Teach Yoga. Understand the Mind. Lead with Heart.
A yoga teacher training rooted in movement, mental health, and community healing.
At BRAVE, we believe yoga is more than the poses. It's an opportunity to better understand ourselves, build meaningful connections, and create spaces where people feel safe enough to show up as they are.
Led by experienced yoga educators and a licensed marriage and family therapist, our training blends yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, mindfulness, and mental-health-informed practices to help you grow both on and off the mat.
Whether you dream of teaching or simply feel called to deepen your own practice, there's space for you here.

Yoga is more than movement. It's a relationship with yourself.
At BRAVE, mental health isn't an afterthought in our curriculum. It informs how we approach movement, mindfulness, teaching, and the spaces we create for others.
Throughout your training, you'll explore:
The mind-body connection: Understand how breath, movement, and mindfulness can support well-being.
Trauma-informed teaching: Learn to foster choice, accessibility, and a sense of safety in your classes.
Inclusive community care: Practice meeting students with compassion while respecting individual needs and boundaries.
The teacher's own practice: Explore self-awareness, personal growth, and sustainable approaches to caring for yourself as you support others.
Our goal is to help you develop the skills to teach yoga with greater confidence, intention, and care.

Stories that Make Us Smile
-
I recently completed their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through Brave School of Yoga and learned a ton! It was a great balance of yoga philosophy and in-person teaching practice. We learned about yoga posture cues and how to teach a full class. I completed the training feeling more knowledgeable about yoga overall and confident in teaching.
