We are thrilled to announce the Bainbridge Yoga House 2026 Yoga School/200-Hour Teacher Training program!

We invite all yoga enthusiasts, curious individuals, music makers, parents, poets, lifelong students, nature lovers, aspiring teachers, compassionate listeners, emerging thought and heart leaders, and forward-thinking facilitators to join our 2026 "satsang" to deepen and expand your journey with us.

Our multifaceted approach is born out of a desire to be authentic, trans-cultural, inclusive, and dynamic. This nine-month adventure will take us through the seasons, with sessions held one weekend a month (on average) at Bainbridge Yoga House and one Livestream Zoom class one Wednesday per month. The specific dates are listed below. Our Yoga School will center around community care, interpersonal work, comprehensive yoga study (including techniques, skills, teaching methodology, practice, humanities, theory, and application), service, mentorship, and kinship.

Whether your intention is to learn and grow as a student or become a yoga teacher, we will make space for everyone to explore ways to connect to your truest voice, lead with courage and vulnerability, and communicate well to cultivate better relationships with self, each other, and the many realms you live, work, and play in.

The Yoga School/Teacher Training is born out of a deep love and respect for yoga, teaching, and co-creating in circles with people who want to live a life of radiance, joy, and ease. It is a passionate endeavor created and led by Jen Breen, in collaboration with her colleagues, mentors, teachers, and friends. We are thrilled that so many passionate and dedicated teachers feel called to be a part of this experience.
