$0.00 CYTT Info Session - Oct 2024


Curious about the 2025 Circle Yoga Teacher Training? Join us for this info session at the studio or online to meet the trainers and learn about the program. We'll begin with a 20-minute asana practice for all levels, then there will be a program overview and plenty of time for questions.

The Circle Yoga Teacher Training is hybrid program, which means that you can participate in person or online, as it works for you. Whether you choose to pursue the 200-Hour Teacher Training for certification to teach yoga or the 175-Hour Yoga Immersion to deepen your personal practice, you'll take a deep dive into the world of yoga and explore yoga philosophy, asana, meditation, pranayama, and more. And, with the year-long format of the program, you'll have time to integrate what you learn and build connections in a supportive learning community. 

See full program and pricing information.

Remember to submit your application for the program by November 1, 2024 to take advantage of Early Bird pricing. Questions? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us.



Phil Bender

Philip Bender (YACEP, E-RYT 500) creates yoga and meditation classes to facilitate greater joy, confidence and connection in the lives of beginners and experienced practitioners alike. With a clear style, dry humor and occasional irreverence, he shares traditional teachings in an accessible way to inspire students and connect them to the wisdom of their own bodies.

An initiate of the Himalayan tradition, Philip currently follows the embodied path of Dharma Ocean. He leads workshops and retreats as well as weekly hatha yoga and meditation classes throughout the area, including the Freer Gallery of Art and Anne Arundel Community College, where he is adjunct faculty in the yoga teacher training program through Yoga 4 Life, LLC.

What to expect in class
Philip's classes connect movement with breath to draw students out of chronic overthinking and into the inherent wisdom of their own bodies. His mindful approach of combining dynamic and static postures with focus is influenced by the Viniyoga and ParaYoga traditions as well as the somatic lineage of Dharma Ocean. Philip is inspired daily by his students and family while drawing from a BA in philosophy, experience as a performing artist, Buteyko breathing, twelve years as a dad, and long-term personal practice to impart the profound yet practical wisdom of moving inward.
