FAQs

  • A 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is an immersive educational program designed to deepen your personal yoga practice and provide you with the knowledge, skills, and experience to begin teaching yoga. The training explores asana, anatomy, philosophy, sequencing, teaching methodology, and the art of holding space for students.

  • Not at all! While the training prepares you with the foundational skills to teach, it is also an opportunity to deepen your personal practice, explore yoga philosophy, develop self-awareness, and build a deeper relationship with yourself.

  • No previous teaching experience is necessary. This training is designed to take you from student to teacher, building your confidence and skills along the way.

  • This is a fully in-person yoga teacher training. We believe that working with bodies in a physical space allows for a diverse educational setting: tactile, visual, auditory, etc.

  • Vinyasa is the primary style of Yoga Asana that will be taught in this training. Vinyasa is a sequence of postures strung together in an intelligent and fluid manner. Props are encouraged to deepen the practice and support the individual. Though all teachers in this training have experience with Ashtanga, Iyengar, Yin, and Restorative Yoga, Vinyasa will be the primary style we work with. It is important to note that beyond the postures we will explore Karma Yoga (selfless action and duty without attachment to the expectation of an outcome), Bhakti Yoga (devotion to the connection with source), Raja Yoga (practices like Vinyasa that help control the mind), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge and intellect which will be explored through philosophy, introspection and self-study).

  • We want to make this training accessible to anyone and everyone who is interested. Having prior yoga experience and an established personal practice before enrolling is recommended.

  • This training runs from March to December 2027. Every participant is expected to join the one weekend a month:

    • March 13 & 14

    • April 3 & 4

    • May 1 & 2

    • June 5 & 6

    • July 10 & 11

    • August 14 & 15

    • September 18 & 19

    • October 16 & 17

    • November 13 & 14

    • December 11 & 12

    Each session will run from 9:30am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday as scheduled above.

    Participants will be paired up with a yoga study buddy. This is your person to practice your teaching with! You can put in as much or as little time as you’d like to practice teaching outside of the training together based on your schedule.

    Individually, you will be expected to complete the homework assignments. It is our hope that the homework assignments do not add more than two hours of worktime a month.

  • It is our expectation that you attend every training day but we also know that life happens!

    If you have a prior obligation, let us know when you sign up for the training. This way we can work out a plan for you to make up the material you missed that works with your schedule!

    If you are sick and cannot attend, let us know as soon as possible. Your health is most important to us. We will schedule a make-up class for you when you’re feeling up for it!

  • Yes, specifically through Yoga Alliance!
