EMBODIED: Apprenticeship
EMBODIED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
Become a trainer with Embodied Practice Academy through hands-on mentorship, observation, and teaching practice.
Learn Through Immersion
The Embodied Practice Apprenticeship is an invitation to expand your impact and increase your earning capacity as a teacher through mentorship, experience, and meaningful leadership within our ecosystem. This immersive pathway allows you to move beyond theory into real-time application — observing, assisting, and embodying the principles of conscious practice at a higher level.
Designed for teachers who feel called to deepen their role, this apprenticeship supports confidence, authenticity, and personal responsibility. It is a space to refine your voice, strengthen your facilitation skills, and grow within a community of leaders committed to embodied practice.
As an apprentice, you will have the opportunity to co-lead our program content and gain advanced experience delivering our methodology with clarity and integrity. You may also design and lead your own offerings within our established guidelines — expanding your creativity while maintaining the standards of our work. This pathway opens the potential to share our programs independently, including in retreat settings and immersive experiences around the world.
More than a teaching program, this is leadership development. You will learn how to guide groups with confidence, build and support thriving communities, steward culture, and step fully into your most powerful role — not just as a yoga teacher, but as a respected and capable leader.
When do we begin:
Pathway One
The Nervous System & Sound Healing Entry (First Wave)
2026 Start date: June 19-21, 2026
This pathway is designed for individuals who feel called to explore embodiment practices but may not yet see themselves as teachers. Participants begin by experiencing the work through practices that regulate the nervous system and deepen personal awareness.
This may include:
• Sound Healing
• Breathwork
• Nervous System Regulation
Pathway Two
The 200-Hour/300-Hour Teacher Training Entry (Second Wave)
2026 Start date: August 26, 2026
This pathway is designed for individuals who already feel called to teach, facilitate, or lead groups. Participants begin with the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, where they learn the foundations of:
• yoga and embodiment practices
• breathwork and nervous system awareness
• facilitation skills
• holding space for groups
As an apprentice, you will have the opportunity to:
Co-lead program content and gain advanced facilitation experience
Design and deliver your own offerings within our framework
Teach and share this work independently, including retreats and immersive experiences around the world
Develop leadership skills beyond teaching a class — holding space, guiding transformation, and supporting a community of emerging leaders
Graduates may also be invited into our Leadership Ecosystem, including:
Licensed Facilitator Track – Teach independently using our methodology

This is more than a training — it’s a pathway into professional leadership, real-world experience, and long-term growth within a global community of embodied practitioners.

"Dana is one of the most authentic & connected teachers I've ever worked with. Her dedication and heart-centered offerings are inspiring and it is clear she lives her yoga on and off the mat. I would recommend her as a teacher and mentor to anyone who is looking to deepen not only their yoga practice, but also their relationship to themselves and the world."
