"The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is now." -- Anonymous

While much of the world is shut down for Coronavirus, you might be wondering if this is the right time to begin your Yoga Teacher Training program. Here are three reasons why now is the perfect time to start your online YTT.

• You have free time. Maybe you’ve been furloughed or laid off. Maybe you have extra time because your university or college has been closed. Or maybe you just find you have extra time because your weekly church, sport, or club event has been postponed. The good news is you can use this extra time to FINALLY DO THE THING YOU’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT. You know that once we go back to “regular life,” we’re going to lose this blessing of time. So use it now while you have and make your dreams come true.

• Everyone has moved online. Along with Yoga Alliance, many yoga teacher training programs across the world have moved from the studio to the internet....

Thank you to Richy who suggested today’s video in the YouTube comments!! Turns out a lot of you loathe Chaturanga Dandasana, so we created a vinyasa flow for you with the perfect replacement.

Our latest YouTube video is a vinyasa-less vinyasa I'm calling  ZERO CHATURANGA FLOW  and it was shot in a super-secret spot in NYC. Can you guess where this is? (I might just tell you at the end of  the vid)!

This "Vinyasa-less Vinyasa" is designed for YOU if you want a zero chaturanga vinyasa flow. Sore wrists? Gaining upper body strength? Just don't like them? We've got you. The sequence replaces the famous "vinyasa" with a down dog, child's pose and plank pose.

Today's class will have you working with:

 Twisted High Lunge 
 Extended Twisted Low Lunge 
 Vinyasa flow consisting of Down Dog and Child's Pose

In-person trainings can be 30 full days in person or numerous weekends over a year. They often run...

Jewel here, the owner and lead instructor of Become Yoga School. As I write this blog, we are entering month 6 of the Covid-19 Quarantine of 2020. I have been fortunate enough to use this time well. I built the entirety of the 200 Hour Online YTT course offering of Become Yoga School. After teaching online classes at NEOU and signing up for the Talent Hack's Digital Business Accelerator, I was able to take my 5 weekly group classes to Zoom and start unlimited memberships for Rock Solid: Pilates and Rock Solid: Yoga. I was able to build a mailing list (with direction from Jess Glazer), create community in my Instagram (thanks, Jera Foster-Fell) and went on to work with marketing guru, Arielle Shingles to grow my own online yoga course, Become Yoga School.

I'm grateful that I can take my studio classes and sessions to an online format, but what I take a strong...
