Who is This Training For?

If you're a yoga teacher... you!

This training is for all yoga teachers who feel ready to refine the language they use in class, to help their students feel guided with clear direction. We’ll break down a straightforward cueing formula, investigate linguistics, and get clear on what kind of environment you’d like to create for your students.

We’ll infuse studies of yoga philosophy and ethics and discuss how to add more than just Asana to your classes. 

Through study, discussion, and hands-on practice, you’ll explore how to teach with greater clarity and care. 


Washburn, Wisconsin

Washburn is a sweet, small town way up in Northern Wisconsin, nestled between local forests and the south shore of Lake Superior. One of the many things I love about our town is its natural beauty.

You could walk 10 minutes to the beach on your lunch break and take a dip in the cool, crystal clear water. 

If you are driving or flying in from out of town, there are several options for lodging in VRBO or Air BnB. If you’re looking to be closer to nature, we have several beautiful campgrounds up here on the peninsula. Please see recommendations below:
