Full Circle Yoga & Healing Arts 

"Learning yoga is an act of love to yourself, and sharing yoga is showing compassion toward another person,

but teaching yoga is an act of compassion toward humanity."

~Kristen Fewel

​

FULL CIRCLE YOGA is a place to learn, heal, and grow at your own pace, and to receive mentorship on your path toward developing your practice, knowledge, and confidence.​​

Mentorship Makes the Difference

 

We strongly believe that mentorship and practice hours of actual teaching with the supervision of an experienced yoga teacher is what helps new teachers become effective teachers.  Our mission is to help every serious student who wants to learn and teach yoga be competent and confident in doing so. Since 2011 we have trained more than 120  yoga teachers for yoga centers, hospitals, schools, dance academies, community centers, and colleges, as well as in living rooms, parks, and retreat centers.

​

We feel that effective teaching and supportive learning environments are what make good teachers, not merely a benchmark of hours set by a membership organization. It is from this standpoint that we discontinued our membership with Yoga Alliance in 2020 after 10 years of membership, even though we continue to EXCEED their standard for anatomy, ethics, and mentorship.

 

Our program is suitable for newer students looking to understand yoga in greater depth, as well as experienced practitioners who wish to become teachers of yoga and meditation. We teach a gentle, adaptable, and appropriate practice of asana (posture), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation for students from any background or ability.
