After just four weeks immersed in yoga study and lifestyle, I felt stronger and healthier than ever—better than when I was a professional athlete! I was 100% prepared to teach, and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing ever since! Our programs are designed by our senior teachers and teaching team—a community of Sunstone Yoga Academy graduates who teach over 640 classes a week.
They remember just what it was like to teach their first class, and are committed to presenting you with information and skills that help you grow.
The courses are demanding, but the rewards are huge! And best of all, the techniques you will learn are tested every day in our thriving network.
Sunstone’s Values Align with My Values
Be Consistent
Fostering this within ourselves and demonstrating it during class helps our students avoid self-doubt as they develop their own consistent yoga practice.
Be Observant
Being a good teacher is not about saying more but about seeing more –this helps us refine the subtleties of our teaching skills
Be Kind and Grateful
Our students have busy lives, and they make a special effort to prioritize attending our classes.
Be Engaged
To be mindfully engaged with our students is the culmination of all of our principles, and the key to endless possibility. A teacher without students is not a teacher.
I would recommend Sunstone Yoga’s teacher training program to anyone interested in deepening their practice and finding a new life path in a nurturing environment.
Teacher training was a beautiful stepping stone, enabling me to travel further down this path.
I joined to deepen my knowledge and to share my love of yoga with others.
I found a supportive community -- a family.
I gained a deep understanding of myself.
My mind was opened and my horizons expanded.
I will continue to discover the multitude of rewards for a lifetime.
The training program quickly evolved from a simple certification process into a deeper understanding of myself, my body, my goals, and my lifestyle.
I found a beautiful learning experience that prepared me for the challenges of teaching as well as challenges in other aspects of my life.

I never expected the life-changing experience that I ended up getting.
The path of yoga is not an easy one, but with the support of fellow teachers and students, from a community that continually grows together in a healthy direction, and with a body that can (through practice) handle just about whatever I throw at it, it has become much easier.
The best thing that I have EVER done was to take this step.
My body is changing. My thought process is evolving.
My heart is opening.
