The cornerstone of our training is to make yoga available to all by offering approachable, inclusive classes. The training is arranged in snippets for ease of learning. Many teachers find that transitioning from one pose to the next is the most challenging component of instruction. By providing training in segments of three (snippets) much of the work is done for the instructor. This approach is the hallmark of our training program. It provides interchangeable snippets so that the instructor is not so dependent on class plans. We believe this makes for a more versatile instructor that can respond to the group class element with ease.  

 

The Edge Yoga Teacher Training Program is committed to providing you a comprehensive knowledge base of yoga asanas (poses.) These asanas can be taught in an array of formats from the stillness of Hatha Yoga to the seamless flow of Vinyasa Yoga. The poses remain the same, while the pace and order of the snippets are decided by the instructor. We focus on a Western style of yoga that aims to improve the physical health of the body while stilling the mind. 

 

It is said that the best instructors remain students throughout life. We look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.

    The Edge Yoga community is wonderful and Michelle has created a fantastic environment for learning and growing. It is a welcoming and warm group and that makes all of the difference when you're building confidence as a yoga teacher. Michelle offers a lot of special events and provides opportunities to her students to be part of and participate in these activities. No matter where your interests lies within yoga, Michelle will guide you and give you the building blocks you need to succeed and move toward your goals as a yoga teacher. I cannot recommend Edge more! It's a great experience and I am so glad that I completed my 200 and 300 hr program through Edge.

    Attending Edge was an extraordinary journey that I will cherish forever. From the moment I stepped into the serene studio, I was greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging. The experienced and knowledgeable instructors guided us through a comprehensive curriculum that provided a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, asanas, and teaching methodologies. The training was thoughtfully designed, balancing theory with ample practical sessions that allowed us to refine our own practice while honing our teaching skills. The supportive community of fellow trainees fostered a sense of camaraderie, and we formed lifelong connections. The school's emphasis on individualized attention and personal growth ensured that we received personalized guidance throughout the program. Overall, my experience at Edge was transformative, equipping me not just with the tools to become a competent yoga teacher, but also with a deeper understanding of myself. I am incredibly grateful for the beautiful journey that I embarked on and would highly recommend this school to anyone aspiring to become a yoga teacher.

    I could not have been happier with my Yoga Teacher Training at The Yoga Connection through the Edge Yoga Studio! I had a great experience in classes and walked away feeling prepared to teach yoga upon completion of the course. Jess and Dan gave me the knowledge, experience, encouragement, and support to grow in my yoga practice.
