Yoga Teacher Training

The Ultimate Self-Care Investment 🙏
Next Class starts August 2025

It’s been a joy to see how our program has evolved over the last 10 years. Yes! I’m beginning our 10th class for wannabe yoga teachers & yoga immersion students in August.


The Studio Yoga Teacher Training isn’t just about learning poses or earning a piece of paper. It’s about growth — inside and out.

It’s about discovering new things: how the body moves, how the mind works, and how powerful your breath can be.

It’s an investment in self-care, in setting aside time for you — to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with what matters.

And maybe most beautifully, it’s about community — sharing laughs, breakthroughs, challenges, and memories with people on the same path.

Whether you’re here to teach or just to deepen your practice, our YTT program is a life-changing journey that stays with you long after it ends.

We’ll mostly be in person and we prefer that method of teaching and learning. That being said, there are in person, virtual and homework assignments. More and more of you are signing up to immerse yourself into the world of yoga, deepen your knowledge of yoga and make the investment in your self-care by integrating your learnings into daily life as a human being.

Upon completion, walk away with a certificate, if that is your goal. Otherwise, your life could be enriched beyond earning a teaching certificate as shared in this testimony:

Science is catching up and validating what the ancients knew all along about the benefits of holistic living and what I like to call “The 3 M’s” – Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation.

Who signs up for this course?

Yoga teacher training isn’t just for those looking to become full-time yoga instructors. It’s a transformative experience that enhances and deepens the way you show up in your current profession. I’ve had teachers, nurses, psychologists, chief financial officers, CrossFit coaches, personal trainers, real estate agents, equestrians, veterinarians, moms, grandmothers, pastors, acupuncturists, social workers, mental health therapists and even retired folks who simply want to learn more and make an investment in their very being. 

You’re never too old. It’s never too late. I consider myself a full-time student. There’s so much to learn and each year I offer this training, my learning deepens and for that….. I. AM. THANKFUL.

Who is the lead facilitator?

Me! Shannon Stricklin, the creator and visionary of The Studio. I quit my 25 year career in the telecommunications industry to open a yoga studio and become a yoga teacher. I’ve been teaching 13 years and have taught nearly 6,000 classes. I’ve practiced yoga for more than 18 years and graduated 9 classes of yoga training students. I am a 500 Hour Registered Yoga teacher, earning my 200 Hour from The Om Place and my 300 Hour from Asheville Yoga Center. 

I consider my classes a fusion of all the yoga that I love including hatha, restorative, yin, yoga nidra and whatever I create. It’s increasingly important that my classes are inclusive for all humans – including seniors and curvier folks.

Now that I’m well into my 50’s, I’m particularly interested in “aging like a pro” with Yoga and all its accoutrements – including weights. Plus, I just LOVE teaching  and enjoy baking in my love of the seasons, nature, history, & music history into my classes.

I love being a C.E.O – Chief Encourager Officer and I love training others to be one too. 

How will we learn?

I’ll engage you with an array of yoga classes, interactive presentation slides, videos, demonstrations, observation, experience, discussion, reading assignments, guest speakers and teachers, journaling & quizzes.
