About Us
Three Sisters Yoga is a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher training school based in NYC. We’ve been solely focused on yoga teacher development and training for over 16 years. We offer yoga teacher certification programs, continuing education workshops.
Our philosophy
Our name comes from the Native American agricultural tradition of planting the “three sisters”— corn, beans, and squash— together. Each of the distinctly different plants supports the others growth, creating a balanced and sustainable natural system.
This idea of mutual support is an analogy for the kind of yoga we are growing; a yoga that nurtures, protects and supports, that strives to bring out the best in each of us and gives back to an ever widening community.
The Three Sisters are a powerful reminder of our connection to the earth, to our interdependence, and our ability to sustain ourselves through loving kindness towards others.
Our approach
We believe yoga teachers should strive to meet students where they are; to be as inclusive, diverse, and as accessible as possible. We are committed to creating space and programming to empower, educate and encourage each student as an individual. At the same time, we are a community where different bodies, backgrounds, and experiences are respected, celebrated, and valued.
Our curriculum continues to evolve as we learn, listen, and grow together. We aim to teach in a way that is thoughtful, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience, supporting each student as they deepen their practice and develop their own singular voice as a teacher.
Welcome. We are so glad you are here.
