Have you been thinking about making a career change to something more meaningful in your life? Has yoga helped you through big life challenges and now you want to pay it forward and share what you have learned through your experience and help others too?
Do you have an existing yoga practice and have finally decided to embark on the next phase of your yoga journey and enroll in yoga teacher training, yet, maybe you have held back because you are not confident, do not feel good enough, or maybe you have a physical or even learning challenges.
All of HERIZEN's Women Yoga Teacher Trainings are personalized, come in small groups, affordable, empowering, and transformational.

Join this small group of like-minded women where the desert meets the edge of the Sierra Laguna Mountains and the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
Build lifelong friendships, tune-up another level of yoga self mastery, and even new ways to express yourself. Enjoy kirtan, world dance, fireside under the waxing moon, and listening to the sound of the ocean all while being nurtured, cared for, and inspired, gaining clarity about your new yogini way of life, expanding your comfort zone, and having fun too!

There is ample space for learning in your unique way with fresh air, clean water, white sand beaches, lovely natural trees, and beautiful vistas watching the whales go by, all under tropical blue skies.
Participants will commune together in a variety of outdoor yoga spaces for their training practices, and you will be served delicious farm to table organic vegetarian / vegan meals to nourish your body, mind, and soul. The program can also be tailored to meet your specific physical and / or learning style needs.
