Teacher Training

The 2012 yogahOMe Teacher Training Program is designed as a rich and comprehensive educational experience. Our focus is to give you the tools to teach and practice skillfully: with compassion, safety and integrity, while honoring your own voice and style. Our course of study is non-dogmatic and strives to de-mystify popular notions about Yoga.
On a practical level, the schedules are convenient and work-friendly. The classes will be held between each of the yogahOMe locations. Trainees also will receive unlimited yoga at our three studios during the duration of the Teacher Training program.

Our 200-Hour Foundation Certification is for aspiring teachers, as well as those who wish to deepen their practice. The program presents a well-rounded foundation in the principles of asana, pranayama, meditation, and yoga philosophy. Basic anatomy, Ayurveda and wise sequencing (vinyasa karma) will also be explored. Graduates will also acquire the skills to structure a class that meets students’ varying needs.

I thought about going through the YogahOMe teacher training program for a full year before I dove in. My only regret was waiting. It is truly a life-changing process of awakening, discovery, and improvement of one’s own self, one’s own yoga journey, and a giant leap forward on the never-ending path to the awakening heart and self-enlightenment. It was a joy to go through the entire process, on so many levels – I cannot recommend it enough. The knowledge shared and the bonds formed will stay with you forever, and beyond.” – Werner Hildebrand, RYT

Teaching Staff

Katy Knowles Co-Founder of yogahOMe, Katy has practiced and studied Yoga with teachers throughout the U.S. Currently, Katy is obtaining her Para Yoga Master Training with Yogiraj Rod Stryker. Her classes range from Gentle Yoga to Power Yoga, from Meditation to fusion with sounds. Katy says: “It is as much a pleasure to teach someone their first sun salutation as it is to teach a power vinyasa class.” Her purpose (dharma) is to share and spread the yogic teachings.

Sheila Pinto Co-founder of yogahOMe, Sheila Pinto enjoys teaching the practice as much as she enjoys practicing the practice. Sheila conducted her teacher training with Beryl Bender Birch and Baron Baptiste, and looks continues her studies with Rod Stryker and Lilias Folan. Sheila feels honored to be able to bring yoga to the Cincinnati community and hopefully spread the joys and ah-ha moments to her students that she has experienced in her own practice.

Lilias Folan The “First Lady of Yoga”, Lilias is regarded as America’s most knowledgeable and respected Yoga guru. Through her TV shows, books, videos, and workshops, Swami Lilias-Kavitananda (“she who finds enlightenment through poetry and movement”) has spent over three decades teaching the benefits of Yoga. We are honored that Lilias will be present for several key sessions throughout the teacher training program.
