Hi! We're your guides, Aaron & Will.



With nearly 20 years immersed in the practice and principles of yoga, Aaron and Will bring deep experience, compassion, and purpose to Be Your Own Yoga Teacher. Their journey began in Palo Alto, CA in 2005, where they discovered yoga’s transformative power and began a lifelong path of learning, practicing, and teaching.

Today, as co-founders of the Human Connection Initiative, they believe yoga can be more than a personal practice, it can be a way to serve, connect, and strengthen communities. Through this training, Aaron and Will will help you deepen your own practice, develop your authentic voice, and gain the confidence to share yoga wherever it is needed most.


The Course

Imagine rolling out your mat wherever you are, with the knowledge and confidence to create a yoga practice tailored to you, by you. This training goes beyond the physical practice, helping you deepen your self-awareness, cultivate mindfulness, and listen more closely to what your body needs.

As your practice grows, so does your ability to share it. You’ll develop the skills to guide others with compassion and adapt yoga for different needs, environments, and communities. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, preparing to teach, or feeling called to serve, this training equips you to use yoga as a lifelong practice of connection, healing, and meaningful impact.

What You Will Learn

Whether you’re beginning your yoga journey or deepening an established practice, this thoughtfully structured training will help you build a strong foundation without feeling overwhelmed. Each lesson blends yoga philosophy, postures, teaching principles, practical experience, and personal reflection, building naturally upon the last.

You’ll learn to create a practice that supports your physical, mental, and emotional well-being while developing the confidence and skills to guide others with compassion. With our support along the way, you’ll discover how yoga can become a lifelong practice of service to yourself, to others, and to your community.



Testimonial: Fiona Lin, Data Analyst



Taking the Yoga Belly 200-hour YTT was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself in years! Not only was I able to deepen my practice, but I also gained a true understanding of what yoga is and experienced the joy of teaching, bringing yoga into more people’s lives. I feel more connected to myself, both physically and mentally, and have discovered a new sense of purpose. Aaron and Will are incredible instructors, and I highly recommend this yoga teacher training to everyone.

Testimonial: Dr. Andrew Goldberg, Psy.D.


I began at Yoga Belly cleaning the studio, never imagining I would become a yoga teacher. Will saw potential in me that I didn't recognize and trained me to be both a yoga teacher and a better psychologist. His mentorship profoundly influenced my psychotherapy practice, emphasizing community and integrating yoga into daily life. I am forever grateful for the experiences and friendships I found at Yoga Belly.

Testimonial: Diana Yoel, Esq.


Taking Yoga Belly’s teacher training is one of the best experiences of my life. Aaron and Will are the best. They live and breathe yoga and are phenomenal teachers, mentors, practitioners and people. Could not recommend them or the the studio more highly.

One Training. One Transformative Journey.
