Why We’re Evolving
For years, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings have been seen as a rite of passage—but in many ways, they’ve become standardized, diluted, and too focused on teaching without truly living the teachings.
At Balance, we’ve asked ourselves the deeper question:
What if the goal wasn’t to teach yoga, but to practice it fully, in every corner of your life?
Introducing THE PATH — a reimagined, modernized, heart-led journey designed for seekers. This is for the person who doesn’t need another title—but is ready to walk the walk. Because the truth of the matter is, we are all students with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
THE PATH is a deeply immersive, transformative experience that blends ancient philosophy with real-world embodiment. Instead of preparing you to “teach” yoga in a studio…we prepare you to live yoga – in your body, your relationships, your rituals, and your everyday decisions.
So much of this practice happens off the mat, it’s your time to pull the thread and see how it’s all connected.
You’ll walk away with a life-long practice that holds you; a toolbox for the highs and lows of life; a lens that guides you and every choice you make; a path that changes you & creates ripples into every corner of your life.
Not your average yoga teacher training
This is a 6-month, chakra-based journey of self-inquiry, embodiment, and transformation — rooted in ancient wisdom and designed for modern life.
Too often, 200-hour yoga teacher trainings focus on performance over presence, certifications over self-awareness. At Balance Studio, we believe yoga is a lifelong path.
THE PATH is our reimagined 200-hour certification program for those who want to live yoga deeply — on the mat, in relationship, in ritual, and in real life.
You don’t need to want to teach.
You just need to be ready to transform.
Each month of THE PATH is dedicated to one of the energy centers of the body, weaving together physical practice, philosophy, ritual, and integration. This energetic arc allows you to experience the fullness of yoga — body, mind, and bring. The course will meet every other Thursday and every other Saturday, January through June – and come July you will have completed your journey, ready to live your yoga off the mat.
