Mindfulness and the Eightfold Path is a foundational teacher training designed for aspiring teachers, or those simply wishing to deepen their own practice and learn healthy lifestyle habits.

Breaking free of negative samskara (habits); and becoming a yoga teacher by exploring your own sankulpa (inner desire) and shaping the life you were meant to live.

“WYC’s Mindfulness & The Eight Fold Path YTT has meaningfully changed my life for the better. I feel qualified to make this statement, as it is not the first 200hr YTT I have taken. The lessons learned through this YTT cannot fit inside of a review. I initially signed up to take this training because I wanted to teach yoga again, after some time away from teaching. This training not only taught me how to be a more excellent teacher, but an excellent human. Even if I never teach another yoga class, I will still feel that this training is one of the most meaningful experiences I have had in my life. I sincerely feel that anyone who takes this training will be so much better for it.”

Testimonials + Graduates

“This course was truly life changing. Offering Patanjali’s framework for living via the Eightfold path provided me better insight into not only my yoga practice but into myself, others, and how the world operates. Truly a blueprint for living” – 2023 Graduate

“Started yoga for the physical practice. I wanted to take this program for personal and spiritual growth. The program could not be more perfect. It was life changing for me. This course gave me the tools and desire for sitting. Learning the asana poses and their benefits. Then team is amazing, such a gift to have their guidance.” – 2023 Graduate

“This was the most informative and explorative course that I have ever attended. I learned so much about all of the aspects of yoga, not just the physical practice. I hope that others will attend so others can bring it our into the world. Much gratitude to everyone involved in creating this course.” – 2022 Graduate

“The atmosphere created by Frances and Jamie has been perfect to learn/grow/heal. Frances is such a master of guiding discussion, the lesson plan was expertly crafted. Growing with this Sangha has changed my life” – 2024 Graduate

“I was skeptical when told the training would change my life- midway through our life claims like that are difficult to believe. But this was a truly transforming. Most people say something like ‘I don’t think I have in me what it takes to do a training even though I would love to’, to which I say any self doubts are addressed in the material and one miraculously meets and conquer them” – 2024 Graduate
