Our program has been uniquely designed to attune to the very heartbeat of our beautiful Earth and the universal sound of Om~ the vibrational Oneness of All. We have taken special care to design a curriculum that will encourage a sense of peace and relaxation for all. Our hope is that all who enters will find the studio to be a safe and comfortable place to broaden and expand their own yoga practice while cultivating the inner true self which resides in each one of us. 

Our goal for the Garden of Zen Yoga Studio Teacher Training (GOZYTT), is to aid our students in taking those initial steps towards greater self-awareness. With decades of combined experience, our faculty and adjunct staff infuse our curriculum with a variety of levels and abilities. As we are of a heart and Earth-loving centered culture, we emphasize language and cues to foster inclusiveness in order to release any pressure for competition or feelings of judgment or even comparison of self/others and instead—focus to cultivate a group classroom atmosphere that is welcoming for all while also guiding individuals to self-pace the progression of their unique healing experiences

and personal life journeys. 

Our training also encompasses the instruction of a variety of specialty populations in our curriculum as we are aware of the importance of recognizing and embracing the unique situations of every individual along with any challenges he or she may face; and meet those challenges with our professional knowledge, loving kindness, and support. The focus populations to which we refer include Seniors and chair-based formats, Prenatal and Postpartum yoga instruction, individuals with PTSD and Trauma, and instruction in setting modifications to support students with prosthetics. 

Our curriculum covers traditional teaching practices for Alignment, Anatomy & Physiology of movement with the yoga asanas as well as meditation/yoga nidra and mudras for mindfulness and self-healing. Additionally, you will have instruction on the use of Aromatherapy, Herbal Wisdom and making your own energetic blends and herbal teas. Also, the curriculum will cover Yoga business practices, learning the Yogic Philosophy, and leading a Yogic lifestyle to then also become your own model of mindful interaction with students, your friends and family, and all you meet with an internal light blazing ever so brightly in your Universal hearth of Oneness.
