This continuing education program is designed for yoga teachers who want to deepen their understanding of Ayurvedic rhythm, yoga lifestyle practices, anatomy study, and restorative learning experiences in a structured but flexible format. Training is divided into clear components so participants can move through the material with intention while meeting continuing education requirements.
Book Club - Yoga & Ayurveda by Dr. David Frawley YPLE
Weekly Tea Ceremony TM
Salt Cave Day Retreats TTP
Yoga Anatomy Movie Nights A&P
These events support layered learning through discussion, observation, reflection, and applied practice. See the schedule HERE to select your sessions. Send Michelle a CHAT for questions.
Students will use linked Substack materials as an educational support resource throughout the training. These materials help organize study, reinforce key themes, and create continuity between sessions, but the training itself remains grounded in direct mentorship, live discussion, and guided learning. Each training component is intended to support practical integration without overreach, keeping the experience educational, accessible, and rooted in lifestyle-based wellness.
Participants will work closely with Michelle to schedule mentorship components in a way that supports proper pacing, attendance, and completion of all required continuing education categories. This program is especially well suited for someone with freedom of time and bandwidth, as it invites steady participation, thoughtful reflection, and flexibility for scheduling across multiple learning experiences.
Students have up to twelve months to complete the training and may pay for events as they go to satisfy tuition. Each session stands on its own. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate as Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher, a 40-hour continuing education course. If unable to complete the full course, students will receive continuing education credit for the events they were able to attend.
