Full Circle Yoga & Healing Arts 

"Learning Yoga is an act of love to yourself, and sharing Yoga is showing compassion toward another person, but teaching Yoga is an act of compassion toward humanity."

~Kristen Fewel

Yoga Studies

Yoga Studies are the same courses offered to Yoga Teacher trainees for personal enrichment and education of the yoga arts.  FULL CIRCLE YOGA is a place to learn, heal, and grow at your own pace, and to receive mentorship on your path toward developing your practice, knowledge, and confidence.

​

Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider Courses (YACEP)

We offer certified yoga teachers continuing education in a variety of yogic disciplines. All workshops offered through Full Circle Yoga within the scope of yoga and meditation are YACEP approved. Certificates of completion are provided upon request. 

Our teachers are registered with Yoga Alliance (YA) and are approved to give YA credit (YACEP) to YA registered yoga teachers.

 Yoga Training Foundations Course

Due to what we feel is an erroneous 200 hour benchmark required by the Yoga Alliance (YA), in addition to dwindling requests for in-person yoga training, we discontinued our yoga school registration with the YA in 2020 after 10 years of membership. However, we continue to deliver their curriculum standards, and EXCEED their standards in both ethics and mentorship. We do not feel that Yoga Alliance, which is not a certifying organization, has any bearing on whether a yoga student makes a good teacher: good teaching and supportive learning environments do.

​

 

 

We believe strongly that mentorship and practice hours of actual teaching with the supervision of an experienced yoga teacher is what helps new teachers become effective teachers.  We have a network of mentors in the OC/LA areas that are happy to mentor with our students, exceeding the expectations of most organizations who hire yoga teachers. Our mission is to help every serious student who wants to teach yoga be competent and confident in doing so. 

 

Our program is suitable for newer students looking to understand a greater depth of Yoga AND experienced practitioners who wish to become teachers of yoga and meditation.  We emphasize a gentle, adaptable, and appropriate practice of asana (posture), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation. Kristen Fewel, the Lead Trainer, and guest teachers are highly trained and well experienced in teaching to a wide range of learners.

​

The modular courses listed below may be taken a la carte or consecutively which will prepare even the most beginning student to have a personal practice and a confident voice for sharing Yoga with family, friends, taking on private students, or teaching in small groups.
