Beyond the Mat: Why Awaken YTT is a Leadership Training in Disguise
There is a common misconception that you only sign up for a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training if you want to stand at the front of a studio and teach classes.
At Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, we see it differently.
While our Awaken 200-Hour Training will absolutely give you the tools to lead a world-class Baptiste Power Yoga class, that’s only half the story. The real work is about who you become in the process. This is a leadership activation program. It’s a 200-hour deep dive into finding your unique voice and having the grit to use it.
The Anatomy of a Leader
In the studio, we use the mat as a laboratory. When you’re in the middle of a long hold or a challenging sequence, your "stuff" comes up. Your doubts, your excuses, and your desire to play it safe all rise to the surface.
In the Awaken training, we don't avoid those moments—we lean into them. We use the Baptiste Power Yoga methodology to practice:
Presence: Being fully "in" your life, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Effective Communication: Learning to speak with clarity and power, not just fluff.
Adaptability: Navigating the "messy middle" of growth with confidence.
These aren't just "yoga skills." These are the skills you need to lead a boardroom, a household, a team, or—most importantly—yourself.
Find Your Unique Voice
The world doesn't need more people who can recite a script or mimic someone else’s style. It needs people who are awake to their own potential and their unique way of contributing to the world. Through the process of Inquiry (self-study), you’ll begin to strip away the "shoulds" and the "what-ifs" that have been holding you back.
You’ll graduate from this program not just with a certificate, but with a new level of self-trust. You’ll know how to take the seat of the leader in any room you walk into.
