Baron Baptiste Yoga Virginia

Down Dog Yoga has been DC’s industry leader in Power Vinyasa Teacher Training since 2003.

When you sign up for our 200-Hour Teacher Training program, you will be studying with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable teachers in the industry.

We believe that a teacher’s life experience is the source from which they teach.
A lot of our training focuses on transforming you, so that the experience and authenticity of your own yogic process becomes the foundation from which you share your message.

Training to become a teacher with Down Dog is a process that will not only give you the tools to develop the strong skills necessary to be a competent classroom teacher,
but also the confidence and understanding of what it means to inspire and lead others in life by your example.

Unique to Down Dog, Patty Ivey and her Senior Down Dog Team personally lead every training. The senior Down Dog team has thousands of hours of experience, gained from training and working side by side in mentorship with master teachers such as Baron Baptiste, famous for his revolutionary Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga practice, and numerous other masterful teachers in various styles and practices.

There are no other teachers in the Washington DC area who have our expertise in teacher development. We are the best in the business. It is truly a unique experience for any level of teacher to go through.
At the end of the program, you will have built a strong foundation for what it takes to be a teacher in any area in your life.

At the end of your training, you will be a person who is fully transformed. You will emerge with a clear, confident, and powerful way of being for others to learn from. You will be standing for something bigger than yourself, and students will be lining up to take your classes and learn from you!
