RYT200 teacher training

We offer our RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training program in a series of modules, each Core Module is taught over a period of two (2) days. Our program includes all materials for the Core RYT200 training. There is nothing to buy, no additional workshops, classes, or costs. The price you pay is all-inclusive for the entire training and includes all manuals and materials necessary for the core modules.

We believe you learn to teach yoga by teaching yoga. Practicing yoga teaches you how to practice yoga, teaching yoga teaches you how to teach yoga. With this in mind, you will have the opportunity to lead a yoga class to fellow trainees each weekend of training. You will receive feedback from the Master Trainer and develop your skills as a Yoga Instructor.

Our many options enable you to choose a training program most convenient to your schedule and to meet your specific goals.
