NOBLE Yoga 50-hour Yin Teacher Training

Noble is committed to providing the highest level of yogic education to each one of our trainees, with real-time and personalized feedback on their practice and instructional style. Each student-teacher completing our training will have been provided a strong foundation and knowledge in yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, and sequencing. Through hands on experiences and practice teaching within the program, the learner will be guided to find their own unique voice as an authentic and empathetic teacher confident in the material and primed to be attuned to prospective yogis they will guide going forward.

Vulnerability is a key tenet of Noble’s teaching and community philosophy. Providing learning materials, class experiences and an environment where student-teachers can feel safe in their individual process, as well as empowered and encouraged by the learning experience is a crucial part of our intention as a teaching studio.

We are very excited to share our training and cultivate a strong community of practitioners and teachers alike, who will continue to pass on this incredible practice and culture of empathy.

“The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.”

  • "My experience with Noble’s teacher training was nothing short of transformative"

    I enrolled simply to deepen my practice but came away with a greater appreciation for yoga’s philosophy, the human body, and the art of teaching. Dolly’s passion for teaching is palpable. She is not just teaching her students; she is sculpting new teachers. The curriculum is well-rounded and thoughtfully designed; each practice builds on theory and encourages experiential learning. All the teachers are supportive, committed, and passionate about nurturing growth. It is a safe space to explore vulnerability and cultivate self-discovery. Whether you choose to teach or not, I highly recommend YTT at Noble. It will expand your horizons and deepen your connection to yoga and self; I am so grateful to have started my teaching journey there.
