About Teacher Trainings

Take your love of Let Your Yoga Dance one step further by becoming a certified Let Your Yoga Dance instructor.

Let Your Yoga Dance Teacher Training is a powerful, joyous training. Megha has trained teachers for over thirty-five years; she has developed her own unique strength-based training methods which inspire rather than demean, enrich rather than frighten, and delight her students. Her intention is to build strength, spirit, and confidence in each one of her trainees so that they experience their unique brilliance. Then - in turn - they offer their gifts back out to the world.  The training is an inquiry into becoming the very best Let Your Yoga Dance instructor you can be.
 
Trainees get to know their body and the chakras in a brand new way. Their relationship to music will never be the same. Students will experience the art of becoming a transformational teacher. The training creates safe, brave, and sacred space in a loving environment. Trainees will receive a myriad of tools during the training, and will continue to get tools and support long after graduation, thanks to the excellent Let Your Yoga Dance Teacher's Association.
 
Let Your Yoga Dance Teacher Training is offered as a two-part in-person training, as well as a 3-weekend online training via Zoom. See below to learn more.

Live Trainings

​Live trainings are taught in two parts at venues like Kripalu Center and Megha’s home studio in the Berkshires of MA. Both modules are required to complete the training.

Let Your Yoga Dance Module 1

Mod 1 is all about the science and method of Let Your Yoga Dance and its applications, as well as creating a transformative community based in kindness, compassion, boldness, and joy. You will learn (through some lecture and vast experience) all about the chakra system and how it relates to a Let Your Yoga Dance class. You will dance through the chakras and receive a tremendous music library. You’ll learn how different pieces of music relate to each chakra. In fact, your relationship with music will never be the same! You’ll also study the yogic codes of conduct, the Yamas and the Niyamas, along with the character strengths of Positive Psychology. You’ll discover how a Let Your Yoga Dance class starts slowly, builds to great joy, then slows
down once again into Dance Prayer and Relaxation. Our yoga, meditation in motion, combines both Indian and Chinese yoga: qigong.

 

To become certified, Module 1 must be taken first, then followed by Module 2.


Let Your Yoga Dance Module 2

Mod 2 is an outgrowth of the chakra-yoga-dance-music-movement methodology that is learned in Mod 1. You will practice at home between the two modules. When you return to complete the training, you will lead a Let Your Yoga Dance class for a small group of three people. This learning environment is under the umbrella of compassion for self and for one another.

 

No competition. Kindness is key. Mod 2 will help you gain confidence and the tools you need to succeed in bringing this lovely practice out to the world. The graduation ceremony, complete with diploma certifying you as a Let Your Yoga Dance instructor, is deeply moving.

Let Your Yoga Dance Weekend 1

Weekend 1 is all about the science and method of Let Your Yoga Dance and its applications, as well as creating a transformative community based in kindness, compassion, boldness, and joy. You will learn (through some lecture and vast experience) all about the chakra system and how it relates to a Let Your Yoga Dance class. You will dance through the chakras and receive a tremendous music library. You’ll also study the yogic codes of conduct, the Yamas and the Niyamas, along with the character strengths of Positive Psychology.


Let Your Yoga Dance Weekend 2

Weekend 2 is an outgrowth of the chakra-yoga-dance-music-movement methodology that is learned in Weekend 1. You will learn the art of dance prayer, and moving meditations, and how to lead them. You will learn the science of practice teaching and self-mentoring, while gaining confidence and all the tools you need to be a teacher. This learning environment is under the umbrella of compassion for self and for other, the ancient codes of yogic conduct: the yamas and niyamas. No competition. Kindness is key.


Let Your Yoga Dance Weekend 3

This is graduation weekend! Over the month break, you will be practicing for a final practice teach class that you will lead for three other people during this weekend. It is fun and delightful! After the final teach on Saturday, we will focus on marketing and Zoom skills for those of you who wish to teach on Zoom. On Sunday, the graduation ceremony, complete with diploma certifying you as a Let Your Yoga Dance instructor, is deeply moving.

 

Between Weekend 2 and 3, there will be three special zoom Q&A sessions dedicated to going deeper into your process of learning to be a Let Your Yoga Dance instructor. These three events are included in your tuition.

What People Are Saying

"This training on Zoom was spectacular! I truthfully did not think it could work half as well not being in person, but I was so wrong. From the moment we started, it felt like we were all together in a group, and I received more than I ever imagined. This training is far more than learning how to be an instructor, it is transformational! Highly recommended."
