Your Lead Teacher
The Hometown Sweat Teacher Training will be led by studio owner, Maria McBride.
Maria will be assisted in Posture Clinics, Teaching Labs, and public classes by additional members of the Hometown Sweat teaching staff, all who are certified to teach Original Hot Yoga.
“I’ve been teaching Original Hot yoga since 2008.
This practice has saved me in so many ways by helping me heal lingering running injuries, keeping my body healthy through three pregnancies, and helping my mind stay clear and calm during challenging seasons. I knew I needed to learn to teach this yoga when I began hearing about others experiences of how their lives were so positively changed by practicing original hot yoga. I knew I wanted to help deliver this practice. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness so many (hundreds? thousands??) of people continue to improve their lives with Original Hot Yoga. In order for folks to have access to these classes, we need to have compassionate, knowledgable teachers who can teach this healing and transformative practice. I’m honored to be offering this Teacher Training at Hometown Sweat!”
A note about participating if you don’t think you want to teach…
If you love this practice and want to learn more but aren’t sure if you want to teach, that’s ok. This training could still be for you since we will be covering the 26 postures and two breathing exercises in such extensive detail. You can learn how to practice sustainably - truly for the rest of your life - with this Teacher Training.
We hope you will apply!
