About the academy & training

The training covers a variety of topics – from philosophy and body biomechanocs, to chanting and teaching methods and so much more!
You can expect an intensive course which can, at times, be demanding. You’ll experience the physicality of asana practice, thought-provoking lectures and in-depth workshops – all with an incredibly supportive community of teachers and students. These teacher trainings are a life-changing experience designed to help you leave with the skills of knowing how to tailor a personal practice for yourself and teach supportive life affirming group and private classes to others.
You will receive an official Heart & Focus Academy 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Certificate – accredited by Yoga Alliance.
We recommend interested students to have at least one year of experience with yoga and a regular practice. You are not required to have experience with teaching yoga (that’s what we will teach you;)
At Heart & Focus Academy we teach modern postural yoga (with roots in Hatha Yoga), philosophy which draws from Non-Dual Shiva Tantra as well as several major yogic texts, and the art of Bhakti. Upon completing the course you will be equipped with tools that will allow you to design vinyasa yoga classes with rich themes including storytelling, mantra, philosophy, and chanting.
Absolutely! The primary intention of the training is to help you solidify and deepen your practice.
