200 Hour Grit & Grace
Yoga Teacher Training

Grit & Grace is designed for committed practitioners who are ready to deepen their understanding of yoga, whether or not they plan to teach. Many trainees come knowing they want to lead classes, and others join to deepen personal practice, discipline, and philosophy. You do not need to have perfect poses. You only need curiosity, consistency, and willingness to grow.

Grit & Grace is structured as a 210-hour immersion designed to exceed traditional 200-hour standards. We emphasize: • Early and consistent practice teaching • Structured sequencing methodology • Applied anatomy for real bodies • Leadership and space-holding skills • Extended contact hours for integration This is not a rushed certification. It is a yoga teacher training designed to build real confidence.

Life happens. Because we run an extended immersion format, there is built-in flexibility. Missed hours can be made up through: • Assigned practicum • One-on-one mentorship sessions • Observation hours • Written integration work We will work with you, but attendance matters.

This is not a virtual program. It is intended for people who are able to attend in person at our Castle Rock and DTC studio locations in Colorado. However, we do record sessions from time to time for our students who have to miss due to travel or illness.

Practice teaching begins early in the training and increases progressively. You will: • Teach short sequences • Lead partner drills • Teach small groups • Graduate having led a full-length class Teaching is not reserved for the final weekend. It is woven throughout the program. You will graduate having taught a portion of a public, community flow and one full class to your classmates.

This is a disciplined program. You will practice consistently, study anatomy, engage in discussion, and teach regularly. However, we emphasize sustainable practice. This is not about extreme flexibility or peak-pose performance. It is about functional strength and intelligent teaching.

The training focuses on foundational vinyasa and alignment-based sequencing with strong anatomical awareness. We emphasize: • Intelligent progression • Nervous system literacy • Strength and mobility balance • Trauma-aware language
