Yoga School

Deepen your practice. Teach with confidence. Return to yourself.

You’ve been practicing yoga for a while now. You’re craving more than just a library of poses and class scripts — you want to understand the why.

You’re curious about teaching (maybe now, maybe one day, maybe just how it happens and the thought behind it.)

You want to learn from grounded teachers who don’t care if you can do a handstand.

You want a training that honors both tradition and modern wisdom.

You want to learn how to teach all aspects of yoga, not just choreographing sets of poses. You don’t want surface-level. You want meaning.

Starting in 2026, this training will be offered on a rolling basis year round. You’ll be able to start when you want and graduate once you’ve completed all graduation requirements. Specific dates coming soon!

Join us for Yoga School. Whether you want to teach yoga or you want to learn as much as you can, we have a path for you.

  • Asana library with a focus on anatomy and biomechanics

  • Foundational anatomy for teaching + everyday life

  • Principles for teaching trauma-informed yoga classes

  • How to teach diverse bodies with creativity and care

What past students say about this training…

  • “I believe Heart of Wisdom Yoga School to be the most carefully constructed and mindfully curated 200 hour training in the Nashville area. I will never be able to say enough good things about my experience and how well I was prepared to begin to teach. Kim is so thoughtful in her approach and so well prepared and generous with her knowledge. I am grateful that a yoga school like this exists.”

  • “The HOW Yoga Teacher Training is the perfect marriage of the science of the body, the deep heritage of yoga, and the exploration of the self.”

  • “My 200 hour at HOW Yoga School was an amazing, holistic experience. Kim is a great leader and teacher, and her focus on anatomy and providing space for your students was core to my learning and in turn, teaching.”

  • “If you're considering yoga teacher training, go for it! It's a transformative journey that deepens your practice and connects you to your mind, body, and soul. Choose a teacher who inspires you—someone like Kim, who beautifully blends anatomy, mindfulness, history. The supportive community you'll find in training is invaluable, as they’ll be there to help you grow and share the experience. Teacher training should be more than teaching shapes—and this one is about learning how to embody yoga in every aspect of your life.”
