Our unique Approach

What Is YUJMU

At YUJMU, we believe that true teaching stems from deep personal experience.

Our 30-hour Mindful Art Teacher Training is designed to cultivate not just knowledge, but wisdom through direct practice and reflection.

We prioritize the subtleties of creativity and expression—exploring how each technique, practice, and intention creates profound shifts in both Artist and viewer.

With a strong emphasis on grounded, pragmatic understanding and balance, our training guides you to connect more deeply with yourself as the present moment allowing you to express and (if you wish) teach with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

Is This For You?

the aspiring teacher

- Grid example characters/personalities who the training is ideal for and why it suits them
- Representative testimonial snippets

the enthusiastic beginner

Sometimes life can feel flat or difficult to connect to. We are given so many quick fixes, so many things to consume. Take back control and explore the array of meaning to be found within you and around you by embracing creation practices, Art practices.

the lifelong learner

Art is an ideal bridge between Spiritual practices and inner wisdom. If you are into spirituality, Art can enrich & refine that. If you are not into spirituality but feel your Yoga or meditation practices plateauing, Art can show you paths to suit your personal beliefs.

the ready for a changer

Routines are great and often essential for daily life but sometimes the healthiest choice is to switch things up and explore other dimension & new ideas. Art is the vehicle for this and we have created this program as the ideal entry into that mindset.

the stressed out parent or worker

If you are a teacher looking for unique offerings and skills to help you stand uniquely apart from all the yoga teachers out there, this is it.

The curious soul

There is a reason this program is shining a light onto both Mindfulness and Art. You can be into one or the other but the pairing is both sublime and transcendent. That is not hyperbole, Art and Mindfulness are both liminal experiences where inner and outer merge. If that piques your curiosity, we made this for you.
