200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Peace Love and Yoga in Carlsbad, California
I opened Peace Love and Yoga, PLAY, in 2010. I was only 23 when I opened it, so I feel like I grew up here as the studio grew and expanded. My partner, Monique came in first as a teacher, then assistant manager, studio manager, then in 2017 we became business partners. I’m grateful to have an amazing partner on site running our day-to-day operations, which allows me to live out of state and while continuing to create new programing and trainings for PLAY as well as other locations. This studio is where the birth place of all the trainings I’ve created, and will always be one of my yoga homes. Come check out class here, and I’d love to see you in one of our programs!

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program
Our well-rounded program was developed with you in mind to not only gain confidence in teaching, but also in your own personal practice. We focus on the journey within, to help you connect with the most authentic version of you. Our detailed alignment principals will teach you the structure of poses, and how to adjust them for different students, seasons of life and injuries. We teach you to see and teach to people, not just bodies. The entire program is interlaced with Anatomy, Sanskrit terms, Subtle Energy, and Yoga Philosophy alongside your Asana (poses). We will give you the tools to develop your own sequences for every stage of your teaching and to expand your own personal practice. This 200 Hour Training was created for your teaching, your practice and for your life beyond the mat.
