200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
Awaken the Teacher Within
Immerse yourself in a transformative 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training designed to deepen your practice and empower you with the tools to confidently lead others on their yoga journey. This comprehensive training weaves together the ancient wisdom of yoga with a functional, modern approach to movement, mindfulness, and teaching.
What You’ll Learn:
Yoga History & Philosophy
Explore the roots of yoga through its classical texts, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita. Understand the philosophical foundations that inform ethical living, spiritual growth, and the deeper purpose of practice.
Sanskrit
Gain familiarity with key Sanskrit terms, chants, and posture names. Learn to pronounce and understand their meanings to honor the tradition and enhance your teaching vocabulary.
Meditation & Pranayama
Develop a daily meditation and breathwork practice. Learn classical pranayama techniques and meditation methods that balance the nervous system, cultivate inner awareness, and support mental clarity.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Study the Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series and learn the Short Form with a focus on breath, bandhas, and drishti. Learn how this structured system builds discipline, strength, and mindfulness in practice.
Functional Anatomy & Physiology
Explore the body’s systems through the lens of movement and yoga. Understand tension and compression, joint structure, muscle function, and energetic pathways to make your teaching safe, intelligent, and inclusive.
Asana, Alignment, & Assists
Deepen your understanding of asana through a functional movement perspective. Learn how to teach and modify poses for different bodies, give hands-on assists safely, and create intelligent, balanced sequences.
Yin Yoga & Sound Healing
Delve into the slower, meditative practice of Yin Yoga to access deeper connective tissues and emotional layers. Experience the healing power of sound through instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and mantra as a pathway to stillness and integration.
Whether you aspire to teach or simply wish to enrich your own practice, this training offers a powerful journey of self-discovery, connection, and embodied wisdom. Upon completion, you’ll be a certified 200-hour yoga teacher, ready to share the practice with authenticity, confidence, and heart.
