These Three Weeks Will Change Your Life.

One of the things I always hear from people who have graduated from my training programs is, "This program changed my life." Everyone says it for a different reason, but the sentiment is the same. This program is TRANSFORMATIONAL.

Yoga Teacher Training has helped people build confidence in movement after an injury, deepen their spiritual practice, helped people heal relationships, gain self confidence, find a life-long bff, change careers, and more. I can't tell you what little miracle you will experience through this program, but I can tell you it will be worth it.  When you sign up for Yoga Teacher Training with Kintsugi Yoga, you are welcomed into a community that accepts you for who you are and will walk this path with you through darkness and light. We are here for it all.

PLUS, did we mention that we will spend THREE glorious weeks in Bocas del Toro, Panama where the jungle meets the sea? What are you waiting for?!

Investment

Investing in yoga teacher training goes beyond learning to teach—it’s a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and deepened practice. While you might sign up expecting to refine your poses and gain teaching skills, you end up with so much more: a stronger mind-body connection, lifelong friendships, personal empowerment, and tools for emotional resilience. The time, energy, and resources you put in return far more than a certification; they unlock a profound shift in how you move through life, embodying the principles of yoga both on and off the mat. We can't wait to support you on this journey!

"I had practiced yoga asana inconsistently, on and off for about 5 years before finding a home base at Cat’s studio. I ended up joining the 200 hour YTT cohort after being involved in the community for a few months and it had widely changed my life. My health soared, my confidence beamed, and my goals became more grounded and clear. The training itself was so much more than just practicing the physical asanas (however, my personal practice jumped leaps and bounds); The spirituality and connectedness I had with myself and others was profound during this YTT. The knowledge, support, and disciplined Cat provided was exceptional and her training went beyond my expectations. She is a mentor and a friend for life, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to set any aspiring yogi up for success."

  • Issa, 2023 YTT Graduate

"I was lucky to have Cat train me during my 200 hour YTT. It was a life changing experience for me to learn from and with her. Cat has a gift of making each of her students feel seen and valued, while also pushing us to dig deeper and challenge ourselves. Her depth of knowledge and teaching skills are top notch. I cannot recommend Cat highly enough and would encourage anyone interested in one of her trainings to take the leap. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Cat, for having a hugely positive impact on my life and yoga practice."

  • Kelly, 2020 YTT Graduate

"I hadn't thought about doing 200 YTT until I met Cat. Knowing how mindful, intentional and open Cat is as a teacher, I knew that her training would embody those same values. I had no intention of becoming a yoga teacher but to just enjoy this experience, deepening my practice and to learn more about myself. Cat has created something beautiful for her students; a safe place to learn and share without judgement, strong supportive mentors and an incredible journey of self discovery. Not only did I learn everything I was hoping to learn from a technical standpoint, I have pushed myself further than I thought possible. So beyond grateful to Cat and her team."

Shanti, 2023 Graduate

Embarking on Cat’s Yoga Teacher Training was a game-changer. Under her guidance, I didn’t just learn to teach yoga—I uncovered a deeper connection to my practice and a newfound confidence.

Fast forward four months post-graduation I found myself leading a bilingual class at the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Amphitheater for Yoga On The Rocks also under Cat’s mentorship. This dream-turned-reality speaks volumes about Cat’s incredible training.

Her passion and expertise created an environment that fostered not just learning but personal growth. Cat’s teachings continue to empower me on and off the mat. Forever grateful for this transformative journey!

Blerta, 2021 Graduate

I am not an individual that belives on luck, but rather in miracles. Cat was the miracle I needed in order to transform my life. While today I am not a yoga teavher in a studio, I am a yogi advising a prime minister. Thanks to Cat’d dedication and expertise, I was able to release blocked channels within me that kept me from expressing my fullest potential.

Chanty, 2020 Graduate

Cat is the reason yoga became my passion! When I knew nothing about it, she introduced me to this incredible practice, and her teachings made me absolutely fall in love with it. She's not just a mentor; she's been my rock. Cat saw my dream to teach, and she's poured hours of her time into shaping me into the yoga teacher I am today. Her support during my 200-hour and 300-hour training was everything. Now, I live and breathe yoga, teaching with all my heart and always learning. Cat has been by my side, sharing her wisdom every step of the way. I'm forever grateful for her guidance as a person, a student, and now, a teacher. I can't recommend Cat's training enough—it's life-changing! Her dedication to passing on her knowledge is amazing, and she's made this journey an incredible experience.
