Meet Your Teacher
Courtney Schlotec, RYT 500 Certified YTT Facilitator
Welcome to Grow Yoga! I’m Courtney, you’re training leader.
You are about to begin a training with a significant impact. Our grads will tell you that it’s the best thing they’ve ever done for themselves in the world of personal growth.
Your decision to seek in person teacher training is wise. I hear all the time from students who chose an online or fast paced program, “I got certified, but I don’t know how to teach.” Under facilitated, fast paced, or self directed trainings sold at rock bottom prices are a cash grab and quite frankly inappropriate for something this important. I’m glad you see through that.
Grow Yoga is partnered with Lit From Within Yoga to bring you a world class 200 Hour teacher training program. Graduates of the program have an edge and their yoga classes stand out. Our training is not about having a beautiful or advanced personal yoga practice. It’s about discovering what it takes to lead others to discover their own greatness through their yoga practice. In a nutshell, it teaches you to lead. To watch all of the growth that happens in the lives of students is incredible. Leading this training is my passion.
Teacher Training is a milestone event in life and a turning point for many. You should let yourself get excited about this experience. I believe this training will exceed your expectations.
There are many reasons people sign up for an in person 200 Hour Training and teaching yoga is only one of them. Whether you want to teach yoga, gain confidence, create lasting relationships, deepen your listening and speaking skills, or quite honestly, change the way you view life in every great way, this 200 Hour Teacher Training is the one to do!
I look forward to getting to know you more through your training where you will discover what is possible for yourself and others in the world of growth, leadership, and yoga!
