Residential Yoga Teacher Training | Anywhere in the World with Michelle Rae Sobi

There comes a moment when life shifts.

The house gets quieter. The schedule opens up. The role you’ve been holding begins to change. And somewhere in that space, a question rises.

Now what?

This is for the woman who is ready to answer that question with intention.

For the one who has spent years giving, building, supporting, and showing up — and is now ready to step into something that is her own.

For the seasoned yoga teacher who knows there is more to offer than weekly classes, but wants guidance on how to expand with clarity.

For the individual seeking not just a reset, but a meaningful experience — one that blends structure, mentorship, and real-world application.

This is not a retreat you attend and leave behind.

This is a curated mentorship experience designed around you.

Program Overview

This offering is a 500-hour Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training: Trauma-Informed pathway designed to integrate structured education with immersive, real-world experience.

Students complete a total of 500 hours through a three-part structure:

100 hours completed prior to travel through in-person labs or interactive small group webinars

100 hours completed after returning through continued study, integration, and mentorship

The residential portion is completed as 30 days of 10-hour training days.

What Residential Means

Residential training is an immersive format where students live, study, and practice within the rhythm of a real environment.

This includes living and training in a chosen destination, participating in structured daily activities, and engaging in self-directed learning supported by real-time mentorship.

This format blends education, retreat, and real-world teaching into one cohesive experience.
