We truly believe that you will be the best teacher you can be when you learn not just how to teach postures and classes, but also learn to express yourself through your teaching.

Some people like strong classes, some gentle classes. It goes beyond that though. Regardless of the ‘intensity’ of your classes, you as a teacher express how you interpret yoga and its benefits to your students. You communicate to them how yoga affects you and how it opens you to the experience. That’s how you pass on what yoga is about. Yes, you want to know how to help people physically in the postures, how to verbally cue them, how to adjust, how to help people with specific needs, BUT with all that is your unique expression of teaching a class.

What is the point otherwise? Why let it be just one more thing you do based on how others tell you to do it? Your delivery and style are what draws people to your classes and that is what lets you continue expressing and teaching and growing. You find your own flow and then it starts to permeate other parts of you.

Find Your Voice Yoga Teacher Training

Created after years of practicing and teaching. I’ve been practicing yoga since 1998 and teaching since 1999, starting with hot yoga in Kansas City, MO. I absolutely loved it! I was hooked! Soon after starting, I added Ashtanga to my practice and now most frequently practice a Vinyasa style.

With a couple of other teachers, I opened my first studio in 2000 in Kansas City and during that same year created a website called YogaKC.com, which was a directory of studios in the Kansas City area. Since my family is what I call ‘corporate mobile’, we’ve made a few job-related moves (Denver, Dallas, and now Tampa) and that’s when I started Apollo Beach Yoga here in the Tampa area in 2009. Before our most recent move (this time, just across town, yay!), I sold the studio to another teacher who has kept it alive and well and growing even more!

I completed both my RYT 200 and 500 in Dallas, TX at Purple Lotus Yoga and also served as Assistant Director of Training for that program in 2008. Find Your Voice Yoga Teacher Training is a Yoga Alliance registered RYS 200 and has been training fabulous teachers since 2010.
