“I came to Stella Luna Yoga because I specifically wanted to teach. And I found that this training centered me.
Things I’ve thought about all my life, but didn’t quite understand, now I have a reference for. I find myself saying more and more, “yes, this makes sense to me.” Stella Luna Yoga School put me on track, on my right path.”     -Ann 2019 graduate
“Stella Luna School taught me how to calmly savor the small things in life. I was stuck in my thinking and unnecessarily pressuring myself about my goals. I now can focus better on what is in front of me and I am enjoying my life.”Â

We love chatting on the phone.
The best way to begin your journey is to schedule a complimentary call.
Connection is key, Let's chat!Here’s a more in-depth look at what you'll learn in the online curriculum:
Techniques, Training and Practice:
To honor the ancient technology of yoga, we use the 8 limbed path as our guide and The Yoga Sutras act as our textbook.Â
Each quarter is divided into a specific focus on a self care practice (niyama), a mantra (affirmation/prayer), and a pranayama (breath) so that you fully absorb each practice.
The asanas (poses) are divided into groups: standing and balancing, sun salutes, seated poses, twists, inversions and arm balances with an emphasis on functional movement, so you can teach safely and without causing injury.Â
Our intention is that you find your teaching style, so we don’t just focus on a single type of yoga or one sequence. We provide sequences and practices for many different types of yoga including: Chair, prenatal, Yin, VInyasa, Gentle and Restorative.
For the Yoga Teacher:
Through the business of yoga module and 1:1 mentoring, we provide all our students everything they need to be confident yoga teachers.
We encourage our students to explore different styles of yoga in order to identify their own signature teaching style. And we offer mentoring with master teachers so all our students feel empowered to craft and design a class with safe sequencing and with their own creativity.
Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology:
Safety is our #1 priority, so we focus on educating our students with anatomy and applied kinesiology that will help them construct sequences for healthy and functional movement patterns.
In addition to learning about the physical systems of skeletal, muscular, respiratory and fascia, we also provide extensive education about the chakra energetic system. And we provide in-depth education about safe sequencing for injuries and modifications.
Yoga Lifestyle, Philosophy and Ethics:
Yoga is so much more than just poses, so we provide discussions and workshops on Ayurveda (the science of yoga), self care practices, intuition development, aromatherapy, The Yoga Sutras and conscious communication.
The best way to begin your journey is to schedule a complimentary call with Stella.
