New Love City is excited to announce our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training for 2024! Join Conor Alexander, Bethany Leigh, Keela Williams, Edie Shipler, Lulu Soni, Manzell Glover and very special guests in a teacher training program that fosters connection to a vibrant and joyful community in the heart of Greenpoint. In addition to learning how to teach asana, meditation, and pranayama, students will be encouraged to pursue their curiosity as they discover who they are as a teacher. We will co-create a nurturing and supportive container to support each other’s growth as yogis.

Training will take place over 12 weeks starting in the beginning of September and will cover the following topics:

Anatomy, assists, sequencing, practice teaching, use of props, history of Yoga—cultural/theoretical, philosophy, meditation, pranayama, creating the container of a class, injuries/compensations, pre/post natal, trauma-informed yoga, how to teach a workshop, establishing a voice, the business and etiquette of teaching and studio ownership, awareness of appropriation, ethics and more.

Trainees should have at least one year of regular practice and complete our questionnaire.

*Yin Yoga is an ancient movement art developed to integrate meditation with slow movements allowing for strength and vitality in the entire body-mind system. Working specifically with the body's main 12 meridians and its most key organs, the aim is to clear the path from the inside out—allowing for optimal flow of all systems. Through this slower style of longer holds, time and gravity and one's intuitive wisdom create a practice that has proven to be both healing and rejuvenating.
