The Nest Collaborative, in West Reading, invites aspiring yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners to embark on a transformative journey with its 2026 Awakened Heart Yoga Teacher Training, a 200-hour Yoga Alliance-approved program starting March 24, 2026.

Grounded in the philosophy of “open hands, open heart,” this training emphasizes that teaching yoga begins not with perfection, but with love. Participants will cultivate self-awareness, self-care and self-compassion while learning the skills needed to guide classes with confidence and clarity. Through clear instruction in asana, anatomy and alignment, paired with a heart-centered approach, participants will be supported in teaching with authenticity, curiosity and compassionate leadership.

Graduates will be prepared to inspire healing, transformation and connection—both in their own lives and in the lives of their students. More than a professional certification, Awakened Heart training offers a profound personal journey toward leading from abundance rather than depletion. Enrollment is now open, with the first free information session taking place from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on September 28, 2025.
