The Level 4 Experience

The Capstone of our 250-Hour YTT

Designed for our Level 3 graduates, the Level 4 retreat will help students develop the in-person skills essential for safely teaching studio classes, workshops, and privates. In addition to building their skills in teaching presence, assists, and demonstrations, students will receive the hands-on feedback for their own practice that is only possible in-person. Level 4 includes skillbuilding in advanced cueing, theming, marketing, and business development, and also takes a juicy dive into the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita. With afternoon downtime for relaxation, our Level 4 Retreat is the perfect balance of professional development and nourishing retreat.

Testimonials

Naomi

Personal Trainer, London, England

"It was everything I hoped for and more. The support was incredible and the online resources outstanding. It was fun, informative and transformative and I was able to do this from the comfort and convenience of my study in England. Thank you for making this a possibility."

Karen

VP & Senior Counsel, Georgia, USA

"As a corporate executive, there would be no other way for me to pursue a deeper connection with my yoga practice than online. I anticipated that I would have to proceed at a rather jagged pace and that has proven to be the case. This allows me to fit in the training in accord with my very demanding schedule, even on vacation. DYWM YTT is of the highest caliber of educational programming and all of the presenters are superior instructors. It occurs to me that this is the very definition of yin/yang: the ancient art of yoga being offered using the most modern technology. The Vedas would be proud and amazed!"

Conni

Pharmaceutical Quality Manager, NJ, USA

"The YTT is a fabulous program. The training materials are well organized and thorough. Any of my questions and technical issues were answered and resolved quickly. I'm pretty much a beginner practitioner, but the physical practice is accessible and I feel like my practice will deepen with the new challenges. I was hesitant at first to do an on-line YTT but with my full and busy life, it was my best choice for pursuing my yoga goals. I couldn't be happier with how this is going with DYWM and grateful for the staff's efforts in creating this program. I'm looking forward to the retreat."

Kyriaki,

New York, USA

"I am very happy that I choose to take the YTT with the DYWM team. It is exactly what I was expecting and even more. The curriculum is comprehensive yet easy to understood and paced in a way that allows you to follow, irrespectively of your previous experience. The online lectures are easy to follow even for somebody like me who is not a native English speaker. The knowledge and the experience of the instructors is evident but what gained my appreciation even more is how approachable they are every time that you may need them."

Anaïs

Philadelphia, PA, USA, Music Teacher and Singer

"There is too much to say. I will simply express my gratitude for all the learning - from our faculty to the cohort and even, heck, to myself. I am grateful for Rachel's love of anatomy, David's guidance in helping discover the pelvic floor, Fiji's chakra knowledge , and Tracey's simple approach to yoga philosophy. I have loved every minute of it. I am looking forward to letting it all soak in and when I practice any of the amazing parts of yoga, notice all the little new things I know, see them grow and smile."

Kate

Paramedic and Yoga Teacher, London, England

"I want to share how grateful I am to all the team for making this course such a positive experience. I have learned so much and my confidence and teaching ability have rocketed. I now teach more than once a week and my student base is growing. The amount if support I have received from faculty throughout the course has been superb. Special mention to Rachel. Her teaching style is excellent, and her enthusiasm infectious. This is a fine lineage to come from. Best wishes and many thanks"

Julie

Pharmacist, TN, USA

"DYWM Teacher Training has helped me to deepen my personal practice through gaining a better foundation in all aspects of yoga - the history, anatomy, meditation, pranayama, and higher/spiritual aspects. The courses have provided me with the tools to begin teaching calming meditations and crafting a class for students through effective cuing and sequencing while focusing on each student's unique anatomy. Being part of a cohort has allowed me stay on track with my coursework and provided a group of peers to learn, share, and grow with. Thanks so much for this training"

Renee

Saskatchewan, Canada

"I started this program back in September because I felt I needed to challenge myself and I wanted to learn more about yoga. I am so incredibly grateful to the amazing teachers who have shared their gifts and knowledge through all of the courses in the program. I have enjoyed learning about yoga's history, the connection to anatomy, the subtle body and how it all ties together on the mat. I certainly got to work outside my comfort zone in creating the videos for the assessment! I am also grateful for my fellow students and seeing your learning journeys in your reflections. I look forward to continuing to learn! Thank you!"
