Open To All with a Sincere Interest

We are so excited to welcome world renowned yoga teacher, Francois Raoult. A student of BKS Iyengar and Noëlle Perez-Christiaens, Francois has spent decades sharing asana, anatomy, philosophy and application. His curriculum is strategically curated to serve a variety of students, deepening their understanding of themselves through the study and practice of yoga.  Offered for 16 years in NY, Brussels, and Iceland, The Essential Yoga Teacher Training Program will be offered for the first time ever in Denver!

Learn about the program through the experiences of the students:

“Essential Teacher Training is not just a teacher training for aspiring yoga teachers. It is a transformative life experience. Francois offers a rigorous program, requires reading from multiple sources, daily practice, student teaching & extensive writing. As well, the anatomy portion is taught in a creative, non-traditional manner that facilitates alternative pathways of learning. While learning to teach asanas & pranayama, students become immersed in the Yoga Sutras, one being self-study/self-examination. I certainly learned how to teach yoga in this program. More importantly, I learned who I am & who I can be as a result of my education. I express gratitude to my teachers – faculty & fellow students.”  KATHLEEN KING

“The reading and homework assignments are gems waiting to be discovered. We wrote, painted, drew, made collages, and magic happened as I discovered the poet in me. Yoga, as is Life, is a creative endeavor and this is brought to the forefront. My yoga practice and teaching, already the center of my existence, will never be the same again. I am eternally grateful to this teacher of teachers, François Raoult. Namasté…”  kay

“I recommend this training to anyone who is interested in deepening their practice, even if they are not interested in teaching. It was a wonderfully enriching educational step in my path of life.”  NICOLE HUMMEL

“It was a decision that I never regretted and would encourage anyone who wants to renew and enlarge their knowledge of Iyengar’s therapeutic practices, Ayurveda, anatomy, yoga philosophy, in general, or just to go on a spiritual voyage, to embark on this journey.”

“This program exceeded my every expectation. It was rigorous in the assignment of homework, profound in the exploration of self, and challenging in the study and practice of the asanas. Safety of future students was the most important focus. Guest instructors and lecturers were very knowledgeable, and made for robust learning.”  SHERRI BORGLUM

“Undertaking the training with François Raoult exceeded all my expectations and wildest dreams. The practical and scholarly coverage of asanas, pranayama, philosophy, Ayurveda and anatomy were comprehensive and stimulating. The learning took place within a unique and creative framework that fostered group sharing, caring and enhanced self-development. It was, quite simply, an experience to be treasured for life.” LINSAY  GRAY
