You will be eligible to teach your practicum training at Sunstone Yoga studios. We're highly motivated to train excellent instructors in fitness yoga techniques, and we're looking for students who are equally motivated to become excellent yoga teachers. A majority of our graduates teach for us today. 
Because we want to train our own teachers, we keep tuition costs low to help out. Teaching better teachers is our goal.
Unique, proprietary teaching techniques will train you to teach with confidence and impact from day 1.
World class, in-depth course materials in anatomy, business, meditation, and all aspects of yoga will give you a solid foundation for a life in yoga.
