On Line Training (new teacher training): Far way, but want to train with us? This training runs on the same format as our in-person training, but on-line (via Zoom). Next session begins in September of 2023.
Living the Wisdom Yoga Training:
–Take your personal practice to the next level and live the wisdom.
–Become a 200 hour certified yoga teacher (we are a 200 hour registered yoga school through Yoga Alliance).
Teachers:
Your teachers include Charlotte of Trillium Ayurveda and Janet Bettey of Bit of Bliss Yoga of Cape Cod and Jennifer Peck of JenZenLiving.
This training progresses through three stages:
(First 3 months): These weekends will begin to expose you to the basic principles of yoga and Ayurveda, including movement, paths of yoga, limbs of yoga, philosophy, and texts of yoga. You will establish your own personal practices of asana, pranayama, mediation, and living the wisdom. This is the beginning of deepening your relationship to yoga on and off the mat.
(Second 3 months): These three weekends build on the first three, deepening your relationship to yoga and Ayurveda. You will explore how the body functions on both a subtle and gross level and begin to dig deeper into the layers of your own being with a focus on exploring your personal Dharma through yoga. These weekends take your personal practice to the next level.
(Final 2 months): These weekends take all you have learned, experienced, and explored in the first parts and teaches you to apply those principles to becoming “you” as a yoga teacher. We’ll dig even deeper into the body, communication, and ethics. We’ll explore what kind of yoga teacher you want to be and dive into the hows, whats, and whys of teaching. You’ll come out of this program with a deep personal practice and the confidence to share your wisdom with others.

Please ask us about a payment plan for the program. Charlotte’s secret for dreaming (and traveling): The Funds. Put aside a little bit of money each week for what you really want. Put it into the budget as if it is a monthly or weekly bill. Skip that splurge on a cup of coffee from the coffee shop. Skip that easy grab a meal on the go. Save the change that accumulates in the bottom of your purse or pocket. Put that money aside. A little bit of money adds up faster than you think, if you don’t tap into it for other things. It’s an investment in living!!!
A limited number of small scholarships may be available. Please contact us if you would like more information and to apply.

CURRENT FAVORITE TESTIMONIALS:
“Thank you for such a magical journey.” –J.T.
“This program embodied the essence of yoga and Ayurveda: balance, integrity, self-reflection, compassion, and healing. Learning was a pleasure. There was no pressure, no competition, and never so much as a whiff of impatience or self importance from our teachers. They modeled humility and gratitude for the teachers who came before them. They impressed on us the gift of lineage and the responsibility to pass it forward as we begin our own teaching journeys.” –H.B.
