Your Journey to AUTHENTICITY BEGINS here!

If you are reading this page, chances are that you’ve discovered that there just might be a lot more to this yoga stuff than the classes that you attend. Perhaps you find yourself telling anybody who will listen how great class was and what you did and learned and they are saying, “You should be a yoga teacher”. Perhaps it is something more quiet; a feeling that your yoga practice has filled a hole and something wonderful is growing. Both of these were my experiences. Yoga completely altered my life, and the evolution continues every day. Whether or not your goal is to become a teacher, our training will be life changing in ways you never imagined.

You will gain the tools to be your best, most authentic self; to unapologetically attract abundance; to navigate outside of your comfort zone in a calm, unflinching manner, spending longer and longer at your edge, where huge growth occurs; to be less reactive and cultivate neutral observation of triggering situations. These tools will allow you to be an effective teacher, and a successful citizen of the world.

Our program is accessible to all, no matter your preferred style of yoga, whether Gentle or Power Vinyasa, or anything in between. When we practice as a group, you may choose a more rigorous class in the Hot Studio, or a more gentle class in the Ganesha  (non-heated) Studio.

Mark Your Calendars!

If you have questions, we are here to answer them…we can’t wait for you to join our family!

OUR graduate testimonials

“Finding and practicing yoga changed me and my life in a way that was a complete surprise. Teacher Training has taken that paradigm shift and turned it into a permanent, irrevocable imprint on my being. It has planted seeds of growth in me that I am incredibly excited to nourish and see what grows. I will forever remember this experience with deep gratitude. ~Sarah, 2024 grad

“The Yoga Bliss 200 hr teacher training was not what I was expecting. It surpassed all of my expectations and completely changed my life forever. It came at the perfect time. I especially loved how we had the guest teachers teach us their passions! It was amazing seeing the passion in everyones eyes and it truly made me feel connected to the community. I came into this program feeling alone and a bit burnt out from life, now I am leaving with a new family and a fired inside my belly. TAPAS ALL DAY!” ~Sabrina

"Caroline is amazing. Super accessible, super nice and friendly. I also liked how prompt, to the point, and educative she was. She is "mamma bear" of the group and always will be. Love her."

“This teaching experience would not be the same without Caroline. She teaches what she loves and in return creates a safe environment for her students to love what she teaches and want to learn more. I can truly say this was the highlight of my week. I enjoyed coming to every class. I can't say the same about attending any other schooling in my history. But this was so life changing, nourishing and leaving me wanting to continue with more.”

Amy Boswell Yoga Teacher Training Scholarship

We lost Amy to cancer on January 1, 2023, but I can’t help feeling like she’s smiling down on us, proud of the program that she started, and so happy that we are able to offer financial assistance for this valuable and life-changing program.
