At Four Corners Yoga, we turn stress into strength, doubt into confidence, and strangers into community. Our encouragement, training, and support, combined with your open mind and heart, will push you in ways you never thought possible. Four Corners Yoga is founded on the belief that to advance yourself physically and mentally, you must focus on YOU and you alone. Too often intimidation and comparison prevent people from achieving their goals, especially in the fitness world. At Four Corners Yoga, we believe that your full concentration should be on what lies between the four corners of your mat — you — because what is right for one body is not always right for another. The Four Corners culture promotes focusing within and honoring what is best for your body and mind. Four Corners Yoga offers the student opportunities to strengthen from the inside out by pushing yourself, for yourself.

Testimonials.

By Rooted Heart Yoga Teacher, Bri Jakosa, Cohort 1

“I am writing this with immense gratitude and joy to express my overwhelmingly positive experience during the six months of the Rooted Heart Yoga teacher training program. This transformative journey has not only deepened my understanding of yoga but has also profoundly impacted various aspects of my life.

One of the program's standout features was the diverse and experienced team of instructors and mentors - starting with the phenomenal owners and overall fantastic human beings, Nayantara and Crystal. Their passion for yoga is contagious, and their guidance was instrumental in everyone's growth. They fostered a supportive, personal, vulnerable, and nurturing environment, encouraging us to be ourselves and explore our own unique teaching styles and voices. The mentorship provided was invaluable, helping every student navigate challenges and discover hidden strengths within themselves. Not enough positive things can be said about these two authentic individuals and their passion for sharing their gifts with the lucky students who get to be a part of this program.

The education provided a holistic approach to yoga encompassing not only the physical asanas/postures but also the philosophy, anatomy, techniques, meditation, and the art of teaching. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect balance between theory and practical application. Each module unfolded like a well-crafted story, gradually building upon knowledge and skills.

The camaraderie and support from fellow trainees created a sense of community that enhanced the overall experience. We celebrated each other's successes, shared our challenges, and formed bonds that will last a lifetime. The collaborative atmosphere made the learning process so enjoyable and enriched the entire journey.

On a personal level, the immersive nature of the training allowed me to delve deep into my own practice. They challenged the students to try a wide variety of yoga classes, practices, instructors and styles. The program also emphasized the importance of community, connection, self-care and mindfulness; all of which taught me valuable tools that extend far beyond the yoga mat. I found a sense of inner peace and balance that I had never experienced before.

As I reflect back on the six months of the teacher training program, it has been so much more than a certification. I am filled with gratitude for the growth, self-discovery, newfound confidence, and true friends that it has provided me. Not only am I now equipped with the knowledge and skills to share the gift of yoga with others, but I have also gained a deeper understanding of myself and a profound appreciation for the transformative power of this ancient practice.

Even if you are not interested in becoming a teacher, I wholeheartedly recommend this yoga teacher training program to anyone seeking a life-changing experience that extends far beyond the physical practice of yoga. The positive impact on my physical, mental, and spiritual well-being has been nothing short of epochal, and I am excited to embark on the next chapter of my journey.”
