The Southtown Yoga Teacher Training program is one of the most thorough and effective teacher training programs in the country. Led by internationally known instructor, Mitchel Bleier, and assisted by Southtown owner and lead instructor, Brigette Niedringhaus, students have access to two incredible yogins with over 30 years of combined experience. This training is Yoga Alliance registered and will immensely deepen your understanding and practice of yoga and empower you to share your profound practice with others. 


Training is designed for serious students interested in becoming teachers; current teachers that wish to refine their craft; or passionate students that want to further their practice and understanding of yoga. Teachers will learn to be accountable for themselves and their students. Southtown Yoga encourages the thoughtful application of yoga to life rather than blindly prescribed yoga. Through the Southtown Yoga Teacher Training, teachers will learn not only what choice to make for their students, why they are making it, and how to engage appropriate and optimally in every situation.
