Scroll through Instagram for 30 seconds and you’ll see more yoga teachers than you can shake a mala at.
Perfectly lit photos, gravity-defying arm balances, quotes in elegant fonts about “finding your center.” It’s beautiful, sure. But do we need another yoga teacher?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: absolutely yes—if you’re coming from the right place.
The truth is, the world doesn’t need more yoga teachers who can mimic shapes without understanding their purpose, recite philosophy without embodying it, or read from a script that sounds like it was downloaded from a “Yoga Teacher Starter app”. .
What the world does need are teachers who are authentic and brave enough to teach from their own lived experience—messy, beautiful, and real. Teachers who understand that yoga isn’t just about the 75 minutes on the mat—it’s about how you show up in every other minute of your life.
Training to Teach, Learning to Live
That’s the point of the Burning Wheel Yoga School’s 200-hour teacher training. We’re not here to produce cookie-cutter instructors. We’re here to awaken the teacher who’s already in you—the one who can’t be replicated, who already carries the seeds of wisdom from every struggle, every joy, every strange twist of your life story.
You’ll teach from day one—not because we expect perfection, but because real growth comes from doing, fumbling, adjusting, and doing again. You’ll wrestle with philosophy, not memorize it. You’ll learn anatomy in a way that makes you actually get the body you’re working with, not just parrot Latin words. You’ll be encouraged to explore your own niche, whether that’s chanting, sequencing, hands-on assists, meditation, or something you can’t even name yet.
And here’s the thing: you don’t have to want to teach full-time to take this leap. Maybe you just want to deepen your practice, get to the root of yoga beyond the pretty shapes, or stand in front of a room once in your life and know what it feels like to lead. That’s valid. That’s enough.
Not unless it’s you, embodied and ready to stand in the truth of your own practice.
