300hr YogaBloom® Advanced Teacher Training Certification is Yoga Alliance approved for Registered Yoga Teacher certification at 500RYT levels. Yoga Bloom was developed with an appreciation and desire to honor the wisdom and breadth of the spiritual tradition of Yoga. It is important to carry on tradition and provide an opportunity for yogis to practice and share the extraordinary teachings in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Cora Wen, RYT 500 has 40 years of Buddhist practice and 20 years teaching Yoga. She has assisted the most senior teachers in the US, and been featured in leading international Yoga conferences. Her teaching philosophy is safe, inclusive and playful. She respects and honors tradition, while encouraging an individualistic, modern and fun approach to Yoga.
Certification generally requires 10-18 months, but time varies dependent on curriculum, and personal motivation of self study – Svadhyaya. This ease and flexibility works for modern lifestyles and bridges some of the gaps between theory and practice, between practicing on the mat and practicing in the world, and between learning and living as a whole.
YogaBloom® encourages and assists in developing skills to create exceptional teachers and practitioners who embody Yoga. We will do our part to support and grow a community of yogis who lead and inspire others in the traditions and ideals of living in non-violence.
