The Dual Threat: Why the Best Leaders Move on Land and Water

In the world of leadership, versatility is power.

At Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, we don't just want to train yoga teachers. We want to train world-class leaders who are as comfortable commanding a heated studio as they are navigating the open water. We want you to be a Dual Threat.

That’s why for our Winter/Spring 2026 session, we are doing something we've never done before: When you enroll in our Awaken 200-Hour Teacher Training, we are including our 12-Hour SUP Yoga Teacher Training ($1,200 value) for FREE.

Why Both?

You might be wondering, "I just want to learn to teach yoga—why do I need the water?"

Here’s the truth: Leading on a paddleboard requires a level of presence, adaptability, and vocal clarity that you just can't simulate on solid ground.

  • On the Mat: You learn the Baptiste Power Yoga methodology, the Journey Into Power sequence, and the art of Inquiry to find your unique voice.

  • On the Water: You learn to manage an unpredictable environment, safety protocols, and how to lead a group through the "Messy Middle."

Navigating the Messy Middle

What is the "Messy Middle"? It’s that uncomfortable space where the initial excitement has worn off, but the results haven't quite shown up yet.

On the water, it’s that moment when the wind picks up and you’re struggling to stay balanced. You aren't falling, but you certainly aren't "graceful" yet. In life and leadership, the Messy Middle is where most people quit because it feels like failure. But at Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, we know the Messy Middle is actually where the breakthrough happens.

By training on both land and water, you learn to stay present and keep breathing when things get messy and no matter what comes up. When you can lead through the mess, you develop a level of confidence that is unshakable in EVERYTHING you do.

First Come, First Served

We only have a certain number of boards in our fleet. This "Dual Threat" bonus is only available to those who secure their spot in the 200-Hour YTT early. Once the boards are claimed, the bonus disappears.

If you’ve been thinking about YTT, this is the time to move. You aren't just getting a certificate; you’re getting a competitive edge and a skill set that sets you apart as a leader in the Pack.

Your Action Plan:

  1. Enroll ASAP: Lock in your 200-Hour spot to ensure you get the free SUP certification before the boards are gone.

  2. Mark the Calendar: Our journey begins January 29th. Be ready to hit the ground running.

  3. Get the Blueprint: Download the free Spotted Dog Power Yoga Playbook and start shifting your mindset right now.
