Happy Place

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Led by Jackie Anderson. Program highlights:

  • Advanced asana, assists, and energy-based alignment
  • Nervous system-based breathwork and trauma-sensitive sequencing
  • Sacred ritual, meditation, mantra and mysticism
  • Sound, breath, fascia, chakras, and the subtle body
  • Business of yoga, retreat planning, and embodied leadership

The training is built on a lineage of Hatha, Vinyasa and Bhakti Yoga, with contemporary somatic science, trauma-informed approaches and heart-centered philosophy. It is intentionally intimate, with a maximum ratio of 1 teacher to 10 students, so each trainee gets personal mentorship. You'll learn to sequence skillfully, cue with clarity and compassion, and hold inclusive, trauma-sensitive space, drawing on the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, anatomy and physiology, and the subtle body.
