HERE’S THE PROBLEM...
Problem No. 01
Many yoga teacher trainings under-prepare you. You memorize cues and sequences, yet still don’t trust yourself to adapt, improvise, or teach real humans with confidence.
Problem No. 02
Many programs aren’t designed for real life. The pace is rigid, the schedule is demanding, and integration is an afterthought; making it hard to balance practice, work, family, and rest without burning out.
Problem No. 03
Yoga is often taught in fragments. Philosophy here, anatomy there, embodiment somewhere else—without a clear framework to weave it all together into a sustainable personal practice or an intelligent, embodied way of teaching.

Thank you, Selena, ”

Her teaching style, both in her yoga classes and YTT modules is concise, energetic, challenging (come prepared to work), and fun. Selena’s assignments and in class exercises can be difficult (some physically, some mentally) but build on one another, and are incredibly helpful in establishing a strong foundation in all of the subtleties that go into teaching safely, intelligently and successfully.

IS THIS FOR YOU?
The Practice Path 200-Hour Teacher Training is a strong fit if you:
- Feel called to deepen your yoga practice beyond the physical postures
- Want to teach yoga with intelligence, clarity, and embodied presence
- Are ready for a training that is rigorous, comprehensive, and thoughtfully paced
- Value philosophy, anatomy, and embodiment as essential—not optional
- Want mentorship, structure, and support while still learning to trust your own voice
- Are committed to showing up, practicing, studying, and integrating what you learn
This training may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick certification, a purely fitness-based program, or a light, surface-level introduction to yoga.
Why This Training Is Different
The Practice Path is not a one-size-fits-all yoga teacher training. It is intentionally designed for practitioners who want depth, integration, and real embodiment, not just information or choreography.
Rather than separating anatomy, philosophy, and practice into silos, this training weaves them together into a cohesive, living framework. You’ll study Katonah Yoga® and Classical Yoga, supported by somatic embodiment, applied anatomy, and the wisdom of Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine so what you learn is not only understood intellectually, but felt and lived in the body.
This is a training that prioritizes discernment over memorization, presence over performance, and sustainability over speed. The result is not just certification, but a way of practicing and teaching yoga that continues to deepen long after the training is complete.
The lifetime access to materials and access to continuing education means we emerge and evolve together.
INSTANT ACCESS TO MODULE 1 →The Practice Path is Different Because
you are taught how to think, not what to think. You are invited to explore multiple approaches to alignment, engage with diverse theoretical frameworks of practice, and study varied philosophical perspectives. Over time, this allows you to develop discernment, depth, and a narrative thread that is uniquely your own.

OUR SCHEDULE
Training with Flexibility
Yoga is both a practice and a teaching that asks something of us. The seat of the teacher carries responsibility, and this training honors that seriousness.
This is a professional 200-hour yoga teacher training with real rigor, designed to challenge you while still offering flexibility to move with your life. You’ll receive lifetime access to all recorded materials, allowing you to study and revisit the teachings at your own pace.
At the same time, your presence matters. A required number of live practice-teaching sessions ensures that your learning is embodied, not theoretical. If you’re unable to complete these sessions with your cohort, you’ll complete them with the next available group.
As your teacher, I must witness you teach. It is through live interaction and direct feedback that I can accurately assess your understanding, support your growth, and guide you into the seat of the teacher with clarity and integrity.
Small changes to the schedule may occur but you'll receive substantial notice

“The depth and quality of information goes above and beyond anything I've seen in my home town and support was always there.
Selena's classes are fun and inclusive and her instructions clear and enlightening. I can't recommend this course enough! ”
– JP Ireland
What people are saying
"I've had the privilege of being a student on Selena's online training and would recommend it to anyone
seeking a practical, flexible path to becoming a potent teacher or simply wishing to explore their own personal development or deepen their physical and spiritual practices and knowledge. It's no exaggeration to say that there is so much depth and scope to the content available to students - in such an accessible, convenient format - that it's hard to believe this training is not a 300 or 500hr program. A lot of 200hr yoga teacher trainings tend to emphasise or prioritise specific areas of study that reflect the teacher's knowledge and area of expertise. It is incredibly rare to find a teacher, like Selena Garefino, who possess such a profound understanding of functional mobility, yoga, breath work, and meditation - and her ability to transmit this knowledge to her students is unique. I know of very few teachers or 200hr teacher trainings around the world that can combine modern movement practices and scientific research-backed methods with such a profound, scholarly respect and exploration of ancient teachings and yoga philosophy to create an enriching educational experience for a student of any level. The fact that this depth of training is available in an online format, that is both convenient and rigorous , makes it an incredibly rare opportunity for students - and even qualified teachers - to develop potent new teaching and life skills, create new habits and feel encouraged and supported to realise their potential in sharing their unique medicine with the world. If you want a really solid grounding in philosophy, anatomy, movement, science and spirituality - and to be able to study in a way that works for you while feeling supported at all times, then I would recommend this training to you.
