Become a Certified Yoga Teacher in Spring 2027
A Letter from Jill
Our yoga teacher training isn’t just about becoming a teacher. It’s about falling in love with your soul.
When I first stepped onto a yoga mat two decades ago, I was there for the physical practice.
I loved the stretch. The challenge of moving in ways I never had before. The sense of calm I felt after class. I even began teaching before completing my yoga teacher training, believing that was what yoga was all about.
Then I immersed myself.
Somewhere between the daily practices, the philosophy, the conversations, and the quiet moments in between, something shifted. Yoga began reflecting back the parts of myself I hadn’t fully seen. It invited me into a more honest relationship with myself, one that continues to unfold today.
Since then, my path has expanded through Tantra, Ayurveda, Reiki, and years of continued study – and, tbh, just staying in it even when I didn’t “feel” like it. None of these practices asked me to become someone different. Instead, they helped me become more compassionate, more present, and more connected to the love that already existed beneath the surface. Not perfectly, of course. In the most human way possible, through mistakes, heartbreak, lessons, and beginning again, and again.
That’s why we created Mahasana.
Yes, you’ll learn how to teach a strong, intelligent {kick-ass or gentle} yoga class. You’ll learn anatomy, sequencing, philosophy, and the confidence to guide others. But I know you’ll also lean into something about yourself that feels a little more potent than it did before. Yoga has a remarkable way of deepening how you experience love. For yourself. For others. For life itself.
May this training guide you closer to the deeper layer of you. So that you may experience this life more fully and radiantly.
What if 2027 became a threshold?
Perhaps the question isn’t whether you’re ready {or even “need”} a yoga teacher training. Perhaps the question is, what are you ready to step into?
Some of the most meaningful transformations happen when we choose to cross a threshold together and allow the experience to become the medicine of your soul.
Mahasana may be the right next step if you…
You’re tired of living on autopilot
You’re standing at the edge of a new chapter.
You want to trust yourself more deeply.
You’re craving real connection.
You’re ready to live with more intention.
I know there’s another way I want to live.

Why Mahasana Yoga School?
The Mahasana Yoga Teacher Training is for the heart centered yogi who is ready to live fully and help bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern life..
We blend vinyasa-based practice with the ancient teachings of the eight limbs, Tantra inspired philosophy, feminine form Ayurveda, and subtle energy medicine. This training teaches you how to guide a class and how to meet your life with more presence, clarity, and trust. Whether you join us in person or virtually, you’ll become part of an intimate cohort where you’ll be seen, supported, challenged, and encouraged every step of the way.
What you will leave with:
The confidence to teach.
Learn to confidently sequence, cue, modify, and lead yoga classes that are safe, thoughtful, and authentic.
A practice you can return to.
Build sustainable rituals and practices that continue supporting you long after graduation.
Wisdom beyond the poses.
Explore yoga philosophy, Tantra inspired teachings, foundational Ayurveda, and subtle energy practices that enrich both your life and your teaching.
A deeper trust in yourself.
Develop the confidence to teach from your own experience rather than trying to imitate someone else’s voice.
A supportive community.
Graduate alongside a group of friends who will continue cheering you on long after the training ends (yes, even virtually).
A clear look at what we cover
Every module is intentionally designed to help you become both a confident yoga teacher and a more embodied practitioner. You’ll graduate with practical teaching skills, timeless wisdom, and practices that continue supporting you long after the training ends.
Technique, Training, Practice
Learn how to confidently guide classes that are intelligent, safe, and inspiring.
You’ll explore sequencing, intelligent cueing, hands on adjustments, modifications, breathwork, meditation, subtle energy, and the art of creating classes with purpose. From foundational postures to arm balances, inversions, restorative yoga, and a profound exploration of savasana, you’ll learn how to meet students exactly where they are.
75 hours
Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy becomes approachable, practical, and immediately applicable.
Rather than memorizing muscles, you’ll learn how bodies actually move, how to recognize common movement patterns, safely adapt poses, understand contraindications, and confidently support students of different abilities and life stages. This year’s training also includes expanded live anatomy instruction with guest educator Kip Beckwith, making anatomy more interactive {and fun} than ever before.
30 hours
Yoga Humanities
Yoga is so much more than movement.
Explore the Yoga Sutras, Tantra inspired philosophy, Sanskrit, ethics, chanting, meditation, and the rich history of the yogic tradition. These teachings invite meaningful self reflection while offering timeless wisdom you can integrate into both your teaching and your everyday life.
30 hours
Professional Essentials
Teaching isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about presence.
Develop confidence through regular practice teaching, personalized feedback, mentorship, and real world teaching opportunities. You’ll also learn the foundations of building a sustainable yoga career, including marketing, business basics, and creating authentic offerings that reflect your unique voice.
50 hours
Bonus Material

Here is what I know.
You are not on this page by accident.
If your mind is making a list of all the reasons you should wait, I understand. I love a good pros and cons list, too.
And also, if your heart keeps leaning forward… pay attention to that. Growth rarely arrives when everything feels certain. Nervousness and excitement feel wildly similar, so if you are feeling either, you are welcome here.
