  • "At Mighty, you feel like the most important person in the world when you walk in, every single time. Yoga Teacher Training was no different, set as a hybrid course we spent about 6 weekends together, and met every week once a week on Zoom. This allowed us to learn hands on as well as connect with other teachers from around the world to help us learn. The training itself was transformational in not only did it allow me to become a teacher, but also grow as a person while making new friends and building a stronger sense of community. The training provided me everything I needed to start teaching a yoga class the day of graduation. Overall I could not recommend Heather and the Mighty Yoga teacher training more."

    —Lindsey Cox

  • "I really enjoyed the range of knowledge that was shared with us: from anatomy to energy to deities, etc. It felt balanced and I feel I am well rounded to begin teaching yoga. My understanding of asana has grown a lot. My alignment is safer. I feel more confident and that being a yoga teacher as an actual reality is crazy but awesome."

    —Caleigh

  • "I came into the training thinking I would get “super good at yoga” and not sure what else. I spent the first few weekends feeling shaky, anxious, and like I was going to therapy/meditation summer camp. Gradually I started to notice that the “have to’s,” self judgments, and frustrations over striving for perfectionism were starting to get drowned out, muted, blurred by this new feeling that was completely foreign to me, self love? I started to ask myself what I needed at any given moment and, more surprisingly, I started to actually listen. I have found strength, patience, and a kindness toward myself that I am beyond grateful for."

    —Emeline S.

  • "It’s been so nice to connect through a shared learning experience with this group. I am so impressed with Heather and Wendy’s feedback. You strike a balance of being honest and supportive. I learned so much about alignment. Daily practice and meditation has become part of my routine which has allowed me to be more present and compassionate in my life."

    —Amanda

  • "I cannot rave enough about this training. The course, the teachers, the instruction, the everything was incredible. This training was more than just getting my teaching certification -- it helped me emotionally heal and reconnect with myself. I am beyond grateful to my teachers, Gina and Zainab, and the other members of the team (shoutout Heather and Chris!) for teaching me that there is much more to yoga (and life) than what we immediately perceive. This training has forever changed me for the better. Thank you so much Mighty!"

    —Cassondra Kelly

Throughout the training we will enhance our understanding of ancient yoga teachings and how they apply to our modern world via the study of yoga texts, expert guest teachers, and a variety of other sources.

Through these avenues, you will have the opportunity to delve into yoga philosophy in a way that will deepen and enhance your own yoga practice as well as your yoga teaching.  Be prepared to leave the training feeling empowered both on and off the mat.

This training will provide you with a solid foundation in pose alignment, creative sequencing, and finding your authentic voice as a teacher. You will learn not only how to teach a yoga class, but how to create a safe and powerful yoga experience for your students. With daily teaching practice and attention to developing the skills of an effective teacher, you will leave the training equipped with all of the tools you need to teach and to feel confident doing so.

The training will cover:

  • Smart, safe, creative, fun sequencing

  • Finding your unique teaching voice and style

  • Pose study & alignment

  • Yoga anatomy & physiology

  • Meditation & breathwork

  • Yoga history & philosophy

  • The Chakras

  • Trauma-Informed Teaching

  • The Business & Ethics of Teaching Yoga

I am so happy you are here!

We have been running small-group teacher trainings since 2018, and have graduated over 130 teachers. It is my intention to lead our trainees to connect more authentically to themselves and their practice through this training. We create a powerful community while on this journey together.

I’ve been teaching yoga for 14 years (over 2,000 classes!) and learn something new every time I step onto my mat or lead a class. There are so many beautiful and transformational aspects to this practice. There is nothing more powerful to me than leading a group of people who are moving and breathing (and often sweating!) together in a shared space - each with individual experiences on their mat.

To get more specific, I’ve completed 200-hr and 300-hr trainings, as well as completed over 120 additional training hours, including prenatal yoga, restorative yoga, yoga anatomy, and trauma-sensitive yoga. 

  • "The sense of self awareness of my mind and body has given me strength and courage to embrace the world with open arms. I am confident I have the tools to become the best yoga teacher I can be thanks to this training."

    — Michael Z.

  • "This training has been one of the most profound experiences in my life! It extends beyond so much more than “teaching” or the “poses” and reaches every part of your life. I feel stronger, lighter, and more easeful when I am practicing. It brought me some new confidence in public speaking at work."

    —Katie S.

  • "I feel like I really got in touch with myself. As we progressed through the training, I felt calmer and more centered in all parts of my life. I loved learning about anatomy and alignment in the poses. It has helped me get deeper into my yoga practice and poses, as well as become more confident and safe in them. "

    —Amanda

  • "The training has helped me learn to be more forgiving of myself and to listen to my body. I feel a much stronger connection to myself. My practice is my own now – and I love that. I like how things were explained and how the instructors fostered an environment where it was safe to share."
