Teacher Training

An Li Liu "This training has allowed me to deepen my practice in a very profound way through its comprehensive integration of philosophy, psychology, anatomy, alignment, asana, and svadhyaya (self-study). Studying yoga from a mind-body perspective acknowledges the interdependence of these two aspects of our being, and the empowering nature of this practice. Bo expertly synthesizes many of the necessary components essential for a most rigorous and thorough yoga teacher training program."

An Li Liu, RYT200

"The Elemental Yoga Mind Body teacher training has truly given me a new perspective on yoga. When seeking a yoga teacher training program I was looking for one that would not only prepare me for teaching but also deepen my experience with my own practice. The Elemental Yoga Mind body teacher training with Bo went above and beyond my expectations. It's truly rewarding to witness such personal growth not just as a new teacher but also as a practitioner. The training cultivates a strong practice of self study, yoga therapeutics and the Elemental Yoga philosophy. Bo's training is comprehensive, extremely thoughtful, and hugely transformative. "

"The Elemental Yoga Mind-Body Teacher Training has been a truly transformative experience for me. My original goal was to get certified as a yoga instructor, but the yearlong training gave me so much more. Bo Forbes is an expert; she is a uniquely insightful yoga instructor and brings her extensive knowledge of the mind and the body to the entire training. The guest lecturers chosen to supplement Bo's inspiring teaching during the weeklong intensive and throughout the year reflect Bo's high standards and bring their own engaging teachings on alignment, anatomy and yoga philosophy. The breadth and depth of the training will give you more than you need to begin your journey as a yoga instructor. If you wish to deepen your yoga practice among like minded souls or learn to teach an exceptionally powerful style of yoga, then this training is for you."
