Dive Deeper
In this in-person, in-depth training you will examine the deeper practices of yoga, focus on practical everyday tips and techniques to integrate more yoga (not just asana) into your life, delve into the finer aspects of anatomy and kinesiology, inform and refine your personal practice, and dig into your authentic self to help you realize your gifts and prepare you to teach and/or practice from a place of knowledge, insight and authenticity.
Personal Attention and Guidance
Your experience in this training will be unique to you. We want to get to know you, to understand your perspective and help you reach your personal goals. We are committed to guiding you to your fullest potential, and that means giving you the tools and the time and space necessary to explore your interests within the framework of the training.
Real People, Real Yoga
We love to laugh, and we love everything about teaching and practicing yoga. There are certainly many serious and profound aspects of the practice, but we believe that there’s absolutely no reason you can’t explore them in a fun and engaging way. With us you’ll explore the deep philosophical facets of yoga right alongside real life, practical information and skills you can use in your everyday life on and off the mat.
Community
At its core, Yoga is union; and, to us, a big part of that sense of unity is the sangha we create. When you join us for this training you become a part of our sangha and part of the Radiant Being family. You will be surrounded by the people you are meant to meet on your journey, each of us learning, growing, and flourishing individually and collectively. We will be there to support you and cheer you on every step of the way and long after the training is over as that journey continues.

Testimonials
Ellen, I lack the words for gratitude for what you've done for me on this journey home. Thank you for creating a sanctuary in this training for me to be my messy, raw self and share it with others. You let us grow, jump backwards, fall and fly in our own way and also together. There is nothing more special. - JK
Ellen, you are so dedicated (but not intense - I love your "chillness"). You did a thorough job of giving us (leading us to) the information we needed and allowed us so much room to explore/grow on our own. It's evident the work, but also the love, you put into our training. I had a great experience with this training and enjoyed the pace and the atmosphere created. I often find myself referring back to the texts and materials we studied over the course of our training and feel adequately equipped with the tools required to create a safe and beneficial space for my yoga students. - BL
I loved this training from start to finish. Everything was properly planned and organized but we were given so much freedom to explore and discuss topics of interest at length. The material we were given to study was excellent and all of our assignments were interesting and worth while. Ellen is so accommodating and knowledgeable, she is a very talented teacher. - JD
Ellen, it has been a wonderful year! I am so glad I found you. Thank you for your insights, organization, talent, kindness, and guidance. - KR
