LEARN TO TEACH
YOUR PRACTICE.

Folk does a great job of bringing together the principles of Hatha Yoga with the philosophy of Patanjali’s Yoga, as well as modern anatomy and science to create a holistic program. The program also values diversity, and generates some of the most highly skilled teachers. The teachers here are absolutely amazing.
- Kunal D.
The program had the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. There is a good balance of discussion, practice, and online work. As I would expect in San Francisco, I thought the teachers had a diverse array of styles and experience. I enjoyed the emphasis on diversity, cultural sensitivity, and spiritual practice that I did not find in corporate yoga teacher training programs.
- Krystal L.
This program introduced me to such life changing and valuable lessons. It allowed me to meet amazing people from my peers to my teachers, and it provided a safe and welcoming community to me with diverse backgrounds and lineages of yoga and beyond.

NOTE FROM A TEACHER

I love being part of the Folk Yoga School. The Folk programs do a great job of fully embracing & teaching all the aspects of yoga, not just asana but all the wonderful facets that Yoga encompasses! As a teacher, I can say that this program comes from a place of true integrity and honors YOGA. -Martin Scott, E-RYT 500
