4 weekends + 2 week intensive in Guatemala

Supernova Teacher Training

Nova Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Throughout the program, we'll peel back the layers of yoga, connecting them to our modern world in a way that you can pass along to your students or embrace in your daily life. You'll gain the tools to guide others on their journey while unveiling your own hidden strengths and potential. We'll delve into ancient philosophies, modern movement concepts, anatomy, health, wellness, and being. Our students unlock the power of their inner voice, learning to lead a life anchored in their powerful heart center.

We empower novices to become professional leaders and memorable teachers. Our unique approach combines the best of both worlds: four immersive weekends in North Carolina spaced out over 3 months followed by a 2 week intensive in Guatemala and ultimately culminating in a graduation ceremony on the serene shores of Lake Atitlan.

This training welcomes seasoned practitioners and beginners as well as those aspiring to teach or deepen their understanding. Join us and discover the path to personal and professional growth through yoga.

Hear From Past Trainees

I already had a YTT 200 training, I decided to take Nova Yoga Schools training because I felt called to do so. It was the best decision I have ever made. I’ve learned so much, and have tools to learn more if I choose to. I am comfortable teaching now. This training wasn’t just about the physical aspect, but the philosophical as well. —Haya Beltaji

This was amazing. A truly amazing experience that I don’t know how to put into words. I still haven’t even posted pics yet and it’s been weeks since graduation because nothing I say can embody what I’ve experienced. I loved every bit of it. —Sha’Quiel

I met Lila and Jot Anot at a 200 hour yoga teacher training in Costa Rica. They are master teachers in every sense of the word. The quality of their characters cannot be overstated. They embody the teachings of yoga and dedicate their lives to sharing these teachings with others. They constantly led the group from a place of purity and precision; unlocking the fullness of the experience for each and every practitioner. Aside from the extraordinary yoga training I received, there was much more to be learned from this experience. I learned to be a sacred listener, to see myself and others through divine eyes, and to master myself so that I may better serve others. The seeds of their wisdom continue to bloom and bear fruit for me every single day. If you open your heart to the experience, Lila and Jot will illuminate the spiritual path for you. —Gregory Stavrakas
