WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM
We are honored and excited to offer a 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certification Program.  We are accepting just 5 students this session.  The school dives deeply into the material, giving you a solid understanding of Yoga from its very beginning through to its modern standing. Additionally we explore "self inquiry" and develop a strong knowledge of the philosophical, historical and theological realm of Yoga along with feeling confident to safely teach and adjust their students before they embark on a teaching journey. This program is also wonderful for those who are looking to enrich their Yogic studies.
Finding a 200 hour certification program is easy if you are looking for minimum requirements that any "Yoga Alliance registered school" is educationally required to give you.

Your Primary Instructor
Laura Wheeler, LMT, E-RYT 200
My yoga practice started as a basic Hatha practice over 12 years ago.  In 2011 I tried Ashtanga Yoga - I fell in love with the practice.  Prior to establishing Grace Studio,  I worked for several years with clients at Hoyt Chiropractic Center assisting them with Massage Therapy and Yoga postures that would help reduce pain and increase mobility for injuries and chronic pain. This led me to earn my 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certification, my E-200 RYT and then create the school.  Now furthering my studies with the 800 hour program at the "Traditional Yoga Studies" in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am also studying with Panacea Yoga for my additional 300 hour certification to become a 500 hour Yoga Alliance Certified teacher. In addition to the work I do at Grace both in Massage Therapy, Yoga Instruction and Yogic Lifestyle Support, I also teach Ashtanga Yoga at The Big White Barn in Readfield, ME, The Silo Workshop in Mount Vernon, ME and Chill Yoga in Lewiston, ME.
The most important thing to me is to have a direct, open and honest approach with both my clients and students. It is my passion to teach students what it feels like to be in the correct posture for their personal needs and abilities.  Without proper adjusting and aligning the student can feel a false sense of security in the posture and a potential injury can occur.  It is the responsibility of the teacher to support, nurture and give appropriate honest guidance.
I strongly believe that when we are living a Yogic lifestyle we become better versions of ourselves. It is my passion to support and to guide you in your journey.
