It’s time to share your light.

Do you want to learn more about yoga and why it’s such a powerful practice? Have you been thinking about doing a Yoga Teacher Training but not sure if it’s the “right” time? What I know for sure is that the world needs YOU to step up and follow your passion. The world needs YOUR VOICE & your light now, more than ever. What can come through you, must come through you and no one else. Whether you share your voice, your experience, and your story with your family and friends, through your work, or through teaching yoga doesn’t matter. What matters is that you share it. There’s someone out there who will need you in 5 years, in 10 years, and they are hoping beyond hope that you take this step so you will be ready for them.

Watch the video to learn more. What do you want for you?

Through our Mighty Teacher Training you’ll learn from some of the most experienced teachers in our community. You’ll graduate from our training with the skills and confidence to sequence and teach vinyasa yoga classes. Our Mighty Yoga Teacher Training will enrich and change your life.

Join Studio Director Heather Healey, E-RYT 500, senior instructors from the Mighty Yoga Teaching Team, and other dedicated experts on a journey to deepen your yoga practice and learn to teach through our 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training. This intensive training will provide the knowledge and experience to take your own practice to the next level (whether you’re interested in teaching or not!). 

  • "At Mighty, you feel like the most important person in the world when you walk in, every single time. Yoga Teacher Training was no different. The training was transformational in not only did it allow me to become a teacher, but also grow as a person while making new friends and building a stronger sense of community. The training provided me everything I needed to start teaching a yoga class the day of graduation. Overall I could not recommend Heather and the Mighty Yoga teacher training more."

    —Lindsey Cox

  • "I really enjoyed the range of knowledge that was shared with us: from anatomy to energy to deities, etc. It felt balanced and I feel I am well rounded to begin teaching yoga. My understanding of asana has grown a lot. My alignment is safer. I feel more confident and that being a yoga teacher as an actual reality is crazy but awesome."

    —Caleigh

  • "I came into the training thinking I would get “super good at yoga” and not sure what else. I spent the first few weekends feeling shaky, anxious, and like I was going to therapy/meditation summer camp. Gradually I started to notice that the “have to’s,” self judgments, and frustrations over striving for perfectionism were starting to get drowned out, muted, blurred by this new feeling that was completely foreign to me, self love? I started to ask myself what I needed at any given moment and, more surprisingly, I started to actually listen. I have found strength, patience, and a kindness toward myself that I am beyond grateful for."

    —Emeline S.

  • "It’s been so nice to connect through a shared learning experience with this group. I am so impressed with Heather and Wendy’s feedback. You strike a balance of being honest and supportive. I learned so much about alignment. Daily practice and meditation has become part of my routine which has allowed me to be more present and compassionate in my life."

    —Amanda

  • "I cannot rave enough about this training. The course, the teachers, the instruction, the everything was incredible. This training was more than just getting my teaching certification -- it helped me emotionally heal and reconnect with myself. I am beyond grateful to my teachers, Gina and Zainab, and the other members of the team (shoutout Heather and Chris!) for teaching me that there is much more to yoga (and life) than what we immediately perceive. This training has forever changed me for the better. Thank you so much Mighty!"

    —Cassondra Kelly

Throughout the training we will enhance our understanding of ancient yoga teachings and how they apply to our modern world via the study of yoga texts, expert guest teachers, and a variety of other sources.

Through these avenues, you will have the opportunity to delve into yoga philosophy in a way that will deepen and enhance your own yoga practice as well as your yoga teaching.  Be prepared to leave the training feeling empowered both on and off the mat.

This training will provide you with a solid foundation in pose alignment, creative sequencing, and finding your authentic voice as a teacher. You will learn not only how to teach a yoga class, but how to create a safe and powerful yoga experience for your students. With daily teaching practice and attention to developing the skills of an effective teacher, you will leave the training equipped with all of the tools you need to teach and to feel confident doing so.

The training will cover:

  • Smart, safe, creative, fun sequencing

  • Finding your unique teaching voice and style

  • Pose study & alignment

  • Yoga anatomy & physiology

  • Meditation & breathwork

  • Yoga history & philosophy

  • The Chakra system

  • Trauma-informed teaching

  • Business & ethics of teaching yoga

I am so happy you are here!

We have been running small-group teacher trainings since 2014, and have graduated over 140 teachers. It is my intention to lead our trainees to connect more authentically to themselves and their practice through this training. We create a powerful community while on this journey together.

I’ve been teaching yoga for 15 years (over 2,000 classes & 10,000 students!) and learn something new every time I step onto my mat or lead a class. There are so many beautiful and transformational aspects to this practice. There is nothing more powerful to me than leading a group of people who are moving and breathing (and often sweating!) together in a shared space - each with individual experiences on their mat.

I’ve completed 200-hr and 300-hr trainings, as well as completed over 120 additional training hours, including prenatal yoga, restorative yoga, yoga anatomy, and trauma-sensitive yoga.

Inclusion Scholarship

Since yoga’s journey from east to west, there has been an undeniable underrepresentation of BIPOC teachers and students in yoga spaces. At this time in our evolution, issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) are being addressed across a broad range of institutions and industries, and the yoga industry is in step with this movement. 

As part of our commitment to help diversify the yoga teacher community, and in turn, the yoga community overall, we are happy to offer partial scholarships to members of the BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ communities who are interested in becoming a certified yoga teacher, and have a strong desire to impact their community through sharing the practices of yoga.

We are thrilled to announce we have been able to award almost $6,000 in scholarship funds! We have limited scholarship funds remaining so if you are interested in participating in the training submit your Application today!

Additionally, if you live in Vermont we encourage you to check out Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) need-based scholarship opportunities.
