YOGA TEACHERS with HEART.....

Western Yoga College was founded by Scott Miller.  After conducting Hatha Yoga Teacher Training programs for six years at a studio he created in Riverside, CA,  his 200 hour general hatha yoga Teacher Training programs are now being conducted at FUN yoga studio in Riverside. This program is for anyone who loves yoga and wants to deepen their ability to experience and share hatha yoga in all of its main styles and expressions.  The Primary Teacher of the program is Scott Miller, E-RYT, but qualified guest teachers will also be part of the program and their combined experience guarantees students an exceptional and unique curriculum.

Western Yoga College is registered with Yoga Alliance.   Graduation from our program
translates directly to its 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher registration.

Nationally recognized . . . this program is distinguished by its broad yogic scope.
No other single school traces its roots back to all four of the main Hatha Yoga teachings. 
After running the first studio to offer daily classes taught by high level practitioners of
Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga, Scott is bringing that broad awareness of varied yoga practices more exclusively to this Teacher Training Program. Because Scott has studied directly with Ashtanga master Pattabhi Jois, Iyengar master Lisa Walford, Yin Yoga master Paul Grilley and Kundalini master Harijivan, Western Yoga College students are in turn exposed to the hatha yogic philosophies and pose methodologies that have shaped the American yoga world over the last thirty years.  Whatever style of yoga you may have already learned, and whatever way you want to develop as a teacher, Scott can be your guide, and if you take this yogic journey with him, no matter where you end up, you'll have immeasurably broadened your overall awareness of life.

Scott also has a degree in Fine Art and is a co-founder of the popular Southern California "Yoga Das 108 Peace Kirtan Band".  So, his guidance extends way past the usual teacher training boundaries, and gives students a chance to explore how their spirituality can be expressed through yoga music and art.  Teaching people how to instruct yoga poses comes first, but the program is also inspiring on a creative level.  And don't worry, no talent is required.  You're not expected to be a musician or an artist.  It's all just about personal energetic expression.  We learn how to love yoga in every way possible and then the love itself becomes what we teach.

It's also fine if you're unsure about becoming a yoga teacher.  Anyone serious about their practice can benefit from the course.  Most people who have graduated from WYC consider the time spent with us to be the most transformational experience of their life.
