“Mastering solitude is something more people need to do. If more people were good at being alone, they would drop their expectations of others, and also drop their need for approval, this is a major part of what yoga has taught me.”

Why Yoga School?

A sneak peak into why I practice and teach yoga, and what’s offered in Mai Yoga School.

Over the last 20+ years of yoga practice, I have learned a few things; actually, I have learned a lot of things… some of the most important teachings I have integrated through my personal experience and training are: presence, inner peace, deep compassion, a greater capacity for love, how to let go of resentment, how to live my truth, patience, strength, stability, how to hold myself when the world is upside down, how to navigate my inner world and in turn have a greater understanding for the outer world, how to move through depression, anxiety and PTSD, how to stand strong in my personal integrity, how to be free; how to be consciously human as much as I can, at each given moment of time.

Through the past 8 years I have been teaching yoga full-time (teaching since 2009), and participated as a co-teacher for 5 Yoga Teacher Trainings. Every training was amazing, wonderful teachers and students, and, I received the same feedback in each one: ‘we want more of your presence’. So, now it’s time for me to offer my own take on a YTT… Mai Yoga School.

I am a Certified: E-RYT 200, E-RYT 500, YACEP, with over 10,000 hours of teaching experience. I have trained and studied with a variety of master teachers and Shamans both locally and internationally over the last two decades, and learn on a continual basis from several wonderful teachers. I have been studying spirituality and the human body since I was 7. I have always been fascinated by physiology and kinetics, but also, the other unseen elements of psychology, behaviour, the energy body, quantum physics and mysticism. My self-mastery resides in the mind-body connection alongside modern day mysticism and soul alchemy.

I know, I’m a bit different from the mainstream, I am not the ‘norm’ - I am the other kind of person. I focus on love, understanding, sincerity, and truth… and also, a no bs approach to life… and that’s what you’ll find in Mai Yoga School too.

These classes are some of my most integrated offerings to date, of my own personal experience alongside my professional training and experience. I like life raw, open, and heart centred, and dislike sugar-coating, closed-mindedness, and scattered energy. This program is for people who are willing to do the work it takes to discover inner peace, feel their feelings, be present, and know, that all we know, is that we know nothing at all.

No offence intended as I respect that we all have unique gifts, but I am bored with seeing all the same shit in the yoga industry: undervalued teacher trainings, endless handstands in bikinis, hundreds of different names for the same thing: yoga. In my opinion, much of what is in the mainstream has a persona of superficiality, and reeks of spiritual by-passing, which to me, is a huge turn off. The thing is, I LOVE yoga; have a deep passion for teaching, feel aligned af with what I offer. I know that I offer an expansive and unique perspective on the ancient wisdom teachings that move through my veins.

I know, I am not for everyone, this program is not for everyone either.

Most people are looking for a quick way to put a certificate on their wall, learn how to do a handstand, or land a new career, and we will cover those things, but they will not be the main focus, the main focus here, is tapping into our humanity through ancient teachings and techniques.

This is for the other people: the people who want to dive deeper into the teachings of yoga, the people who are willing to create more time for themselves, the people who know they need a change, for people willing to do the work and be responsible for their own outcome- without the need for external validation, this is for people who are interested in the other side of yoga.

This is for people who are wiling to move through a ‘dark night of the soul’ with open eyes, open mind, and an open heart. This is for the true warriors of love, compassion and humanity. This is where we uncover ancient teachings and techniques and learn what it is to be human. This will be a journey to yourself through yourself.

Are you the other kind of person?

If so, Yoga School might be for you.

The problem with 300HR Yoga Teacher Trainings Today

Most in-person 300HR Yoga Teacher Training programs are a massive investment of time and money, and can take years to complete often require extensive travel and lodging expenses. Online programs may be more affordable but can lack the in-person relationships and community that so many yoga teachers crave.

Many go-at-your-own-pace trainings, while convenient, lack the detailed feedback you receive when you build a one-on-one relationship with a teacher who sees you, your teaching, and your growth consistently over a period of time.

Not many trainings focus on helping you build actual teaching skills to apply what you learn and become more proficient at teaching the knowledge you gain. And few 300HR yoga teacher trainings actually teach you how to sustainably build a yoga career based on the philosophy and teachings of yoga.

Mai Yoga’s 300HR Online Yoga Teacher Training does all of this and more!
