We are thrilled to be able to say we offered Yoga Certification at a 200-hour level which was accredited with Yoga Alliance our first year. This past year we offered a 200 Yoga Teacher Training that was the same curriculum we had used when accredited by Yoga Alliance but added an additional 25 hours of study to allow for the needs of the Fremont area/community. While our second school offering was not registered with Yoga Alliance, we are proud of the vigorous and detailed training we were able to provide. This experience was also set up as a deep immersion program for those who wanted to understand and explore a wide variety of yoga’s aspects.  We pride ourselves in being a Studio built on experience, intention, and knowledge.  The Instructors at The Blue Yoga Studio are thorough, adaptive, and real people who will gladly share their experiences with you.  Due to a disheartening experience with our last Yoga Teacher Training, wew ill refrain from offering school for awhile. We will be focusing on our workshops and one-on-one sessions to deepen the knowledge and application for our beautiful yoga community!  Please call 402.709.1434 or email ginger@embraceyourway.com with any questions!  Our previous graduates-Cristina Serrano-Jacobs, Lisa Lamb, Haley Winterstein, and Emily Kranz- are beautiful souls we have nothing but gratitude for!
