We knew when Union Yoga was launched that if we were to offer a teacher training that it would have to be exceptional. It would have to be a deep dive of traditional methodology, philosophy and discipline and truly prepare individuals with the skills to teach (even beyond a yoga class). Noah Maze is known as the teacher of teachers offering some of the smartest and clearest programs available anywhere. He has a select group of teachers who offer the MazeMethod, carrying his name and specific guidelines for a stellar 200 hour program.

This is a program that you will appreciate while you're going through it and the appreciation will grow over the years.

Our trainings are informative, ever improving and customized to each group of students’ needs and goals. We emphasize logical analysis, clear language, and critical thinking.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
The Mazé Method 200-hour teacher trainings take you on a journey of self-discovery and education into all things yoga. Our foundational training (200–hour) program is ideal for serious students of yoga, aspiring yoga teachers, and teachers with varying levels of experience. Students with injuries and health issues are also encouraged to attend.

This training is recognized by Yoga Alliance and focuses in three areas of study: The Theory and Practice of Yoga, Yoga Philosophy, and The Art of Teaching.
