HeartSong Yoga and Wellness Center is a Registered Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance. Our Teacher Training, Immersion and Mentorship programs are headed by the founding director of HeartSong Yoga, Leslie Ellis, eRYT-500 (500-hour experienced Registered Yoga Teacher).
Leslie began studying yoga in 1988 and has worked with a number of teachers, both locally and nationally. Her yoga roots are in alignment based hatha yoga styles with a strong influence of Bhakti (inspiration) as well. Teachers who have most influenced her practice and teaching are Mary Paffard, John Friend and Angela Farmer. In addition to her yoga studies, Leslie is an occupational therapist with over 15 years experience in healthcare. This has shaped the curriculum of the Teacher Training to promote a therapeutic focus along with conventional yoga training.
The HeartSong School offers three major programs for students who wish to expand their studies above and beyond the regular classes and workshops offered at HeartSong:

Teacher Training
Our Teacher Training program offers students an opportunity to deepen their own practice, develop teaching skills, and become eligible to apply for a designation as an RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher, 200-hour level) with the Yoga Alliance. Offered one weekend-a-month for twelve months, this program exposes students to central topics in the study of yoga, and teaches them how to share this information with others.

Immersion Program
The Immersion Program is meant for those who wish to advance as students of yoga. A parallel to our Teacher Training, the Immersion Program allows students to take part in one-weekend-a-month of classes in asana (postures), Pranayama (breath), classical yogic texts, and discounts on supplies and many workships offered through the center. This is an excellent opportunity to broaden your yoga practice alongside a group of other passionate individuals.

HeartSong Mentorship
Students who have completed the HeartSong Teacher Training or another 200-hour training elsewhere are eligible for the HeartSong Mentorship program. Students shadow weekly yoga classes with one of HeartSong's instructors. They observe, take notes, and complete short written assignments before beginning to take more active roll as a class assistant.
