Stepping into an Open Heart; What’s Special about Wild Thing School of Yoga Teacher Training

What’s in a Name?

Wild Thing isn’t just fun to say, its a way of approaching the world. Just like its namesake pose, Camatkarasana, it places the body in a way which exposes the heart to the wide sky and unfolds the body into openness. Openness can be a challenging place to always act from; but it is a key foundation to forming life-giving connections with each other, our environment, and ourselves. In bringing Wild Thing School of Yoga into being, my intention was simple. To combine academic excellence, ancient wisdom, and modern scientific knowledge and allow passionate yogi’s to share what they love most about the spiritual and physical practice of yoga in order to equip those ready to take their practice further. Whether or not you want to expand your knowledge in mind or body or learn how to step into the role of a successful and confident yoga teacher, Wild Thing School of Yoga has a unique offering.

Uncover your Own Approach

The Wild Thing School of Yoga approach is fresh and dynamic. Along with teaching you how to teach; we invite you to uncover your own approach. By providing you with tools for how to create and hold space for students, adjust with consent, experience your own body flow through poses, and see physiology and anatomy as guides for understanding alignment in poses. Discover your strengths, start teaching right away from day one, and prepare for success with guided tutorials on yoga as a profession. Wild Thing School of Yoga 200YTT is Yoga Alliance Registered.

Firm Foundations

Wild Thing’s Training starts with base level poses which build into more complex movement. Through experience, knowledge is layered by exploring muscle movement, subtle motion, and how movements link together to create flow. We are proud of our focus on myth-busting through teaching firm anatomical technical sense to future teachers. We believe that once the foundation of poses is understood; fluidity and the construction of poses naturally follows. Assessing Yoga as a profession means preparing for success. One component we felt strongly about including in our teacher training is the basics of business acumen. We’ve worked with experts in the field to cover important but often overlooked topics such as business registration, strategy, and legal and liability information.

Individuals in Community

We are not islands. A strong and nurturing community connection can shift us towards alignment with our values and help us thrive. The Wild Thing School of Yoga is dedicated to fostering strong connections based on the unique offerings each individual brings; not competitiveness or mastery for the sake of ticking off boxes. These values result in a personalized approach that encourages each student to explore what scares them, brave the vulnerability of challenges, and be proactive with possibilities. Joining our class means an introduction to yogi’s in the greater San Antonio area who serve as Master Guides to distinct sections of the curriculum. Our goal is that you graduate confident with the skills you need to succeed in an skilled practice or the instructing of others in yoga safely and effectively. Our desire is that you leave our training with a deepened knowledge of what awakens your heart and firmer commitment to reach for it. Join us on a guided journey; adventure to your own destination Wild Thing School of Yoga.
