BECOME A TRANSFORMATIONAL TEACHER

Let Your Yoga Dance® Teacher Training is a powerful, unique, and joyous experiential inquiry into the art of becoming a transformational teacher.  

Join Let Your Yoga Dance founding director, Megha Nancy Buttenheim—who has been leading this training since 1997—and rediscover your body and its energy centers, or chakras, in a brand new way. In this training, you will learn to: 

  • Become an excellent instructor in the dance of yoga.
  • Build confidence, expertise, and authenticity.
  • Transform your relationship with music.
  • Embody the chakras.

Together, we create safe, brave, and sacred space in a loving, professional environment. 

NOTE No prior experience is necessary to take this module. Tuition includes a training manual which will be given to you on opening night. To become a certified Let Your Yoga Dance instructor, you must take Module 1 first, followed by Module 2. You may also attend Module 1 simply to experience this vibrant program without pursuing certification, but please note that all sessions are mandatory. Both modules are necessary to complete the Let Your Yoga Dance® Teacher Training. After graduation, you will be invited to join the Let Your Yoga Dance Teacher’s Association.
