Total Transformation

The Sacred Fig 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training is a highly-intensive program designed to educate &amp; inspire the next generation of world-class yoga leaders. &nbsp;We firmly believe that the strongest attribute any yoga teacher possesses is themselves. &nbsp;And so we emphasize things like personal development, confidence, and speech (and we’ll bust some myths about alignment, too).&nbsp; Our rigorous program is approved by the Yoga Alliance, but it’s so much more than that. &nbsp;In fact, it’s one of the most comprehensive available today. &nbsp;Our teacher trainings attract students of all levels, from literally all around the globe. The Sacred Fig Yoga Teacher Trainings produce confident, knowledgeable, articulate, and empowered yoga teachers. &nbsp;Period.At the core of the The Sacred Fig philosophy is a profound sense of connection. &nbsp;Not only do our thoughts affect us in tangible ways, but we also have the extraordinary capacity to affect those around us, and the environment we live in. &nbsp;And so as yoga practitioners and teachers, we strive for the extraordinary, so that we may serve as a beacon of possibility for those around us. &nbsp;We see the divine in everything around us, but we also know that it lies within us. &nbsp;So before trying to shape &amp; control everything outside of us, we first look deep within, and do the work ourselves.We don’t provide answers (and we’re&nbsp;wary of any teacher or school who claims that they do).&nbsp; Instead, we welcome &amp; provide different viewpoints, we stir lively discourse. &nbsp;We set the circumstances to challenge notions&nbsp;about what yoga is, what it might feel like or look like, and why we practice. &nbsp;We create an&nbsp;accelerated learning environment, where trainees gain the confidence to discover their own “truths” about yoga, about their bodies and their practice. &nbsp;There’s no memorization, no mimicry, and no script. &nbsp;From this place, trainees find their authentic voice… sharing their knowledge &amp; their practice naturally.

When our presence as teachers inspires trust &amp; respect, students feel comfortable in their vulnerability as they navigate their own journey.

300 hour Yoga Teacher Training

We believe the strongest thing any yoga teacher brings into the room is themselves. So alongside a rigorous, Yoga Alliance–certified curriculum, we put real weight on personal development, confidence, and how you speak. We also take a critical look at alignment, separating what’s useful and evidence-based, from what’s simply inherited from past lineages.We don’t hand out answers, and we’re wary of any school that claims to. Instead we bring in different viewpoints, stir lively discussion, and challenge assumptions about what yoga is, what it looks like, and why we practice. In an accelerated learning environment, you’ll discover your own understanding of yoga, your body and your practice. and learn to share it naturally.Trainees come from all levels, and from all over the world. They leave as confident, knowledgeable, articulate teachers.<a href=" https://youtu.be/79sYms0Wk_0 " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here's a 40 second video</a> we filmed at our Bali 200hr, which articulates our approach and culture. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1DwPFk6l4M">This 2 minute video </a>was filmed during a Bali 200hr and its more of a general overview of trainings.★★★★★ 5.0 from 138 Google Reviews · <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Sacred+Fig/@46.423669,-129.9427085,3z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c25a29e65fa60b:0x343c9ad0ed3a132b!8m2!3d46.423669!4d-129.9427086!16s%2Fg%2F11cs4g6c96?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MTAyMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read them here</a>&nbsp;
