You stand confidently at the front of the room
Students are seated, eyes closed
The sound of deep breathing fills the air
You feel excited, you feel strong, you feel at home

This is the life you’ve created
You look forward to it every day 
Because you know that teaching invigorates & inspires you like nothing else
You get into bed each night amazed, full of joy and gratitude

This is no accident, 
You take better care of yourself than ever before
You live authentically because you know you stand as a model for others 
Radiating all the attributes that people want –
Which naturally magnetizes them to you

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been called
We invite you to step into a life that taps your highest potential and highest good
A life richer than you ever imagined
Only you can make this happen
Are you ready?

Teaching Tools
Yoga Practice: Having a consistent & frequent practice is essential to being a good teacher. Each day we meet, Steve & Talya will lead you through a 2 hour practice. You will also be encouraged to attend ongoing classes alongside cultivating a personal practice. Only by doing yoga can you connect to its true healing powers. And only from your personal experience can you authentically share the magic of yoga with others.

Teaching: During our afternoon sessions you will learn how to teach using all of you: this includes (but is not limited to) your voice, your body, your hands and your heart. You will have the opportunity to teach actual students as well as your fellow trainees. Steve & Talya will be your allies, giving you feedback and guiding you towards your most compelling and inspiring self. Your job is to make this process your priority and do your best.

Technical Expertise: In our time together you will learn how to sequence safely for all levels of students, how to expertly modify and work with injuries, how to work safely with pregnant students and how to provide delicious and effective hands-on assists. You will also gain an understanding of how the body works and how to teach in order to open your students – physically and emotionally – so they can live healthy and rich lives.

Ceremony: Throughout our time together, we will use a variety of indigenous ceremonies, including shamanic work, Toltec practices, energetic healings and more, to help you shed and mend the unworkables in your life so you can bring forth your full potential. These rich processes are profound teachers that also bring forth a richer understanding of the human condition, an essential quality in any meaningful yoga teacher.

Anatomy: Our integrated Anatomy Course, taught by Kim Greeff, will give you a framework to understand the human body in general and how it is affected by yoga in particular. The knowledge gained during this course will give you confidence as a teacher and will be instrumental to your skill-set. 

BusinessYoga is a business. As part of this teacher training you will learn how to make a living as a successful yoga teacher. Everything from how to position yourself within the market and to prospective employers, to how to retain and grow your student base, to how to get and negotiate private clients, will be covered in this training. You will leave excited and prepared to begin your business.

Our Expectations 
Our trainees are responsible adults enrolling in this program from a place of choice. Our expectation is that the level of dedication we are providing to you be reciprocated. That you do your best at all times. That you commit yourself fully to this process and make room for the possibility of real growth and transformation. That you bring your highest self to this work and hold yourself accountable and responsible for your choices — we will.

To receive a graduation certificate, you will be responsible for 100% attendance and assignment completion. 

Our style of yoga:

Turbodog Yoga is a very unique system of yoga, designed by Steve and Talya to address the demands of modern life. This compelling curriculum leads to rapid and lasting change in students. In creating Turbodog Yoga, Steve and Talya have skillfully combined the power of asana with the power of indigenous ceremony and ritual, an exciting and rewarding technique that helps students recognize and then reorganize the conditioned internal programming that has held them back. The synergy is potent and leads to meaningful and profound shifts in short periods of time, something they call turbo-transformation.

Woven into the practice are teachings from the Toltec lineage, Blackfoot Medicine, and other shamanic and energy work. The sequencing has its roots in Forrest Yoga, a style created to specifically address the physical and emotional needs of Western peoples. The asana draws on the teachings of Robert Boustany and his rich understanding of human physiology and how to open energetic blockages for greater strength, flexibility and overall health.

Testimonials

“Right after I graduated from the Turbodog Yoga training, I was in New York and went to several reputable yoga studios to try them out. Their classes didn’t compare- I immediately became aware of the quality of my training and was fascinated by how much I learned throughout the process. I could teach and speak about the poses in a much more compelling way than other teachers who had years of teaching experience, and I had a deeper awareness of how each pose impacted the body. I had the tools to lead a class that was more meaningful to students. I was shocked, but in a positive way. I realized just how powerful our training was.”

– Rudy Minasian, Turbodog Yoga 200hr training graduate

“I found inspiration in myself. I found the strength to love myself. I was able to take off the glasses I was wearing and to see the world in a different way and I now live more open and more free. I am so grateful for the chance to realize that my life is important and special and meaningful.”

–Leslie Sisomboune, Turbodog Yoga 200hr training graduate

“There are not a lot of settings in our lives where we can openly express ourselves and our pains and still feel safe. I am so grateful to have been able to release all that. It is such a great relief. I’ve grown so much over the past two months — it’s like night and day. I don’t want this to end, even though I know this is the last day…”

– Mary Ann De La Cruz, Turbodog Yoga 200hr training graduate

“I have so much gratitude for the power that this circle has given me and everyone in it. I picture myself as a spark coming in to this training — I think most of us felt like that. But now all I see are strong burning warm bright fires.”

– Francis Tabin, Turbodog Yoga 200hr training graduate
