Square One Yoga is a mission-driven business, committed to making yoga completely accessible to the entire community. We were open with in-person locations in the Bay Area for 15 years and now offer teacher training, workshops, and retreat online.

About our Yoga Teacher Training Program:

The faculty of our program is committed to putting the person in front of us first. That means that the curriculum and methodoly that is taugh and modeled is designed to be completely accessible and inviting to a broad range of students. Accessibility has a lot to do with how we teach poses, of course. But we take accessibility to a deeper and more subtle level: how are the teachings inviting, not just to a wide range of bodies, but to a wide range of human beings with all our complexities, psyches, and emotional constitutions? In other words, yes, let’s teach poses in a way that invites people with all manner of physical abilities to practice, and let’s also make sure that the way we teach and the way we create spaces for yoga are inviting for people emotionally as well.  

​

We understand that accessibility means safety. If we do not feel emotionally and physically safe in a space, it is actually not accessible to us. Our job as a yoga school is to create an environment that is accessible because it is a safe place for students to bring their entire selves. That means our classes and our programs strive to be body positive, trauma-informed, socially aware, and respectful of the culture that brought us this practice.
