Enhance your Teaching Skills
We are a yoga school for yoga teachers. We offer one on one mentoring for new teachers in English and Spanish. We find that many people leave their 200 YTT needing a support bridge between what they learned and how to apply that as a teacher. We help teachers build their teaching toolkits, find their voice, and how to skillfully and thoughtfully plan yoga classes that are engaging and appropriate for their individual students.
We also offer Continuing Education (CE) workshops accredited with Yoga Alliance®. Be sure to follow us on Instagram for our updated workshop schedule.
Behind the Name
UP is short for union and peace. Yoga can be translated to union. One of our goals as yoga instructors is to unite body, mind, and spirit. We want to help our students feel peace in the present moment, and help cultivate deep self discovery and connection.
We also value a strong community of yoga teachers. We believe there are students for every teacher, as each teacher has a unique gift and style that they bring to their students. We strive to support our teachers in creating and fulfilling their career goals and lifting each other UP.
