Affording Yoga Teacher Training

Opposed to setting cost purely on market research devoid of the experience of guiding others in the realm of metaphysics in yoga teacher training. Our rate increase is based on experience and a track record of guiding yoga teacher trainings authentically and purely from a metaphysical frame of reference. SWAY’s Metaphysical Hatha Yoga Teacher Training program is and will remain unmatched and is not comparable to any other metaphysical teacher training offering since its inception in 2019. Our training is sacred and available to the community at large – this is True Light Work!
