The completion of the Modo Yoga Teacher Training does not guarantee you a teaching position at your local Modo Yoga Studio.
If you are interested in teaching at your local Modo Yoga Studio, we strongly recommend that you check in with your local studio owner to see if any opportunities are available. With that being said, we empower trainees throughout the training to create their own teaching opportunities as an independent yoga teacher.
