what is a 200-hour yoga teacher training?
A 200-hour YTT is a comprehensive program designed to deepen your understanding of yoga—from movement and anatomy to philosophy and teaching. It's the foundational training recognized by Yoga Alliance and the first step toward becoming a certified yoga instructor.
who is this training for?
This training is for anyone craving a deeper connection to themselves and their practice. Whether you dream of teaching or simply want to learn more about yoga and intentional living, this program is for you. No perfect poses or prior certifications required—just a willingness to show up and grow.
do i need previous experience?
Nope! You do not need to be advanced in your physical practice or have teaching experience. This training is designed to meet you where you are and help you build a strong foundation—from the ground up.
what if i don't want to be a teacher?
That’s totally okay. Many people take YTT for personal growth. You'll deepen your practice, cultivate self-awareness, and learn to live more intentionally—whether or not you ever step in front of a class.
what if i am traveling or miss a day?
Students are allowed to miss up to one full weekend (17 hours) without penalty. Beyond that, additional missed hours must be made up through private sessions with a lead instructor at a rate of $100/hour. If over 34 hours are missed, even with make-ups, certification becomes ineligible.
what does a typical training weekend look like?
Each weekend blends learning, movement, and connection. Expect a mix of flow-based yoga practices, lectures on yoga philosophy, sequencing and anatomy, hands-on workshops, and time for group discussion and reflection.
What is your refund policy if I do not complete the training?
Because we reserve your spot and provide access to all materials, we do not offer refunds for students who do not complete the training—whether due to missed hours, relocation, personal circumstances, or failure to meet graduation requirements.
Requests to transfer tuition to a future training will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
what time of time commitment can i expect?
You’ll complete 130 hours in person over eight weekends, 40 hours of remote, self-paced learning, and 30 hours of in-studio yoga class participation. Expect to dedicate additional time for readings, journaling, and self-reflection between weekends.
Will I be qualified to teach yoga after this training?
Yes! Graduates who complete all requirements and pass the final evaluations will be eligible to register as a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance and start teaching right away.
do i need to be healthy?
Yoga meets you where you are. You don’t need to be super fit or flexible to begin—you just need to be open. That said, this program is physically and emotionally demanding, so we encourage checking in with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
