New Love City is excited to open up our Incubator program to the public for the first time! This mentorship program is for graduates of a 200-hour teacher training and is curated to maximize the actual teaching of yoga and to polish and refine your presence, sequencing skills, and adjustments in a yoga class.

The structure of this program is two-fold: a lecture component on Thursday evenings which will provide ample time for questions and discussion on a variety of topics including sequencing, adjustments, theming a class, and business in the yoga industry. On Sundays, the focus will be on application.The first segment will be focused on practice teaching and adjustments. In subsequent weeks each participant will teach a 60 minute yoga class in its entirety at New Love City. You will check your students in, control the atmosphere of the studio, and teach a full class. Afterward, you will receive feedback from a New Love City senior teacher and other incubator participants and have the opportunity to ask questions. This program has limited availability so sign up soon.

The Spring 2024 Incubator Program begins on Thursday March 28th and will continue through Sunday May 12th. Thursday evening sessions will run from 6-7:30pm on Zoom and Sunday afternoon sessions will run from 1-5pm in the studio.

*Yin Yoga is an ancient movement art developed to integrate meditation with slow movements allowing for strength and vitality in the entire body-mind system. Working specifically with the body's main 12 meridians and its most key organs, the aim is to clear the path from the inside out—allowing for optimal flow of all systems. Through this slower style of longer holds, time and gravity and one's intuitive wisdom create a practice that has proven to be both healing and rejuvenating.
