Join the late Summer Hot 26 + 2 Teacher Training at Hot Yoga Louisville with Cindy Lunsford of Yogasoul Nashville, as well as other contributing instructors. Commit to becoming a stronger, more empowered and confident you, while learning the art of humility and acceptance.

The Hot 26 + 2 series stems from the same postures originally coordinated by Bikram Choudhury.

Have you experienced the power of the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises? Have you noticed incredible change, healing, and growth from your own journey with Bikram style yoga and are now ready to deepen that for yourself or share it with others?

Then this training is for you!

Accessibility: By scheduling weekend intensives, this training is built around those who have busy lives. We know that taking a month off for yoga training is not realistic for many people, so this training is spread out over 7 months on Saturdays and Sundays, giving you the ability to achieve your goals and maintain your current commitments in your life.

2026 Weekend Dates: August 22nd, September 12th, October 3rd, October 24th, November 14th, December 5th and January 9th

Value: This is an investment for both you and your future. Not only will you gain a certificate to teach a long-standing practice that is recognized around the world, but you will face challenges, get support, and find growth that will inform all areas of your life.

Perspective: This training will give you a strong foundation in the dialogue and postures, as well as encourage your own authentic voice. A truly amazing combination for confidence and development of a strong teacher.

More About This Training

Although this training emphasizes the physically-focused postures of original Bikram yoga series, we also provide a contextual understanding of yoga's lineage and honoring cultural appreciation and humility, covering topics such as history, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, Bhakti yoga plus the business of yoga, ethics, and more in order to provide you the best and most comprehensive training around.

This Yogasoul Teacher Training by Cindy Lunsford, and contributing instructors, is now accredited by the new American Yoga Council https://www.americanyogacouncil.com/ which we are very excited to join for the first time this year! This provides the opportunity for the graduates of this training to become a member of the AYC and an "AYC-CYT Level One" Yoga Teacher which is similar in standards to the previously accredited trainings noted as RYT 200 or 200 hour trainings, approved in past years through the Yoga Alliance.  We believe this newly organized accrediting group providing standards of ethics and practice in the US exemplifies and honors how yoga teachers can be better guided and supported, better acknowledging cultural contexts and respecting lineages of teachers and cultural practices, and we are excited to provide this new path for our community.
