In partnership with Sacred Brooklyn

July 18th -August 7th, 2017

Welcome.
etymology: willa = pleasure/desire/choice + cuma = guest

We appreciate that you have many choices when it comes to a yoga teacher training. How to choose? We encourage you to dig deep, to the heart of your desire. Ask us questions. Take our classes. Survey your options. But mostly listen closely for the answers to be revealed from within. You’ll know.

That’s what we teach. In this guide, is the practical information – the nuts and bolts of Sacred’s training. The vision, the passion, the dream, the intuitive pull – is within you. For today, consider yourself a guest at this banquet of possibility.

We promise to give you the tools to unearth the yoga teacher that already lives within. We are: one part practical: discipline, practice, technique and one part woo-woo: mystical, mystery, magic. We value generosity of spirit, compassion, accessibility, expression, connection, curiosity and unlimited potential. Above all we value the SACRED in everything.

The process?
It won’t be easy. The commitment is substantial. But what completely amazing, game-changing life events are?
