Do I have to be a certified yoga teacher to attend the T.R.Y. 20 hour workshop?

How can I become a teacher for T.R.Y.?
If you are at least a 200RYT and have a TRY certification you can sign up to teach our adult clients by contacting us and asking for more information.

Will I be certified to teach yoga after the T.R.Y. 20 hour workshop?

What can I expect in a T.R.Y. 1 hour yoga class?
The T.R.Y. method exists to lower the risk of triggers for those who have experienced trauma and to help reconnect the disassociated body to the mind and spirit of the student. There is no music, no adjustments, and every instruction is merely an invitation. Please visit Our Mission page for more details on the ‘why’ behind our method and what to expect in class.
Is a T.R.Y. class right for me?
T.R.Y. can work for anyone! The method is easily adapted to be accessible to all levels young and old, including chair or bed bound individuals. Every instruction is an invitation, no poses are required. If it pleases you, you may lie down on your mat and breathe through the entire practice. We aim to create a space for the attendees to heal in the way that they need. See Our Mission for more information.
Can I purchase a T.R.Y. training or class for a friend?
