Create sustainable ritual for yourself
Tailor unique yoga classes to suit your students needs
Understand Yoga's sister, Ayurveda, and how they work together
Do you want to feel grounded and serve from a balanced place?
Are you tired of offering the same old themes and flows to your students?
If yes, I'm here for you.
I'm passionate about supporting yoga teachers who are overwhelmed and losing their own practice by putting their students and clients needs first.
Have you ever done these?
-
Rolled out of bed to teach a 6 a.m. class
-
Run from class to class and eat a sandwich in your car
-
Wish you had time for your own practice
I HEAR YOU. I was you.
This is where Ayurveda comes in. Ayurveda is yoga's sister, here to support and encourage you to stay dedicated to your own practice and rituals. Ayurveda can help you manage time and self-care so you can drop overwhelm and step into the seat of teacher with more ease.
​
​
In this course, you will:
-
Learn how to incorporate Ayurveda into your yoga classes as well as your personal practice
-
Recognize the doshas present in your students and tailor a class according to the season, time of day, and other natural rhythms
-
Learn what poses, meditation practices, breathing practices and more are supportive in balancing the energy of your students and classes
-
Create your own ritual practices to support your own needs and create routine
Learning to become an Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher supported me in ways that I didn't know were possible. I began to understand the natural rhythms of nature and how they translated within me and how they can affect my students. Each class is tailored and unique according to Ayurvedic principles and my students leave feeling more in harmony with themselves and nature.

"I can’t recommend and thank Justine enough for her compassionate teaching, authentic way of being and presenting these principles into my life. The girl walks the talk and truly wants to spread what’s slowly becoming a lost way of living. Get in rhythm with nature to find rhythm in your body to better control your life. Give her a follow. You may just be inspired to start living your best life."
- John, AYT Participant

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will this training make me certified in Ayurveda?
No. This course will introduce you to Ayurveda and support you in creating connection with yourself and your students through the philosophy and application of Ayurveda. You will not be able to diagnose or treat your students. You will have an understanding of specific yoga poses, breathing practices, and meditation practices to support them based on time of life, seasons, etc...
If you are interested in becoming certified in Ayurveda, you would begin with a 650-hr Ayurvedic Health Counseling program, like the one I did at Kripalu. The National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) is the governing board for accrediting Ayurveda.
The purpose of this training is to support you as a yoga teacher in finding balance and harmony with yourself, and in learning how to unite yoga and Ayurveda to better serve your students and community.
What are the requirements?
This course is designed for yoga teachers and/or those who have a deep knowledge and understanding of yoga. You will need to show up to the live calls and/or reflect on questionnaires if you watch the recording. You will also be asked to try on practices each week to support yourself in creating ritual.
What is the cost of the training?
$897 or an agreed upon payment plan. Due to the time and energy dedicated to creating this course, no refunds will be given. If there is something not working for you, please communicate with me so we can adjust and support you in getting the most out of this online training.
Is it Yoga Alliance approved?
Yes. If you are a yoga alliance registered yoga teacher you are eligible to earn 20 continuing education credits. You will have 30 days from the last day of the training to complete any coursework. As an E-RYT and Continuing Education Provider, I will be able to confirm that you completed the program and it will be attached to your Yoga Alliance profile.
