Holistic Teacher Training
Transform your body, mind and emotions
Integrating the 8 limbs of yoga with sacred sound and psychotherapy principles
Yoga is a subtle science that works on the different facets of our human experience – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
The path of a yoga teacher training course is more than just learning how to teach a one hour yoga class, it is about embodying yoga and empowering others to heal and learn about the deeper dimensions of life. It is about strengthening and deepening your understanding of the yogic teachings, practices and culture to guide your students on their own path.
If you’re ready to:
- Open your mind to ancient teachings and authentic methods of yoga practice;
- Put in the work and step into the role of a student so you can be a better teacher; and
- Bring the practice of yoga back to its origins, discover contemporary applications of the inner sciences, and heal through connectedness…
This unique YTT is created to guide you on this journey.
What is the TRU Yoga approach?
The acronym TRU stands for The Resonance of Unity.
Yoga means union, and is both a path, practice and realization of Oneness. Through yoga we learn to create a harmonious resonance between body, mind and spirit, which brings about continuous insights into how life operates.
This approach to yoga is about making us aware about the subtle nature of reality – like moving through the layers of an onion to find out what lies underneath.
Through self-knowledge we gain, we heal ourselves and learn how to create the life we want while living in service to the whole.
Another billion people doing downward dog won’t create a revolution in society, but even if a portion of humanity begins a genuine yoga practice, the impact will be significant.
Become a great yoga teacher by learning to be a great student; understand the philosophy behind the practice of yoga

Why is it by application only?
This training is unique and it’s important to us that everyone participating is a good fit for this program.
I’ve already a certified teacher, is this still for me?
If you are already a certified yoga teacher, we still highly recommend this training. Most entry level YTT’s do not cover the depth and breadth of what we offer here. Transformative yoga practice requires a deeper understanding of yoga teachings and methods that are taught in most trainings.
If you are already a yoga teacher, please specify this in your application for an additional discount.
