About this retreat

Sangha Yoga School is located on the shore of quintessential Westerly, Rhode Island, and Mystic, Connecticut. Focused on community and being of service in the world as yoga teachers, this yoga teacher training is disciplined, yet fun (think dance parties), and includes the outdoors, private sanctuaries, self-care, self-study as well as all the important standards required by Yoga Alliance.

You will leave this training feeling confident to lead a yoga class to all levels, have a deeper understanding of how to incorporate a yogic lifestyle, and stronger mind and body, you will have the tools to market your yoga class/workshops, and a personal transformation through the work you do during self-study, meditation, and asana. You will also have a new yoga family and your lead instructor's guidance for life. We will always be here for you.

If you are traveling to this training, stay with us at the Yogi Bed & Breakfast within walking distance of the training center in beautiful downtown Westerly, Rhode Island.

We are a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, which designates this teacher training program as one that follows Yoga Alliance’s standards. Students who complete the training hours with this school and pass the exam will be eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs).

What students say

★★★★★

As reflected in the Sangha Yoga School’s message, the community (*Sangha*) is vital to supporting personal and collective transformation through shared practice and wisdom. This philosophy, as taught by inspiring guides like Annie and Maggie, invites a lifelong journey inward, where the world indeed becomes a studio for applying these timeless teachings. I cannot express enough gratitude for the transformative experience at Sangha Yoga School. Completing the 2025 class has been a journey of growth, connection, and self-discovery. Our Sangha teacher’s leadership was a testament to our collective love of yoga, for our love as a community, our dedication to each other, and the profound transformation we’ve undergone together. A special thank you to our incredible teachers, Annie (@earthannieyoga) and Maggie (@maggieijskinner), whose guidance, wisdom, and warmth have been the heart of this journey. From laughing and crying to blossoming as a community, they’ve nurtured us from students to certified yoga teachers. The mat was just the beginning, and now, with their inspiration, the world becomes our studio. Thank you, Annie and Maggie, for shining your bright light and leading us with such grace. Namaste!
