About this Event

Discover the joy of teaching one of the most dynamic, fun and healing outdoor yoga practices!

Yoga on the water is extremely powerful and healing because you experience a deeper connection with MahaPrana (the cosmic energy of the elements). This teacher training is designed for yoga practitioners of all styles who would like to learn to teach a dynamic, joyful and safe yoga experience on the water.

You don’t need to be a yoga teacher for this teacher training. However, this course will assume a certain amount of proficiency as both paddlers and yoga practitioners. This training does not focus on the details of each pose, but rather on techniques for finding balance on the paddle board within each pose.
