Prakriti’s Way Teacher Training
Transform on every level with a unique deep dive into yoga, recovery, and healing.
Prakriti’s Way Teacher Training program offers a journey to deepen your own personal practice and your recovery. "Prakriti" means both Mother Nature and the elements that make up your being. Prakriti's Way will help you find your unique life’s purpose.
Through this program you will deepen your personal healing, but you will also leave with tools to help heal those around you and our environment.
Shea Tree Center has worked with indigenous cultures around the world to develop a program that shares their wish and knowledge for humanity’s potential to heal in tandem with the Earth.
Curriculum
Recovery
Prakriti’s Way deeply explores the twelve steps and recovery through a unique integration with the spiritual healings of yoga, nature, indigenous perspectives, and artistic expression. Through this course we provide our teachers with the ability to teach yoga classes from a place of authenticity and connection
Yoga
Prakriti’s Way training provides a deep knowledge about the body’s anatomy from both a scientific and spiritual standpoint. We combine modern and ancient knowledge about our connection to our body. Our teachings aid recovery on a cellular level.
Chakras
Trauma and addiction also live in the physical body. Chakras are the energy centers of the physical body, and by understanding how they behave when they are out of alignment, we can begin to heal those areas of our lives.
Nature Awareness
By shifting our thoughts through meditation, we are able to hear nature and her guidance once again. Prakriti’s Way Training will train you to quiet the mind and increase your body’s attunement to nature's signals.
Indigenous Wisdom
Shea Tree Center has worked extensively with Indigenous People. They have asked Shea Tree to forward their teachings with those on the path to healing. This training provides their perspective on recovery. Namely, that by healing ourselves we in turn heal the earth and learn how to exist on the planet harmoniously.
Expressive Arts
Through the expressive act of creation, we develop a way to turn our suffering into art. We must value the medicine of these emotions by giving them a voice. The Indigenous teachings we share ask us to transform the negative into positive through a creative outlet. Our students learn how to express, rather than implode, the force of their emotions through a healthy outlet.

Feedback on Prakriti’s Way Training
“I consider myself extremely blessed and honored to experience Lisa’s yoga for the last 15 years. So, when the opportunity presented itself during the pandemic to become a certified yoga instructor with Lisa, I didn’t waver or hesitate to learn under her. Lisa, is a gifted and sage leader and healer who generously shares her inner-tools and resources with her students. Even when you’ve been on the spiritual journey a long time, Lisa gently supports and guides you in going even deeper and discovering new jewels. You will graduate from her program with not only tools to support your own yoga students, but skills for a lifetime to support you along your journey. You will be transformed and your spiritual insight will be forever enhanced.”
