Who It's For

For teachers,
future teachers,
and serious students

SWEAT Yoga School is perfect for students who want to be teachers, teachers who want to refine their understanding of poses, anatomy, and yogic philosophy, and practitioners who want to enrich their practice and immerse themselves in the world of yoga.

We invite you to immerse yourself in your practice while learning the essential tools to move forward as both a student and a teacher. We've gathered the core of our SWEAT faculty to build this thorough curriculum. Based on hands-on, interactive, multi-modality learning, these programs give you the confidence and knowledge to step into the role of teacher, plus a much more expansive understanding of what yoga encompasses and how to apply it to everyday living.

You'll leave with a hefty toolkit that enhances every aspect of a healthier, more balanced life.
