300 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!

2025- 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Commit to another level of your practice to learn the tools and practices to live your yoga beyond your mat. We know there is more to yoga than asana, but how do you share it with your students? We dive deep into subtle body, philosophy, and apply it directly to your life. Each weekend is themed with one of the main 7 chakras and the energies, body, poses associated with it. We cover advanced asana, as well as common transitions and advanced sequencing that will help you refine your teaching skills. Our Beyond the Mat section teaches you self-care, and helps you shape your lifestyle of your dreams. Live what you teach, stay inspired, nourish yourself and be the best version of yourself.

We'll blend in meditation, pranayama (breath-work), and asana for evenings of calming, impactful opportunities for introspection.
