The 200-hour teacher training at Revolution Yoga was a more profound experience than I ever could have hoped for. We did so much more than study the philosophy or the poses; sincere soul-searching is required. Just as important for success, we had fun while learning! Amanda brought together a wonderful community of passionate, knowledgeable teachers and dedicated trainees. Even now that the 6-week intensive program came to an end, I am inspired to keep learning and exploring, for myself as well as for my future students.

My experience at Revolution Yoga’s Teacher Training, has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I don’t know where to begin or what to talk about first because I have so many wonderful things to say. Starting with the actual space, the feeling the studio gives you when you come in is best described as “like home”. I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a place and felt so comfortable and warm and you can only accredit that to Amanda and the amazing team of Yogis and Karma Yogis who work hard to make it a safe loving space. That being said , to come to such a place Monday through Thursday, 8 hours a day for a month, was more like a treat than going to “school”. Everything I learned at Revolution is now and I’m sure will remain to be some of the most valuable things I know. I have to thank Amanda and Vanessa for this; they both shared everything they have learned with us, while allowing us to figure out for ourselves what the ideas and texts meant to us and how they translated into our own lives. From the philosophy, to the history, to the physical practice, to the anatomy and physiology, I am so grateful for everything they’ve offered us and I feel like I have the tools to explore deeper into my own practice as well as the ability to offer something profound and beautiful to my students. Thank you both with all my heart and thank you for sharing these amazing things in a fun, wonderful way. I don’t think I’ve ever learned so much while laughing, smiling and enjoying myself all at the same time. Of course my thanks also goes out to the friends I made during the training, you’ve all brought something different and awesome to my life and I cherish the time we’ve spent together, it was amazing. While the training is over and I’m ready to start teaching and sharing, one thing this experience taught me is that Yoga has a beginning but it’s never ending. I am only at the beginning of my path and I will continue growing, learning, loving, giving, being present and being peaceful and I know that Revolution is a place that will continue to help me on my way. If you are looking to become a teacher, or just deepen your own practice, the Revolution Yoga teacher training will change something inside you and you will come out even more beautiful and happier than when you began. Thank You again to Amanda and each and every Yogi at Revolution I love you all!

The Revolution Yoga teacher training covered essential aspects of the practice from the breath to the asana to the philosophical underpinnings. Revolution yoga is one of the best places around to find a dedicated, down to earth and an all around awesome community. Here there is a safe space for introspection and connection. I loved the guest speakers, especially Amit, the hands on information was awesome. The beautiful intention in the offering of the training and it's ideas. It was as comprehensive as possible. There was also a steady and responsive communication which I am very grateful for.

The teacher training experience at Revolution Yoga can only be described as very similar to an amazing, amazing, life-changing vacation spent somewhere most fabulous . When you "come back" everyone wants to know just how it was.... and you are all but entirely speechless, so awe stricken with the whole thing that you can't even begin to try and explain... :)

Teacher training was a six week retreat and was one of the best experiences of my life! I am truly grateful to the teachers, especially Amanda, for opening my eyes to the many wonderful aspects of yoga. I have had a strong desire to study the philosophy and history of yoga for many years now and I finally feel I have a solid foundation to build my yoga practice and teaching upon. I am so happy that I chose Revolution Yoga as the place to embark on this journey. The relaxing atmosphere and loving environment makes for a perfect setting for self exploration. The program was demanding, but it hardly felt like “school”. The training leaders kept things fresh with various topics, thought provoking discussions, guest speakers/presenters and field trips. Each day I felt challenged, energized, and rejuvenated all at the same time! Sharing this journey with my fellow teacher trainees has made this experience truly memorable. I have made wonderful connections with beautiful souls and I look forward to continuing these friendships. Not only did I learn about the philosophy, history, and anatomy of yoga, I learned about myself and met some awesome people along the way…a truly invaluable experience. Thank you Revolution Yoga!!!!!

“Revolution’s teacher training offered so much more than I ever anticipated! It was such an enriching experience. We learned so much about every aspect of yoga from the asanas to all of the different pranayama techniques, meditation, chanting, philosophy, history, as well as, all of the various classes a studio could offer and what they’re comprised of. We gained a wealth of knowledge in a comfortable, nurturing, inspiring setting. I would give Revolution the highest recommendation!”

“Amazingly comprehensive training, caring and knowledgeable teachers- a life changing experience! Thank you! My outlook on many things has changed, physical as well as mental- I feel a real peace that I haven’t felt for a long time. There have been so many aspects of learning that I have experienced during training- the philosophical lessons and 8 limbs of yoga- People in my life say I’ve changed!
-Muriel Pellizzi
“Revolution Yoga Teacher Training was an experience that strengthened my asana practice and gave me the tools to be able to teach. It also became an experience of self discovery, where I learned invaluable lessons about myself. I’ve learned to look at past situations that were negative with compassion and feel gratitude for the lessons that I learned. The most vital things I learned were how to structure a class and how we can relate yogic philosophy to our lives because we experience a lot physically and emotionally through a class that can applied to dealing with stress.”
-Emily Meyer
“Revolution Yoga’s Teacher Training is exceptionally inspiring, informative, intense and fun. It will deepen your practice in every way. Amanda, Bec and all gues teachers truly practice yoga with their hearts and sols. They are role models for every person. I am inspired to give over the good feeling I have about yoga to the world!”
-Mimi Samter
“As a teenager I had doubts as to whether to do the training or not. I decided to do it, and it was the best decision of my life (so far). I can’t even begin to say how much I’ve learned, but I have to say, it’s more than I’ve learned in school. Being immersed in everything yoga for 5 weeks was amazing. Not only that, but being surrounded by incredible people and teachers was life changing. I feel as though I’m fully prepared to enter the teaching/yoga realm, and I know everyone in the community is very supportive. If you have any doubts as to whether you should do the training or not, DO IT!”
- Grace Minchnovicz
“I’m really glad you offered the philosophy angle. Not just asana practice. it ended up being an incredible self journey for myself. I learned so much about myself, had support to work out issues and questions with your help, the comfortable atmosphere you created and the teachings of the complete yogic lifestyle. I love that you offered the Ayurveda teachings and ways. The cleanse was great in helping me find balance and helped me advance mentally with a new clarity. the cooking was great, would like to have the recipes. I enjoyed being introduced to the different modules to learn about different areas: Thai yoga massage, prenatal, restorative, etc. By exposing us to these varieties, I feel well-rounded in my education and am able to know which I’d like to go further with, some I didn't know existed or know that I would of connected to. it was cool feeling my interests develop. I was happy to have attention with my asana practice and feel I’ve advanced since you provided an encouraging, confident approach in helping and assisting us/me. the anatomy was a lot of information and although overwhelming at times, I’m so glad it was included. I’m grateful to know more about my skeletal and muscular systems, etc. I know more about my body and mind now and how it all connects and how the yogic lifestyle and asana all works together to help our minds and bodies. I think you offered a wonderful experience. I’m glad I chose Revolution. This experience has helped change my life for the better in many ways. Thank you for everything.”

Why take 300 - Hour Teacher Training with Revolution Yoga? What sets Revolution Yoga’s Teacher Training Apart?
Our program is nuanced, intentional, experiential and extremely comprehensive in a way that will leave you feeling that you have integrated what was learned into your very being. Our program is holistic, integrated and based on parampara (an unbroken chain of ancient lineage). We will deliver information and advanced technique/ philosophy that will build upon what was taught in our 200 hour program. With a bridge program included for those who did not study under us in their 200 hour training all of our students graduate with a deep understanding of how to create space for healing in the minds, hearts and bodies of their students and themselves.
With the push towards developing technology, truth seekers no longer have to travel beyond their home to learn all the secrets behind the workings of the universe and the self. You’ll be given all the tools you need to find yourself and lead your future students along the same path to the inner self whether it be online or in studio with us in Rockville Centre, New York.
We believe meditation, philosophy and vedic wisdom should be an integral part of teacher training so we’ve curated authentic, experienced training leaders who are not only good at what they do, they are good at teaching you how to teach (an art unto itself).
Amanda has put together a manual and program that not only gives a great overview of the real roots of yoga (the way the sages and rishis of the himalayas intended the knowledge be passed on) but gives trainees direct experience of the 8 limbs of the yoga practice through special journaling, meditation and self-exploration throughout training. The best teachers teach from experience, from what they know. Here you will gain knowledge not just from study but direct experience in a palatable, exciting, and easy to understand formula. So often we get trainee alumnis coming back beaming with gratitude as their knowledge of yoga philosophy and practices has completely changed their lives for the better. We are very proud of the trainees we have sent out into the world and very proud of the program we have put together.
Upon completion of our program, teachers are eligible to teach private clients, groups, and corporate clients. Students will be prepared to teach in studios, gyms, at retreats, and clinical settings.
What sets Revolution's style of yoga apart from others?
Every class you'll be sure to receive your daily dose of vinyasa krama. Vinyasa Krama means intelligently sequenced so one pose builds to the next. Your practice will feel organic as your body gradually opens in flexibility and builds in strength as the practice progresses within your one to one hour and fifteen minute class. This is a very safe and intelligently thought out process so your offerings will heal rather than harm. Your training at Revolution Yoga will teach you to lead in this style. All trainees have all been highly trained in injury prevention, alignment practices and techniques that have been proven in studies of yoga and physiology to be the safest forms of movement and body mechanics.
You will be taught how to sequence Ayurvedically. Ayurveda is yoga's sister science which is still used as a form of medicine and healing in India. It has been developed over 5000 years into the holistic and incredibly effective medical system that it is today. Ayurveda understands how the seasons and our environment affect our bodies and minds on many levels and uses lifestyle practices and yoga techniques (asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy) to balance your unique constitution for the season we are in. All Revolution classes and styles are sequenced specifically from a pool of hundreds of postures to leave you feeling perfectly balanced for the season bringing your body back into equilibrium. Training will provide you with the wisdom to know how to lead in this way for any level of practitioner. The 300 hour program in particular will set the stage for you to feel comfortable leading advanced practitioners as you, yourself advance your own practice and understand through the training.
Learn to authentically integrate yoga philosophy, spirituality and breathwork technique into every class. By not ignoring the 8 limbs of yoga for just asana (physical practice) we feel we are teaching what the sages and rishis intended for this practice. Not only will you be helping your students to achieve vibrant health, you'll be presenting ideas that will start to change their life. Lastly in that vein we integrate meditation or concentration techniques into each class for the whole yoga package. You’ll be able to offer something for any and every body with all of the modules.
