Ready for some collab and community? BDY’s 200-hour Teacher Training kicks off in September 🍁

In its simplest form, the BDY/Yoga Vibe YTT is 10 weekends of immersing yourself in the practice of yoga. But if you dig below the surface, that’s where the juicy stuff is. Like learning ALOT about yourself and how you relate to others through the art of collaboration. Peeling away the layers by digging deep and discovering things you never knew about yourself. Finding and making new friendships that can last a lifetime. And if transformation is what you’re looking for, you’ll find that too 🦋

The Fall ‘24 session, held in conjunction with our space , meets Friday nights and Saturday/ Sunday days, led by , and .matthews, along with an incredibly talented faculty 🤓 Early bird registration ends August 1st if you want to save some bucks and yes, payment plans are available 💸 If you’re new to BDY or Yoga Vibe, let us know and we’ll set you up for a free class with Larry, Amy or Sigrid to get an idea of what we’re all about. Find out more either by DM’g here or hitting us on email at [email protected] 📧
