Kind Yoga Teacher Training – Kind Yoga School created the first Cape Cod based, Yoga Alliance Registered 200 and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. We have trained hundreds of highly successful Yoga teachers who teach both locally and nationally. While many take our training to become certified to teach Hatha yoga, others take the training to deepen their own yoga practice. Regardless of whether you plan to teach, you will receive valuable experience and insights that you will find immediately relevant in your personal life. Immerse yourself in a deep experience of yoga, and be with a friendly community of folks committed to learning more about yoga. Our intention is to assist you in finding your own path and your own truth. Yoga is a lifetime study, we trust you will receive the proper foundation for your journey here.

Note from Kind Yoga Grad and Yoga Teacher:
“I love my work! To watch students become more comfortable in their bodies, to witness stress as it melts into bliss, to feel the love I send out reflected in students’ faces…just incredible! Today and every day I feel such gratitude to my teacher Diane Kovanda for bringing us Kind yoga and for teaching me to use and live my yoga.” – Heidi Champagne

Kind Restorative Breathing – We have special classes and training in Kind Restorative Breathing – Restorative Breathing is a profound tool for healing tension on all levels of being. The practice is based in connected Dirgha (complete) breathing, coupled with mindful intentions and deep relaxation. A restorative session of breathing and relaxing helps you to release stress and awaken to your true self. Many people feel more centered, energized and lighter about their journey in life after their 1st session. Try a brief sample session here. Relax in a quiet place and breathe.
