Kim Dawes Yoga

Kim Dawes and Lila Lolling have joined hearts, hands, and minds to co-facilitate White Lotus Home's 300hr Yoga Teacher Training. We are welcoming twelve, 200hr yoga teachers on a journey of renewal and inspiration, both personally and professionally.

​

Over the course of a year, you will embark on a journey from head to heart. You'll be asked to deepen in your role as a yoga practitioner and teacher. By doing this and going within your own heart space, you gain wisdoms to share with your students in a way that helps them grow and evolve.

​

This journey reveals advanced teaching methodologies, yoga philosophy, the nuances of trauma and overall wellness. More than ever, people are in need of the ancient healing modalities of yoga, and this curriculum makes sure you graduate feeling confident in your gifts and abilities.

​

THE CURRICULUM JOURNEY + TEACHING STAFF

Throughout the year, you will have intimate sessions with lead teachers Kim Dawes and Lila Lolling. Kim will guide you through five weekends of advanced teacher content and host the visiting instructors. Lila will walk you through the beauty of yoga philosophy in bi-monthly Zoom sessions with guest visits from Prem Sadasivananda.

Mid-July, Kim and Lila host our 4-day teachers' retreat hosted at Hope Springs Institute in Peebles Ohio. During the retreat we focus on embodying ancient yoga wisdoms in your daily life, connecting with nature, and uncovering your higher duty as a yoga teacher. As we learn to hold ourselves to a higher standard of teaching, we steward yoga forward in a way that is reverent and intentional.

Our team of visiting instructors shares their knowledge during three of the weekend immersions. Jill Conyers shares Ayurvedic wellness wisdoms. Jen Wright-Scheenman introduces you to trauma-informed yoga. Anna Furderer teaches you the nature of the addictive mind and how to use yoga as a will-power aid.

​

Our faculty are incredibly experienced in holding space for others while providing you with ample tools to add to your yoga teacher toolbox. By year end, you will feel confident in addressing your student's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.

​

Although this is a hybrid training program (virtual & in-person) it is highly encouraged you attend in-person as often as possible to gain the most from your experience and investment. The virtual Yoga wisdoms sessions with Lila are hosted through Zoom. Attendance is required for January, July, and December. See trainings full details.
