About the Program
We are so excited share our training content for Yojita Yoga below. Yojita means connected in Sanskrit (amongst other meanings). Our intention is for transformation, self-realization, and connection through self-study and community.
Yojita Yoga Teacher Training Program will take place over 12 months to allow for integration and cohort bonding. It layers & builds in alignment with numerous yogic philosophies over an extended amount of time to leave practitioners with the confidence to teach postures, sequences, pranayama & meditation techniques should they choose to teach, or deepen their personal practice with alignment, self-reflection, ritual, and supportive study.
We bring 45 combined years of teaching experience and have much lived experience to share. We can promise passion, kindness, enthusiasm, and deep love of yogic wisdom.

Our next 230-hour teacher training cohort begins January 10th 2026
We will meet in person in St. Paul one Saturday per month for five hours and two Tuesday evenings per month for three hours. For the Tuesdays we don’t meet in person, there will be a mix of live zoom sessions, recorded lectures and practices. July is off for summer break. Your training will be supplemented with inspired & informative readings, as well as exploring classes in your region and sharing monthly observations/reflections on the provided theme.
To meet Yoga Alliance certification standards, your presence, whether in person or virtually is requested for the majority of the following dates, with some home study as needed. Make up sessions will be discussed as they arise.
