what does it mean to be a practitioner/teacher of yoga today?

Join us on a path of deep inquiry, curiosity, and transformation. We understand yoga to be a moving, breathing, ever evolving practice that, while maintaining tradition, can expand outside boundaries and dogma.

This training values inquisition, conversation and expression.

Weekend trainings will be February-June.

There is a written exam on the last day of training and a celebratory Graduation. Summer is for study and crafting the final class. Final classes taught in groups of 4 in September.

  • "a perfect combination of asana, anatomy, philosophy and service"

    'When I signed up for Prema's Teacher Training I really just hoped to deepen my practice and my understanding of yoga. But what I walked away with was so much more – a real insight into myself, a deeper connection to my community, incredible support and encouragement from my teachers, a stronger self-practice, and the confidence to start teaching. 

    I am beyond grateful to Amanda for curating this very well-rounded program – a perfect combination of asana, anatomy, philosophy and service.”

    — Alessandra Olanow

  • "the teacher training program, comprehensive, thorough and DEEP"

    “To each class Amanda brings grace with challenge, laughter with ease, song and poetry, and the humility of the eternal student. She is beautiful, wise and loving and I am honored to call her my teacher. And the teacher training program, comprehensive, thorough and DEEP.” 

    — Fran Dirks

  • "encouraged me to dig deep and embrace my own voice as a teacher"

    “Prema teachers are truly brilliant, generous teachers and I could not have chosen better guides through Prema's challenging, enlightening, exhilarating teacher training program. Their years of teaching experience provide invaluable insight and perspective that is reflective of their unique, thoughtful and creative teaching styles. I am so grateful for the wonderful friendships I found in this process-- and for whole learning experience at Prema, that encouraged me to dig deep and embrace my own voice as a teacher."

    — Mackenzie Stroh
