200hr Livestream Teacher Training

Winter 2024 STARTING FEBRUARY

A 6 month invitation into the heart of the Yoga Tradition, self-inquiry and the art of living. The ancient wisdom of Yoga woven artfully into the everyday.

This 200 hour training will give you a solid foundation from which to teach while deepening your personal practice and preparing you to guide your future students through a practice that is inspiring, playful, nourishing, and supportive of overall health. 

This Yoga Alliance Accredited 200 Hour Teacher Training is a powerful foundation for what will be a life-time of inquiry into the traditions we call "yoga." 

Our students will receive a comprehensive education in applied anatomy and modern-science backed movement principles along side of rich studies in history and philosophy; allowing them to deliver potent classes that weave the ancient, esoteric teachings of yoga into modern life in a way that is both powerful and digestible.

I NEED THIS

ARE YOU CRAVING A PRACTICE THAT NOURISHES THE WHOLE OF YOU?

This program is an interdisciplinary training anchored in classical yoga studies, modern movement research, mind-body coaching, somatic movement, ayurveda and traditional Chinese Medicine, and Katonah Yoga®. Marie and Selena collectively hold certifications in numerous yoga lineages, mobility trainings, dance, life coaching, pilates, and more and offer a holistic, comprehensive training experience that will support you both on and off of the mat. 

This training is an invitation into a practice that equally nourishes the heart and invites healing to the mind. A practice that is playful, explorative, and non-dogmatic. That honors the body as the altar of life and yet is not a practice overly invested in the body but gives equal attention to the other limbs of practice. 

Honoring that there are are many lineages, many ways to be, teach, live, and seek. All are welcome here and students will receive exposure to multiple yoga lineages. 

Whether you are intending to teach or just craving more depth in your personal practice, this training is a transformational experience that will teach you to ask questions, to stay connected to your inner compass, and to lean into practice.

Testimonials

“I met Marie when I first walked into Alo ​Yoga Studio​. I had just moved to LA and was looking to meet new friends and find new hobbies. After taking the first class with her, I signed up for the unlimited membership. Marie is such an amazing teacher, she loves what she does and cares about all of her students. Fast forward a year, I still take her classes and have learned so much. Thanks to Marie, I am now more connected to YOGA than ever, I have improved flexibility and yes have a more toned silhouette!! Thank you, Marie for keeping me motivated.”

Laura - Financial Services- Sales Director

“For almost as long as I have been practicing yoga, Marie has been my teacher. After moving to Los Angeles two years ago, fate had it that I would walk into Marie’s class and instantly feel at home. Her emphasis on alignment, flowing with the breath, being in the present moment, and strengthening both the body and mind while cultivating the soul, is what has helped me grow in ways I never conceived of and stabilized me in my practice. Thank you Marie for your teaching, mentorship, support, and most of all your love and friendship!” 

Molly - UCLA Librarian 

"Marie isn’t just teaching you to move your body, she’s teaching you to cultivate your spirit. To see yourself as you are, without judgment, and to help that person thrive. In a world with so many disparate calls, she reminds you to hear the one that comes from you, and to show up for it."

George - Writer 

"Marie Yoga’s class is amazing. As a dancer, I constantly need to stay in shape and Marie has helped me a lot with my flexibility and my core strength.  She is patient and at the same time challenges you. I saw my improvements in a week!"

Marie - International Professional Dancer & Teacher 

"The first yoga class I’ve ever taken was with Marie.  I was so nervous walking in but Marie was so welcoming and kind instantly and really made this an incredible experience. She was very helpful and patient during all the moves. She never makes anyone feel less than or not as good if they aren’t yet able to do the super experienced or flexible moves. Her classes are challenging and empowering and I always leave feeling stronger each time. When I’m not able to attend her classes in person I do take her classes on the OpenFit App which are amazing and easy to follow! I highly recommend taking her classes she is amazing and such an inspiring person!"

Lucelys- Healthcare Professional

Stephanie – Cedars-Sinai Nurse

“The retreat exceed by far my expectations, having been on several retreats prior, Marie combined the perfect amount of yoga and sightseeing to create an incredible experience. Our group was a perfect size and with Marie’s open and positive communication, she set the tone for an amazing bonding experience for us all. I plan to return for many years to come” 

Meghan – Software Engineer, Entrepreneur

"I started taking Marie’s yoga classes a year and a half ago in a very vulnerable and hard time in my life. I also have struggled with sciatica pain the last 3 years and needed to find some sort of healing and relief. Her uncanny ability has made me stronger in many ways than I imagined. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. She’s extremely encouraging and has inspired me to push harder. Her deep knowledge for yoga is impressive and is felt in her flow. I highly recommend taking her class. She’s changed my life."
