Getting Certified

Additional Details:

A favorite aspect of the Sage Apprenticeship is our community integration and "giving back." After our classes complete in August, students will be required to attend weekly student led practices for integrating the year's studies. Future teachers will guide the practices to sharpen their skills and receive feedback, while our loving community gets to receive their unique style, approach and medicine.

Upon completion of the 200hrs, students will be required to take a short written exam, design practices demonstrating knowledge and skill of the therapeutics of the practices, and teach to receive their Tantra Yoga Therapy Teacher certification. There is a certification process fee (that includes a private review session with Brooke) of $130.

Students may also take the course for personal reasons without any obligation to teach.

Upon completion, students may register with Yoga Alliance to join the international community of teachers as a 200hr Yoga Therapy Teacher.

If you wish to continue your studies, deepening the embodied knowledge of the 200hr and adding more advanced skills, then you may continue on to the Sage Apprenticeship Level 2

Out of town students may request to come to Asheville, NC and stay at our private Wild Temple Cabin for any of the weekends with advanced notice. The 3 bedroom Cabin is nestled in a beautiful sanctuary 5 minutes from downtown Weaverville and has a state of the art Therapeutic hot tub.

"I was taught so much in this program.  Mantra, meditation, asana, wise sequencing, subtle energies, prana, and the list goes on forever.  I didn’t just learn all of these things, I actually embody these practices, which I had never felt before at this level, from a yoga practice."
