“I owe much of who I am as a teacher today to Wendy Atteberry--who is not only a gifted yogini, but also a wonderful teacher. She truly modeled for me how to live life on the mat and off; and, how to bring that knowledge to others. I learned the physical techniques as well as how to take students to a deeper level of self exploration and peace.” -Wendy C
"Wendy brings fun and encouragement to her teacher training along with an amazing knowledge and understanding of yoga poses and philosophy. She is a wonderful role model in how to teach a yoga class. She makes sure that by the end of her trainings her trainees are able to create and teach unique and inspiring yoga classes. "

Teacher Training
The BSY Teaching Training Program is aligned with the original teachings of yoga where the practice transcends the mat by viewing our daily life as a laboratory in which to embody and affirm the 8-limbed path. The training will begin with an in-depth study of the history and philosophies of yoga. You will immediately be inspired and supported to develop a yogic lifestyle represented in every pose of your life. You will begin sharing, offering and teaching from the first step. Through this program you will build the courage to ask the questions of your heart, develop the receptivity to listen, grow the strength to speak your truth and feel well versed in complimenting a variety of teaching methodologies with your authentic offering of vinyasa flow yoga.
A deeper commitment to the study of your self and to the path of yoga will be cultivated through the exploration of:
Asana-Pranayama-Vinyasa Flow Sequencing-Meditation-Adjusting-Assisting-Ethics-Philosophy-Accommodating ALL populations-Anatomy and Physiology-Sanskrit-Lifestyle choices-The Universal Principles of Alignment
The program will include comprehensive mentorship and support by Wendy and other instructors to assist you in your personal journey.

It is appropriate for yoga teachers, those preparing to teach yoga and those wanting to make a deeper commitment to self-exploration and discovery. We all have something to offer, allow the BSY Teacher Training Program to support you in remembering and sharing your gifts!
