Amazing!
The training helped me build so much confidence in myself. I really liked the way the training was broken up into blocks. It made it so I could take it one step at a time and not get overwhelmed.
Emily and Jackie gave us all the tools we needed to be able to build a well balanced class. In the training they set it up so you got to experience the way poses felt in your body, visually see it on other bodies, and listen to the way a class sounds. They had something for every learning type. They were always available for questions and support.

This training is designed for real people, real bodies, and real growth — not perfection or performance.
This training is rooted in a heated yoga practice, using warmth as a tool to increase awareness, mobility, and nervous system insight.
Heat is not the point, but adaptability is.
Everything you learn can be applied in non-heated, gently warmed, or heated spaces, giving you the skills to teach with intelligence and flexibility across environments.
Our intention is to create a supportive, grounded learning environment where students feel:
If you’re reading this and feeling a quiet “yes” – even mixed with nerves – that’s often a sign this training is meant for you.
Meet the dedicated practitioners that will take you deep into the roots of yoga, from its philosophy and its mindfulness to the practice of breath and movement.
Guest instructors from Mountain Yoga and the broader Salt Lake yoga community will be assisting in some portions of the training.
Jackie Wheeler
Founder and Instructor, Mountain Yoga Sandy
Founder of Mountain Yoga Sandy since 2003, Jackie has been a dedicated yoga practitioner for over 25 years. She was originally certified by Bikram Choudhury in 2000. Jackie’s ambition to expand has led her to study with many teachers from various traditions. Her diversified background has provided the inspiration and foundation to create the 5 Elemental System that is unique to Mountain Yoga. This system enables one to utilize the various methods of yoga to build a more personalized and sustainable approach that is adapted to the needs and goals of the practitioner.
This training has given me a SOLID base, an invaluable foundational knowledge
The individual & collective wisdom and experience of the amazing teachers involved in this training just can’t be overstated.
It’s such an amazing, life-changing opportunity that the word opportunity itself feels too small.
All of which have allowed me to give myself permission to REALLY and TRULY begin to identify and step into my teacher-self with a self-confidence I’ve frankly not known before.

This training welcomes all bodies and focuses on longevity, adaptability, and personal growth on and off the mat.
