SPEAKEASY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
More info coming soon.
Discover new depths to your practice.
Graduate from a teacher training program that will empower you to feel confident and capable as a yoga practitioner and teacher, in class and in everyday life.
Intimate and interactive.
Broaden your perspective by spending time with a group of individuals who have also chosen to continue on their journey with yoga. As humans, we thrive on connection and building relationships, that is why we keep our teacher training limited to a small group of participants. We want you to have an experience where you feel heard, supported, and connected to your surroundings.
Lighthearted and fun.
We take this practice seriously all while creating an open, accepting, and approachable environment to learn. Our comprehensive program delivers yogic philosophy in a way that leaves you feeling confident to apply it off your mat. No matter what you encounter in life, a well rounded understanding of yoga as a complete system can support you on your everyday path.
Informative and practical.
We want you to walk away remembering the theories, methods, and various topics we cover, and this happens not just by reading and writing, but by DOING! So that's what we'll do. By spacing the training out over 10-12 weekends, not only will you have the attention you need, but the time you need to digest information, and have opportunities to dive deeper into topics that you feel like you need to explore further, too.
In addition...
Traditional philosophy with a modern twist. We have to take knowledge that is thousands of years old and figure out how it applies to the life we are living today. Deepen your yoga practice by exploring yoga philosophy, including the 8 limbs, the yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and more.
Our training will help you gain a solid foundation in basic anatomy and functional movement. Though the body is complex, you will learn how to break down information to make it accessible, yet still specific, and how to apply this effectively to your practice as well as your teaching.
Beyond skin, muscles, and bones, we’ll explore what doesn’t meet the eye with energetic anatomy, koshas, chakras, as well as meditation and pranayama practices to deepen your experience with yoga on and off the mat.
You will walk away with all the tools you need to hold space, feel comfortable, and be confident while instructing people of all levels. We do this by breaking down asanas (postures) one by one, learning assists, reviewing anatomy, practicing cueing, exploring how to sequence, and more.
More topics we will cover ground on include:
Mantra
Mudras
Restorative Yoga
Yin Yoga
Yoga Nidra
Prenatal Yoga
Ayurveda
Speakeasy will equip you with a binder and workbook with relevant texts and worksheets for training.

what people are saying...
“Absolutely everything was better than I could have ever expected. I got everything I was looking for and more. I grew so much as a person, my yoga practice is so much more personal, I’ve learned more about who I am... I also gained an incredible second family with so much love and support. The experiences, the knowledge, the community. The best. ”
“i had been thinking about doing teacher training for many years but once i became a part of the speakeasy community i began to feel a stronger desire to follow my dreams. i am so grateful that i decided to take a leap of faith and go for it full force because these past five months have been some of the most profound and magical times of my life. i’ve learned so much and grown so much as a human i can barely believe it. i am so grateful to have tori as a leader, and teacher through this time. she’s been such a pillar or support and guidance. i’m leaving this training feeling like i have been given all the tools and support I need to be the best yoga teacher i can possibly be. ”
