The 50 hour intensive is the foundation of MOTA’s teacher training. This is a training for all students and teachers of yoga to cultivate the ability to tune into their bodies, express agency and feel empowered to engage in the practice of yoga in community. During this training we will uncover the innate tools you have within yourself to find options that feel accessible to you, learn about functional anatomy and yoga theory, navigating safe and inclusive yoga spaces and how to nurture a home practice. This training is a space to dive deeper as a student of yoga and begin to articulate how you would like to show up as a leader in wellness spaces.

This training is held from February to June every year. Registration for the next 50 hour opens this fall.

The 100 hour training weaves together the foundations from the 50 hour training and continues to break down what it means to be a lifelong practitioner of yoga. Through the lens of embodiment you will learn how to hold trauma-informed spaces, incorporate anatomy into your classes, how to sequence, build your brand and how to embody yoga. This training will incorporate new teachers and teachings to continue the path of learning and diversify perspectives. You do not have to take the 50 hour training to sign up for this module. There are no prerequisites.

This training runs from September to January every year. Registration opening for the fall soon.

The rolling modules are space for trainees to start to focus in on a realm of wellness they’re passionate about leaning into, as well as learning new things.

These modules will be released on a rolling basis. Each module is 5 hours long and will help you develop your personal practice and teaching style.

⁠The mentorship modules are designed to support you in the direction you would like to take your wellness career or personal practice. Whether that is through the lens of teaching group classes, working one on one with clients, incorporating new practices into your already existing career or understanding how this practice supports your human experience. The ⁠mentorship is where you get to nerd out and continue to lean into your passions to figure out your niche when it comes to teaching and living your yoga.

Two different paths:

1. Mentorship - Career in Wellness

2. Studentship - Deepening Self Study

Mentorship happens on a rolling basis, the next round of mentorship opens this fall, learn more about it HERE.
