Fierce Grace Teacher Training NYC

Following the success of our UK Teacher Training courses, which have certified hundreds of teachers, we're excited to announce our Yoga Alliance accredited Teacher Training is coming stateside, led by Fierce Grace founder Michele Pernetta and Senior Teacher Mark Oram.

Our successful NYC studio opened two years ago, and with expansion on the horizon, we have opportunities for teachers in the USA, as well as New Zealand, Australia, Italy, UK, and further afield. FG offers work prospects across our expanding studio network with 23 outlets in 12 countries.

We are looking for motivated, passionate people who are willing to do what it takes to become inspirational teachers. Humble, hardworking and brave individuals who will push their boundaries, so they can help others move past theirs.

Graduates will have two different classes under their belt. Post-graduation other inspiring classes form part of our graduate continual development, enabling FG teachers to expand their skills in deep stretch, Yin, physiotherapy/yoga rehab, injury modifications, strength and stamina classes, as well as advanced classes. This allows teachers to remain within an integrated system whilst widening their teaching repertoire.

Join the expanding Fierce Grace community, learn from two of the most experienced teachers in the UK and embark on a course with some of the best career prospects in the yoga world.

ABOUT THE COURSE

This 3-week 200hr Yoga Alliance accredited intensive allows you to take classes, workshops and lectures in our bustling Lower East Side studio, as well as in a classroom setting. You will be taught by two of the UK's most senior teachers, with over 40 years’ teaching experience combined. Supremely practical, the course is focused on teaching skills and you will be up and teaching in the first week. The course is based on our decades of teaching experience and develops the skills required to work in mixed-level busy studios. We pride ourselves in creating a supportive, nurturing environment for learning.

Our yoga method is inclusive and designed for all levels, meaning we are especially focused on the importance of injury modification in a class setting. Practice and observe our senior teachers instruct and interact with students in a mixed-level class setting. Work on your voice and delivery skills, philosophy, anatomy, meditation and breath. We run workshops and classes to individually correct your alignment, teach you how to effectively correct students, develop your teaching techniques whilst deepening your knowledge of anatomy and injury modification. During your time off, enjoy bustling Manhattan and the lively Lower East Side.
