Program details
For committed students who have already attained 200-hr yoga teacher training, BambooMoves offers a unique and highly selective yoga apprenticeship program. BambooMoves apprenticeships are ideal for individuals looking to become better teachers by first learning to be good students. Pair with a BambooMoves master teacher for a three month journey of study, dialogue, and learning by doing. We only offer three apprenticeship spots each year, so don’t miss your opportunity to sit close to a seasoned yoga teacher and to listen, learn, and grow your practice in this unique way.
All apprenticeships are custom-tailored to the needs and desires of the student, with the master teacher guiding and supporting the apprentice as they grow into the role of yoga teacher. Committing to the three-month program allows the apprentice to mature their practice organically, taking regular classes as a student and observe-assisting in others. Ongoing discussions with the master teacher on sequencing, adjustments, prop usage, and more, combined with teaching opportunities for the apprentice in live classes provides natural learning environment that traditional yoga teacher training courses cannot match.
