Manifest Your
Inner Teacher
A 9-month Yoga Teacher Training + Self Discovery Journey starting March 24!
The Essence of Our Program
Manifest Your Inner Teacher is 9-month Yoga Teacher Training Program AND journey for personal transformation. With the intention of cultivating your inner wisdom, we guide you through Yoga, Ayurveda & Tantra - traveling from the Seeds of our intentions to Blooming into our individual expressions of Teacher.
As this is not your typical YTT, we will not have a typical approach to sharing our knowledge and we allow you to embrace your own way to the Teacher. There's no right, no wrong, no one method that fits all, but rather an opportunity to explore and express your true uniqueness.

Friday: 6 to 9 pm
Saturday: 8:30 am to 6:30 pm
Sunday: 8:30 am to 6:30 pm

The Journey
A 9-month Yoga Teacher Training + journey of transformation, manifestation and radical self-care.
Here are the themes for each weekend module:
It is all already in the seed. Ideas, projects, concepts, dreams and evolving expressions of yourself carry within all the potential of realization and manifesting. This journey starts with your intentional Seed, trusting you already know that you have it all. The rest of the cycle is supporting the seed in its sprouting, blossoming and manifesting process. We give you, in the first module, the foundational ground and safe setting to plant your seed.
Cultivating a rich soil for your seed to grow is crucial. It requires inquiring and assessing what our soil is made of, what it needs. From seasonal diet to yogic routines, we assist you into a daily practice to create and maintain a healthy soil, made of all 5 elements in the needed proportions required by your very uique seed.
Without some tools, weeds expressed as detrimental or unsupportive habits can take over and hinder the seed's development. With the use of powerful self-care tools, we tend to our inner and outer garden. It takes a bit of consistency, a bit of discipline, and much reaffirmed joy to carve regular 'me time' in our day, so the seedling can crack the ground surface to drink from the sun light.
Our ecosystem is not only the weather and climate we live in, rather it is our family, our friends, the people we interact with externally, our beliefs, values and perceptions over who we are and how we live, the daily choices we make that affect how we experience life. Becoming aware of how it affects our growth and deeper understanding of who we truly are, is also part of the manifesting process of our existence and what we hold dear to our heart.
As in the flow of nature, there are seasons that can change from one phase of life to another. Understanding and aligning ourselves to the seasons is a key component for high adaptability to change and on-going transformation. We cannot apply the same formula consistently through time. We honor the ebbs and flows of our own rhythm, and tweak our self-care formulation accordingly.
The ripening process involves shining the light onto us, and what is coming out of us, looking at the deeper layers of our being showing up to the surface in their own shade, color and flavor, reaffirming its beautiful uniqueness. We start owning who we are, without shame, unlimited and unrestricted. The ripening is an act of courage towards full expression!
The Seed has grown into its full potential, and its ability now to give back and plant seeds out has unlocked. If you thought you'd never be a teacher, that you had nothing to share with others, this is the time you might be called for it, to realize that self-discovery and growth bring forth an instinctual and natural 'give-receive' exchange. This is a phase of expansion into more freedom, where you rely more on your instinctual and creative self to guide your daily practices.
You are now harvesting the fruits of your journey full circle, collecting the seeds of wisdom and beauty that are being released once this process has come to completion. It does not aim for perfection, nor for all that you’ve asked for to be here fully grown. You are abundant, nourished, inspired, and transformed from Seed to Harvest.
Time to shine through your unique voice and give back what you've received, and keep on receiving. You are now the Teacher from deep within, an original expression of Existence as you. You are home, and you remember it, over and over with your practice. The Practice is not separate from you, it is now a truly loyal, non judgmental companion and instrument to deepen, feed and sustain an intimate connection to your Self.

MYIT Testimonials
“I found Manifest Your Inner Teacher to be MUCH more than a yoga teacher training program. It is a lovingly and skillfully held container for the exploration of a practice-based lifestyle that holds vast potential for transforming body, mind, and spirit. Whether or not you seek to teach, Douchka and Barb walk their talk, demonstrating that the potency of what you have to offer the world relies on how dedicated you are to your own journey of growth and discovery--one where there is no substitute for first-hand experience. I was impressed by the amount and variety of valuable tools, practices, and resources I received through MYIT. I appreciated the (needed!) time between modules to deepen my own explorations of what was introduced, while knowing I could reach out to my teachers and fellow students for support any time I needed to. Thank you, Yana Shala!”
—Joanna Hathcock, Creative Entrepreneur
“I have participated in the Yana Shala Manifest Your Inner Teacher program three years in a row because the skills are so rich and deep. I wanted to savor and digest them over time. I already had my yoga certification and have been practicing and teaching yoga for over 50 years. But as I got older, I found myself falling into some bad habits. I was using alcohol to self soothe, having bouts of depression, gaining weight, and losing my zest for life. I found I needed some radical self-love and self-care. MYIT has been my life saver. It has taught me to relax and let go into the unknowns and ambiguity of life and be present. I have learned the importance of daily practice to heal, renew. and grow. I have learned how to move in healing ways, how to breathe, and how to use colorful seasonally selected health giving foods to fire up my digestion. Each year I deepen my practices. Douchka and Barb are graceful, brilliant, Intuitive advocates for deep learning. The variety of teachers and practices they incorporate is phenomenal. I have bonded with and learned from many beautiful participants in the program. MYIT builds a learning community that celebrates uniqueness, depth, and support. This has been one of the most important gifts of my lifetime.”
