At some point, after taking enough public classes and workshops, something shifts.
Your practice isn’t just a class you take anymore. It’s something you’re inside of and consistently curious about. You've noticed that yoga has changed how you move, breathe, think, and relate to your life.
And eventually, the question comes: what if I go deeper?
THIS IS THAT.
Sama’s Yoga + Meditation Teacher Training isn’t just about learning how to teach.
It’s about immersing yourself.
Ten weeks. Two hundred hours.
A full-on dive into the practices and teachings that have already been quietly (or not so quietly) transforming your life.
INTERNAL + EXTERNAL PRACTICE (aka: the whole human experience)
Yes, you’ll learn how to teach.
But ALSO: You’ll learn how to sit with your mind. How to work with your breath. Where these practices come from—the history, the philosophy, the WHY behind it all.
This includes:
alignment-based, accessible asana
meditation that trains your mind (for real)
philosophy that gets applied to your life
a sequence you’ll know like the back of your hand (and actually use)
in-depth history to honor the rich past of these practices
pranayama and teachings on the subtle body to help you move inward
REPETITION = TRANSFORMATION
We don’t throw a million sequences at you and wish you luck. We go deep with one.
Over ten weeks, you’ll practice and teach a thoughtfully designed, well-rounded, accessible sequence that includes standing poses, folds, backbends, twists, all linked with breath, so that you can get to know each shape and its variation well.
You’ll feel the sequence change in your body. You’ll watch your confidence grow. You’ll know what you’re doing (wild, right?).
And you’ll leave with a solid, thorough understanding of a sequence you can teach anywhere (though you certainly don't have to). And a practice you can return to anytime.
MEDITATION (YES, YOU CAN TEACH THAT TOO)
This isn’t an asana training with a sprinkle of meditation.
You’ll receive extensive meditation training in shamata (aka Focus), the practice of calm abiding.
Translation: You’ll learn how to actually train attention. How to manage common obstacles on a meditator's path. AND how to guide others through that same process.
COMMUNITY (THE REAL SECRET INGREDIENT)
Here’s what people don’t always expect:
You come for the training and leave with a community.
You can expect:
deep conversations over shared meals
people who get it (like, really get it)
friendships that stick long after the 10 weeks end.
Sama has always been about practice in community, learning together, supporting each other, showing up fully. Teacher training amplifies that.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Aspiring teachers, yes.
But also:
people who want to deepen their practice
people who feel something changing and don’t want to ignore it
people who are curious, open, and willing to look inward
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
(Actually . . . better if you don’t.)
COME AS YOU ARE. LEAVE… DIFFERENT.
This training is designed as a container for:
INSIGHT. HEALING. TRANSFORMATION.
AND—IMPORTANT—ACCESS MATTERS
We’re a donation-based studio. Always have been.
Which means:
Scholarships are available. Because this work should be accessible. Period.
READY?
If something in you is like "yeah… this is it”
don’t overthink it.
Lean in.
(Your future students—and your future self—will be very glad you did.)
