The training takes place at the Yoga Center at Solar Hill, a tranquil yoga studio atop a beautiful mansion in Brattleboro, Vermont. This idyllic country setting features large porches for lunching and relaxing, extensive gardens, and a system of trails that start right from the backyard for hiking through the woods in all seasons. Yet despite the retreat feeling that permeates Solar Hill, the Yoga Center is only minutes from downtown, where cafes, restaurants, and boutiques offer pleasant diversions.

“I have had the privilege of studying and practicing yoga with Scott Willis since 1992. Scott’s knowledge of yoga practice and philosophy is vast, and he is deeply committed to sharing it with others.”
– S.J., Educator, Brattleboro VT

“In leading the Yoga Teacher Training, Scott’s love of teaching, clear and thorough presentations, and humane approach to yogic studies are always evident. As a result, he has a special ability to empower his students to become more than they imagine they can be, not only as yoga teachers but as human beings.”
