Nectar Yoga Studio is happy to be able to help pass the teaching of Yoga down to the next generation of teachers. Over the course of these 200+ contact hours you will learn about the yoga from the physical, philosophical, energetic and spiritual perspectives. The program will be led by Kate Goodyear & Megan Mayer with a strong, knowledgeable and experienced team of teachers including: Megan McGuirk, Ashley Rathman, John Vitarelli, Daniel Cordua, Rachel Hoppenstein, Nancy Elias, Chae Yang and Megan Webb.
This training is limited to 15 people.
