What happens when yoga teacher training ends?

Community / Practice / Guidance

We all know this feeling, whether it was a few months or years ago.

You’ve shared yourself and connected deeply with one of the most supportive communities you've ever been a part of. You found yourself there, the person you most wanted to be.

You practiced regularly so your body and mind felt stronger, calmer, and more resilient than they ever had.

And any question you had (or didn’t know you had) was answered by someone who had been living and teaching yoga for more than a decade.

Then you graduate, and all three—community, practice, feedback— are suddenly gone, just as you are becoming a teacher.

It can feel like the bottom has dropped out from under you, and whether you trained with me or didn’t, that’s the last thing I want.

The Circle is where a community of teachers comes together twice a month to support each other, and to remember who they are and why they teach.

The Circle is where you practice intentional yoga at a deep discount so you can take care of yourself and be inspired.

The Circle is where, twice a month, we dive deep through case studies and guest speakers to thread your training, your practice, your community, and your teaching together.

Community

A class for teachers ( taught by me, Sara) with the same eleven people, and a case study discussion after it, twice a month.

Here is that rare, beautiful thing that so often defines a yoga teacher training and so many of us miss—we want every person to teach and be their best. We are here to support each other.

Practice

It’s not just you. Practice falls off when you become a teacher for nearly everyone—and yet, taking yoga classes regularly is the one thing that most improved my teaching after I was certified.

The full Teacher’s Circle includes two classes a week at Shine, plus the weekly teachers' class. That time is for you to be in your body, but also to be inspired—to notice how a cue feels in your body and why a sequence works.

Guidance

Every profession that involves standing in front of people has a structure for this. Therapists have supervision. Classroom teachers have coaching. Doctors present cases. Yoga teachers finish a certification and work it out alone.

So twice a month, after class, we stay and work through what's come up. You bring the situation; I bring what I know, and so does everyone else who's faced it. I'll name a topic in advance — teaching without demonstrating, transitions, the first five minutes — so there's always something to work on. Guest teachers join us quarterly.

Class for Teachers

Two Monday evenings per month, a class built for people who teach.

You practice as a student, but with your own teaching in mind — a different experience from any other class you'll take. It's designed to run alongside what you're studying in the modules and electives, so the anatomy you worked on Saturday shows up in your body on Monday.

If you're not in the certification, it stands on its own.

The First Circle

We will be eleven teachers, and we'll shape it together — I have a strong sense of what teachers need after certification, but I'd rather build it around the eleven of you than decide everything in advance.

The Second and Fourth Monday of the month. Beginning October 2026. Teachers' class taught by Sara, 6:45-7:45 pm ·

Case-study and topic discussion after the one-hour class.

Guest Speaker Quarterly.
