Here's what makes our program unique...
Any comprehensive teacher training explores philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, asana, and the history of yoga. The Blue Lotus 200-hour YTT goes beyond the foundational by offering depth, nuance, and a transformational experience that reaches far past the typical curriculum.
Beyond Learning to Teach
Through thoughtful dialogue, deep reflection, and real-life application, you will start to see yoga not as something you do, but as a way of being. Along the way, you will build lasting connections that extend far beyond the mat.
Expert Guidance, Personal Mentorship
Our program includes three Co-Lead Trainers — Kate Curry, Julie Nogueira, and Alicia Sweeney. Each hold the esteemed E-RYT 500 credential. This triad of leadership allows for more personalized attention, mentorship, and diverse perspectives throughout the training and beyond.
Learn From the Best
To enrich your experience, we've assembled a rotating team of respected Guest Faculty who bring fresh insight, real-world expertise, and a passion for elevating the next generation of yoga teachers.
Resources That Deepen Your Understanding
As a Blue Lotus trainee, you’ll receive two thoughtfully crafted manuals. One offers a deep dive into asana — including variations, alignment, and contraindications — while the other, authored by Guest Faculty Dr. Kristen Cooper, brings anatomy to life in the context of teaching and practicing yoga.
​
Recognized, Respected, Registered
