The heart of our training is based on inquiry and curiosity. We believe each topic should be explored, questioned, understood, then applied.
It is for this reason each class is broken down, pose by pose, so the trainee can understand the WHY behind each move. The anatomy and philosophy lectures are designed to layer information across the weeks providing time for the concepts to become meaningful.Â
Certified LYT Instructor Johana shares some insights about her experience with the LYT teacher training program.
"Despite my initial doubts that I wouldn't be able to connect with others, I never felt alone thanks to the wonderfully structured training. Any content questions that I had were answered on the recorded zoom calls and a LYT Team member was always available via email. I know I made the right choice and am happy to now be part of the LYT Fam for further development and learning. I highly recommend the Self-Guided training."
The course is available year round.
