These sessions invite you to meet yourself where you are, grow at your own pace, and feel supported on your journey toward healing and empowerment.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been practicing for years, these intensives are designed to meet you exactly where you are. It’s an invitation to awaken your senses, strengthen your body, and reconnect with your true self in a way that feels authentic and nourishing.
