START YOUR JOURNEY

Who is this training for?

You’re ready to deepen your relationship with yourself to expand your compassion and kindness and acceptance of YOU

You are excited to deepen your personal practice or you’re interested in sharing yoga with your community

You are a current teacher ready to expand your offerings and experience

You wish to lead compelling, transformative retreats, workshops, and classes in your community

Why Online Study?

 

I have trained hundreds of yoga teachers around the world, I remember scrubbing toilets at the first studio I trained at trying to earn the funds to fulfill my heart's desire to bring this practice I love into the world. 

My programs can run upwards of $5,000 and I wanted to create a way for ANYONE to train with me. 

I have operated in person teacher trainings for years and one of the pitfalls is remembrance. You simply cannot retain everything you learn. This program allows you to hit the pause button, to rewind, rewatch, and re-engage as often as you need to. You'll have ongoing access to Selena's virtual course after the completion of your life sessions and access to your live session recordings for 1 year. 

I am committed to excellence in education and you get that in this program the same way you would in person with me. 

Live classes, lectures, and practice teaching opportunities in a network of support for 6 months while you move through the program plus two 1:1 privates with Selena will set you up with a strong foundation to begin sharing the practice. 

Upon completion of the program you'll have ongoing access to occasional alumni gatherings and live stream classes when available. 

I believe yoga is for everyone. 

And I've got you. 

Come hang with us.

Why Choose a  Virtual Training?

This is a dense course packed with information you won't get in any other 200 hour. It's all the material I wish I had received when I started my journey as a yoga instructor. You're not expected to get it all at once.

Here are some of the benefits to a self-paced, totally virtual training:

  • Stress-free learning: It's learning at YOUR pace and on YOUR schedule while still having accountability and presence. 
  • Unlimited time to integrate. Yoga is DEEP and understanding the philosophy takes more than a few weeks or even months. With this course you have a lifetime to keep diving back into the virtual course*
  • Flexibility. Put on a video while you do other tasks! No need to sit in front of the computer while you learn. 
  • Affordability. Because it is structured this way we can give it to you at a more accessible price
  • Minimal time off work to complete your training
  • Take as long as you need to learn and practice with your friends
  • Ongoing support! Lifetime access to occasional calls so you can get help once you start teaching!
  • Pause, rewind, skip things when they're frustrating and come back later. It's YOUR learning.  

You have your whole life to keep coming back and getting MORE from this course. 

 

 

Our 200 hour teacher training is full spectrum foundation to what will be a lifetime of investigation of this beautiful body of knowledge

 

Our online yoga teacher training provides an opportunity to deepen your practice and understanding of the yoga tradition and to build the skills and techniques to offer these teachings back out into the world.

This comprehensive teacher training will give you a strong foundation in yogic philosophy, theory and practice through a combination, live stream calls with Selena, two 1:1 sessions, video and audio content, handouts, supplementary reading, detailed materials to guide your process, and a global facebook group to practice and connect with your peers and former graduates.

Oh hey! There are HEAPS of bonus lectures with amazing guest teachers. A session on trauma-informed yoga, anti-racism in the yoga space with a rad student of mine, a guest lecture with my teacher Dr. Douglas Brooks, and other goodness.

Honoring that there are are many lineages, many ways to be, teach, live, and seek. All are welcome here.

The WeEvolve Method™ will teach you a range of practices from vinyasa yoga to restorative, hathayoga nidra, meditation, breathwork, and other practices to enrich your experience on and off the mat.

Ultimately we don’t do yoga to be good at yoga. We do yoga to better our lives.

Whether you are intending to teach or just craving more depth in your personal practice, this training is a transformational experience that will teach you to ask questions, to stay connected to your inner compass, and to lean into practice.

Ultimately practice is the teacher.
