  • Comprehensive Curriculum | Personal Attention | Expert Teachers

The Karma Yoga Foundation, run by the former owners of Yoga on High, Marcia Miller and Michele Vinbury, has been graduating some of the best teachers in Ohio for over 21 years.

Our one-of-a-kind training allows students to tap into self-awareness while exploring what it means to have empathy, respect, and loving-kindness for self and others. Teacher Training students are invited to learn about trauma and healing; social justice and inclusivity; as well as rest and restoration. The foundation of the curriculum is rooted in the history and philosophy of yoga and is woven throughout each module.  

While alignment on the physical level is a key component of this training, priority will be given to sequencing the energetic states rather than the attainment of peak and physical poses. Emphasis will be placed on how to empower your students for safety, exploration, and curiosity. Intention will be placed on developing skills to authentically guide various populations through their expression of the practice.

This training is for you if:

  • You’re interested in a training geared towards a therapeutic and inclusive approach;
    You’re willing to look at personal and systemic patterns that create and feed systems of oppression;
    You’d like to appreciate rather than appropriate yogic practices;
    You have a sense of humor (or want to cultivate one!)

Our Yoga Teacher Training Programs have set the standard for excellence for over 20 years, offering embodied practices that help you meet the world today, while still deeply honoring the wisdom of yoga shared with us from India.

    I miss the community and the training opportunities at this "Studio". I feel that I received the BEST training not only in Ohio but in the country. I grew so much from the wide variety of teachers and styles of Yoga I was able to chose from to compete my certification. Long live Yoga on High, even if it's just in our hearts.

    This program was superb! The high quality and diversity of teachers made it stand out from other programs I had considered. Their mentorship, high educational standards as well as educational resources, continuous support and feedback were some of the best takeaways of my 200TT. I was lucky to be trained by an outstanding group of professionals. Each and all of them brought their unique background and teaching methodology to the table and had a great impact on my personal development as a yoga teacher.

    When I sat in the YOHI studio in July 2019 listing to Michele V., my soul was spiritually connected to her every word. I felt a sincere presence of joy, happiness, love, unity, and peace, and with tears in my eyes my heart felt the warm embrace of knowing with full certainly that I was on the path that I have been called to be on. My Holy Spirit was celebrating on the inside, and I had the most amazing calmness of knowing that I was home. I knew that I was right where I am supposed to be! I can honestly say that if I could financially walk away right now knowing that I would be sharing my yoga practice and spiritual gifts with others in a yoga studio or anywhere in the community where I can connect and help others, I would walk away from corporate America and any other job working for someone else’s brand right now and never look back.

    Attending yoga teacher training at this school was transformative for me. It took my practice and my concept of life into a completely different direction and enabled me to both break free of patterns of behaviour that were not supportive of the life I wanted to be living, and it also gave be a strong foundation to begin sharing those same modalities and ways of thinking with others.
