INTRODUCING OUR 2026/2027
ARISE YOGA CALIFORNIA TRAINING
OAKLAND | AUG 28, 2026-JAN 24, 2027
The world is changing, and more than ever, we’re all in need of steady, strong, patient, and compassionate voices to model centeredness, to rise up and lead. Arise Yoga is excited to announce a comprehensive vinyasa-focused teacher training taught through a social justice lens, with a strong emphasis on how to teach and embody the tenets of yoga in your every day life.
Awaken your spirit and your soul
Arise Yoga stands with our community for social justice. However you identify, no matter your skill level or background, you are welcome to practice. To learn from teachers with diverse roots and unmatched offerings. To connect with open spirits and build community, relationships, and connections with fellow practitioners. We hope that nothing stands in the way of you unrolling your mat and breathing with us, wherever you are in the world, and wherever you are in your practice.
Upcoming Workshops & Events

This gentle gathering invites you to honor the shift from Summer to Fall.
Little Yogi is designed for 2-5 year olds. It is a fun way to bond with a little Yogi.
Reconnect to yourself mid-week. Practice will begin with a luxurious candlelit slow flow to help release the energy of the day, and culminate in an incredibly restful and restorative Yoga Nidra.
If you’ve ever heard an instructor offer a pose with the caveat - “if it’s in your practice” - and wished the shape was in fact in your practice, this class is for you!

Learning the Language of Your Body
Your body is constantly communicating with you, yet many of us have learned to normalize or override these vital signals.
The Iyengar method emphasizes alignment, progressive sequencing, and (sometimes) longer holds; practicing this way acts as a meditative tool to go deeper and strengthen the mind-body connection.
