PEOPLE DON'T START TEACHER TRAINING
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TEACH
they start because something in their practice changes
A class where their mind finally slows down...
A sequence that shifts how their body feels for the rest of the day...
A teacher who says something that stays with them.
And then something frustrating happens! You start noticing how much you don’t understand.
Teachers reference philosophy in passing.
Concepts like chakras or the subtle body come up but never get fully explained.
You leave class with fragments of something deeper… but no way to put it together.
At some point, curiosity turns into something else:
You don’t just want to practice yoga.
You want to understand it.
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Sadie has been teaching yoga since 2008 across nearly every context you can imagine: hatha, vinyasa, gentle, prenatal, postnatal, kids, chair, adaptive.
With over 1,000 hours of training and 1,500+ hours of teaching, her work isn’t theoretical; it’s tested, refined, and built in real rooms with real people.
You don’t need someone to impress you. You need someone who actually sees you.
If you’ve ever left a class with more questions than answers… or felt like something important was just out of reach… you’re not wrong for wanting more.
Sadie has been in that space, and she’s spent years learning how to guide people through it. But what matters most isn’t just what she’s done. It’s how she teaches.
She’s the kind of guide who notices what others miss, who listens closely, who helps you find your own understanding instead of handing you something to memorize.
Over 60 of her graduates have gone on to teach, open studios, write books, and integrate this work into everything from professional practices to caring for their families.
Not because they were trying to become someone else but because they were finally given the space to become more fully themselves.
That’s the difference here.
You’re not being asked to fit into a mould.
You’re being guided—clearly, patiently, and honestly—toward the depth you’ve been sensing all along.
THE THRESHOLD
Most teacher trainings are designed to get you certified quickly.
Threshold & Temple is designed to help you actually understand what you’re doing.
Yes, you’ll learn postures. But more importantly, you’ll learn how breath, movement, attention, and philosophy work together and how to apply that in real bodies, with real people.
You won’t memorize sequences. You’ll understand how to build them.
You won’t repeat or parrot cues. You’ll know why they matter.
Some graduates go on to teach. Others return to their lives with a deeper, more grounded practice. Both leave with something far more valuable than a certificate:
-
clarity in their practice
-
confidence in their understanding
Because the purpose of training isn’t just to teach yoga.
It’s to actually live it.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This training develops the knowledge and confidence required to guide yoga responsibly.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Build intelligent sequences that develop stability, mobility, and awareness
-
Understand anatomy so you know what’s happening in the body—not just shapes
-
Observe students and adapt in real time
-
Give clear, effective verbal guidance
-
Teach with confidence through consistent, supported practice
Alongside practical skills, you’ll study:
-
Yogic philosophy and its real-world application
-
Breathwork and meditation
-
How to connect modern practice to its deeper roots
The goal isn’t information.
It’s competence, clarity, and confidence.
TEACHER TRAINING IS NOT A
DROP-IN EXPERIENCE
you don't come & go
You become part of a small group exploring this work together over time.
Our sessions include guided asana practices, breathwork, and meditation. Some hours are spent around a whiteboard unpacking concepts. Other moments are quiet and reflective. There are passionate discussions, reflective journaling, and plenty of laughter when things get weird or confusing.
You’ll practice teaching each other. You’ll ask questions you’ve carried for years. You’ll start to see how the pieces of yoga fit together.
By the end of the program, most students say the same thing.
They feel like yoga finally makes sense.
A CLEAR PATH INTO THE DEPTH
YOU'VE BEEN CIRCLING
step by step, in real time
From October 2026 through June 2027, we’ll meet every second weekend. Saturdays from 8 am to 2 pm, we'll explore the theory and philosophy of Yoga. Sundays from 9 am to 12 pm, we'll share practice followed by a posture lab.
Threshold & Temple is designed to meet you where you are and walk you, steadily and intentionally, into the kind of understanding you can actually live and share.
We begin at the threshold... where curiosity, hesitation, and readiness exist all at once. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You only need to step in.
Inside that container, the experience deepens.
You’ll move beyond surface-level learning into real exploration—of practice, philosophy, subtle body, and voice. Not rushed. Not crammed. But layered in a way that lets things actually land.
And because this is intentionally kept small—just eight people—you won’t get lost in the background.
You’ll be seen. Heard. Challenged. Supported.
There’s space here for your questions. Your process. Your way of making sense of it all.
By the end, you won’t just have “completed a training.”
You’ll have crossed a threshold—and built something steady enough to carry with you long after you leave the room.
from where you are & where you want to be

NOT SURE YET?
feel it yourself before you decide
If you’ve been sitting on this for a while—wondering if it’s the right time, the right training, the right fit—this is your chance to step inside without the pressure of committing.
Join us on Sunday, September 13th for a free, in-person information session designed to give you a taste of what this experience feels like.
You won’t just hear about the training; you’ll experience it.
We’ll move through a short, guided practice together, and then slow it all the way down to unpack what just happened—looking at it through the lens of anatomy, energetics, sequencing, and seasonal awareness.
You’ll start to see how much is actually happening beneath the surface of a single class and what it means to truly understand it.
It’s also a chance to ask your questions, meet others who’ve been quietly considering this too, and feel into what it’s like to be in the room as a trainee.
No pressure. No expectations. Just a clear, honest way to explore what’s been calling you.
Spots for the session are limited. Save Yours Now.

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
here's what's frequently asked
1. What if I don't want to teach yoga?
You don't have to teach yoga. Some enter this training knowing they want to teach. Most don't: They want to understand their practice more deeply and find meaning on and off the mat.
2. I'm not advanced/ flexible/ strong. Can I still attend?
YES. Feeling advanced, flexible, or strong — those are side effects of yoga, not prerequisites for sustained study. You need a desire & a drive to go deeper into meaningful practice. This isn’t about performing more complicated shapes. It’s about understanding what you’re doing and why.
3. Is the program registered with Yoga Alliance?
No. And that’s intentional. Yoga Alliance is a U.S.-based registry, not a governing body. And here in Canada, yoga remains an unregulated industry. Rather than design this training around bare-minimum, hour-based categories, we designed it to build real competence. Ten hours of anatomy doesn’t automatically create understanding. Logging philosophy hours doesn’t guarantee integration. Time spent isn’t the same as skill developed. Yoga Alliance tracks hours... We focus on whether you can actually teach. That’s the standard that matters.
4. What does the schedule look like?
Our Fall cohort has a steady structure that leaves room for real life.
Two weekends each month from October 3rd, 2026 to June 27, 2027
Saturday | 8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Sunday morning | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
5. What happens if I miss a session or fall behind?
Consistent attendance matters. We also know life happens, so we built in some "wiggle room" for those surprise moments (and that road trip you planned last year). If the need arises, there are structured ways to make up for missed hours or review tough concepts.
6. How do the payment plans work?
Tuition is $2300. To secure your place, a $500 deposit is required. The remaining balance can be divided up between your sign-up date and June 2027.
You can choose:
-
Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payments
-
Equal lump sums
Many students align payments with their paydays to make it simple and manageable.
7. Why only 8 spots?
Cove is cozy by design. We know the size of the cohort can make or break your experience. A cap of 8 means you’ll be seen, your questions won’t get lost, and it means your voice is heard. It's intimate enough to open the direct line of communication between student and teacher. Traditionally, this is the way the transmission of this wisdom has always been done: in discussion.
