YOGA teacher training

Train to become a confident yoga teacher through Yoga Bliss’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program in Fairlawn, serving Akron and surrounding communities. Our comprehensive training covers sequencing, cueing, anatomy, philosophy, teaching methodology, and the practical skills needed to lead effective yoga classes.

If you are reading this page, chances are that you've discovered there just might be a lot more to this yoga stuff than the classes you attend.

Perhaps you find yourself telling anybody who will listen how great class was, what you did, and what you learned, and they are saying, "You should be a yoga teacher." Perhaps it is something quieter: a feeling that your yoga practice has filled a void and something wonderful is growing. Both of these were my experiences. Yoga completely altered my life, and the evolution continues every day. Whether or not your goal is to become a teacher, our training will be life-changing in ways you never imagined.

You will gain the tools to be your best, most authentic self; to unapologetically attract abundance; to navigate outside of your comfort zone in a calm, unflinching manner, spending longer and longer at your edge, where huge growth occurs; and to be less reactive and cultivate neutral observation of triggering situations. These tools will allow you to be an effective teacher and a successful citizen of the world.

YOUR JOURNEY
to authenticity begins here!

Our program is accessible to all, no matter your preferred style of yoga, whether Gentle or Power Vinyasa, or anything in between. When we practice as a group, you may choose a more rigorous class in the Hot Studio, or a more gentle class in the Ganesha (non-heated) Studio.

Meet Amber, Lead Trainer

A teacher’s teacher, here to guide you.

Amber brings depth, steadiness, and heart to the Yoga Bliss teacher training experience. As lead trainer, she will help guide students through the work of deepening practice, building confidence, and finding their voice as teachers.

"I am so excited to be leading yoga teacher training this year! One of my favorite things is witnessing the transformation, connection and growth that occurs during training. For me, yoga is a practice of coming home to who we truly are in each moment, and at the same time, it's a path to becoming who we are meant to be. It allows us to BE and BECOME all at the same time. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-actualization. It is not just about learning to teach yoga. It is about becoming more integrated, more honest, and more you. It's a commitment to yoga as a way of being, and I’d be honored to guide you on your journey of self-discovery."
