I think Blue Heron is a wonderful place. The yoga teachers are enthusiastic and kind. It’s amazing how much I’ve learned in the last year.” — Nancy K.

Mission Statement:

Blue Heron Wellness’ program offers a balanced education providing students with the knowledge and technical skills required to lead transformational classes. Instruction is provided in a supportive, community-oriented environment by dedicated and experienced teachers. Upon completion, our students will have deepened their relationship with and understanding of yoga.

Program Overview:

Our yoga teacher training program promotes and preserves the ancient wisdom and traditions of yoga while honoring and cultivating the individual journey of the modern yoga teacher. The program encourages students to build their practice and use yoga to transform mind, body and spirit. The program provides a foundation in the following areas:

     · Yoga Philosophy

Blue Heron’s 13-week program also includes practice teaching, observations, assisting, required reading, tests and a community-service project. A minimum of one year of regular yoga practice is recommended but not required before beginning this program. Whether you are looking to deepen your practice or begin teaching yoga, Blue Heron’s program will transform and empower you.
