About this Event
Hybrid Training: Online Learning + In-Person Practicum
This hybrid Nature Yoga Certification is designed for yoga instructors who are new to teaching outdoors or who want to deepen their skills and offer more meaningful, nature-based experiences for their students.
When you register, you’ll receive immediate access to the online course, where you’ll work through self-paced lectures covering the foundations of outdoor yoga—from site selection and safety to adapting cues for natural environments. After completing the online portion, you’ll join us in person for a guided practice class and live Q&A, where everything comes together through hands-on application.
Throughout the training, you’ll gain practical tools for leading mindful, sustainable outdoor yoga experiences that thoughtfully incorporate grounding, forest bathing, and Leave No Trace principles. You’ll walk away with the confidence to guide transformative classes that connect students more deeply with both their practice and the natural world.
