Transform Your Practice

Peak Yoga's 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training: 

March 2026-June 2026

    Peak Yoga invites you to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga. Our 200-hour teacher training, led by Studio Director Katie Shanley, is more than a path to becoming a yoga teacher. It’s a transformative journey that encourages self-discovery and personal growth.

    This training provides a unique opportunity to deepen your practice and connect more profoundly with yourself, whether or not you choose to teach professionally. While mastering physical poses can be a rewarding aspect, the core of this program focuses on cultivating self-awareness, compassion, and authenticity. Investing in this training enriches your yoga practice and your life beyond the mat, supporting a holistic approach to personal development.

    About Katie Shanley, Lead Instructor

    With over fifteen years of experience in yoga, my practice blends philosophy, strength and mindfulness through a Vinyasa style. My foundational 200-hour training was in hot power yoga, followed by a 300-hour certification in Hatha and Ashtanga. Additionally, I hold certifications in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yin Yoga, Buti, and Barre. My teaching approach is highly intuitive, often integrating various styles into a single class.

    Through the Peak Yoga teacher training, my aim is to help you tap into your intuition, creativity, and confidence. Whether you choose to teach or not, you will discover and develop your unique voice. I believe that yoga teachers are more than instructors; we are beacons of empowerment. My own practice has taught me to embrace wisdom, minimize suffering, and use life’s challenges as opportunities for growth.

      “Katie crafted a program that was both deep and light. We got a firm grounding in yoga history, yoga philosophy, asana practice, anatomy, Sanskrit, pranayama, chakras, meditation and mantra. We also learned how to skillfully prepare sequences for a class, aligning the physical practice with a theme or affirmation. Our several supervised practice teaching sessions helped me learn more of the finer points of pacing a class and feeling into how much needs to be spoken and how much space can be created for students to feel their own experience.”

      “The most well organized and extraordinary program. Everything we talked about, we did with care and depth. It gave me all the tools that I need to feel comfortable teaching, but also to make me want to learn even more. Katie put such care and love into each of her students and it definitely paid off. My view on yoga has completely altered in the best way possible. I would recommend this yoga school to anyone that will listen.”

      “A safe space to ask questions and grow as an individual. With a thorough understanding of all aspects of the practice of yoga, we were also given the space to question our instructors and make our practice our own. We grew together as a collective. Navigating this world during a global pandemic and an uprising has been incredibly difficult, our lessons were essential in these times. As a BIPOC individual, I was made to feel safe, heard, and uplifted. 10/10 would recommend.”

      “Not only is the lead trainer, Katie Shanley, a wealth of knowledge, she also is a natural group leader. There is something to be said for an instructor who acknowledges her own strengths and, then, brings in guest instructors to facilitate aspects of the training *they* are experts in. From the very first day of training, the sense of family in our group was evident, and that is due in large part to Katie’s warmth and welcoming energy. Katie’s knowledge of asanas and cueing is spot on, which is great for anyone looking to deepen their personal practice or is looking to teach classes. Katie was able to weave asanas, philosophy, chakras, Ayurveda, essential oils, and more into each and every class hour. I would recommend this training to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, heart-led instructor to lead them deeper into all things yoga.”
