Yoga Teacher Training

“This experience has reshaped my practice, my understanding of yoga, my spirituality and my connection to womanhood” ~ Jena

Align & Shine Yoga Teacher Trainings offer students the opportunity to delve much deeper into the study of yoga. Some students feel the calling to do this early on the path, while for others it’s a deepening of their own practice that guides them to want to share the practice of yoga with those around them. Align & Shine Yoga Teacher Trainings go straight to the heart of the practice, preparing teachers to confidently share the practice of yoga in a way that inspires spiritual, physical, and emotional growth.

Align & Shine Yoga offers both 200-hour & a 500-hour Yoga-Alliance-Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings(launching in March 2015). Our YTT was born from the desire to move deeper into our hearts, as Yoga is a powerful practice that will shift the trajectory of one’s destiny. Support and love are offered to all of our teachers. Our trainings immerse the student in yoga asana (posture), pranayama (breath work), and meditation. Align & Shine Yoga students develop a broader understanding of their own practice by learning how to teach to others, through precise verbal and physical assists.

“Just as the mechanic learns how to work on cars to make them run smoothly, or to fix parts that are not working; a yoga teacher must learn the body, and the alignment of the body-mind-heart.” ~Mindy Willis-Menard

A great deal of attention is spent on the intricacies of alignment empowering students to reach their highest potential; to become a skilled teacher and share the art of yoga with the community.

“Mindy, thank you from my soul to yours, for being so truthful and beyond wonderful in creating such a special time in my life. It has been unforgettable and I am forever grateful and looking forward to plenty more journeys to come with you.” ~ Julie
