This is a 200hr training program that will take 10 months to complete. There are 50 hours of virtual lecture and 150 hours of live intensives. You will complete 5 intensives every other month, either virtually or live with us in-person. If you need to miss an intensive, no worries, we will record them and make those videos available to you so you can still graduate on time.

During the months in between your intensives, you will have the 50 hours of on demand lectures to complete at your own pace, an at home reading list to move through at your own pace, and we expect you to be commited to physical yoga practices to supplement what you are learning in those lectures.

You may take longer than 10 months to complete if needed. We find that 10 months is an ideal length of time to allow the training to work with your family and lifestyle, while also allowing time for the knowledge to build and integrate, as well as time to practice teach.

After your 10 months of training, you have up to one year to turn in your graduation materials and be approved to recieve your certificate.

This means you have access to all of your training video lectures until October of 2025. Your manual is yours to keep permanently.

When you are ready to expand your community, serve others, and grow in immeasurable ways – than choose one of the above training options!

Our 2023 trainig is full. However, our 2024 training sign ups just opened!

Choose the “reserve my spot” option next to the training style of your choice. You will be taken to our virtual studio, where you will create an account and follow the prompts.

Within 48 hours you will receive a welcome email with all of your next steps.

This is a Vinyasa Flow-based training that will also expose you to many styles of yoga. This training is wonderful for those who would like to teach yoga in their communities. We expect trainees to be open minded, kind, and commited to the experience.

You do not need to be able to achieve “fancy” postures or be super flexible. This training is for real people and real bodies. Our focus is on teaching you how to instruct others, so we ask that you do have a personal practice and are able to practice confidently and safely on your own.

Training is also open to students who would like to expand their practice and knowledge. You do not have to want to teach yoga to join teacher training. Though, please note, you will be expected to partcipate in every aspect of the training, as you learn how to teach others together. If you do not want to practice teach with your fellow trainees then please choose our At Home Training + Study option, created just for you.

Yes! We are a Yoga Alliance certifiend 200hr training program. During this training, you will learn how to register yourself as a Yoga Alliance certified instructor. Feel free to search for our school on the Yoga Alliance website, and check out reviews from our graduates!

If you have any questions at all, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We are here to help guide and support you throughout this entire experience.

Virtual with us is PERSONAL.

Your face is projected onto the wall so we can get to know YOU and your name.

Your voice comes through the speaker system. Because with us you have a VOICE.

A person is on TECH support the entire time, so you can let us know if you experience any issue.

A HUMAN is there for you the entire training. Reach out any time for support, and we are there for you.

Being virtual does not mean checking out. Engagement is required, and we will help hold you accountable to achieve this life changing goal! If you do not want to fully participate, but still have access to the information, than try our At Home Training + Study option!

Please send any questions to [email protected].

When you join us live virtually during our training intensives, you will enjoy a fully interactive experience! We project all virtual students on the wall, and your voices come through our speaker system. Instructors will refer directly to you and expect you to interact. We require that you have your camera on since students in the room can see you just like the other students around them. If a good reason arises, and you feel unable to interact visibly in this way, we ask that you speak with us first or watch the videos of these lectures later on your own time.

Anything that happens in the room, you will participate in at home. For instance when we practice teach you will be put into breakout rooms and will teach each other directly, an instructor will jump in and out of those rooms for guidance, just as the folks in the room will experience as they teach their partner.

Virtually you also have the benefit of designing your space as you like, your own restroom, snacks always available, total safety if you are immune compromised, or need more physical space to care for yourself.

If you have any questions about the virtual experience please email us at [email protected].

In short- virtual means you are streaming live in the moment with us, and at home training means you are watching videos of training on your own.

The virtual option means that you can join us via zoom LIVE during our intensive weekends. If you sign up for virtual, and then are not able to join live for any reason that is totally fine. You can watch the videos of the intensive later. This give you the option to join us live if you choose. When you are live we ask you to be an engaged trainee, as if you were in the room. You are projected on the wall with your fellow virtual trainees, and your voice comes through the speaker system, so that you are seen and heard like every other student. We work to make it a highly interactive online experience.

At Home Training + Study means that you will watch all of the lectures on your own time. This option means you do not join us live during intensive weekends, but you login and progress through the training on your own schedule. You do not participate in the training with a group, you are utilizing pre-recorded video lectures and āsana classes. This option works better for folks who need maximum flexibility. Lead instructors Roni, Tina, Megan and Ashley are all available to you throughout, so you have support as needed from a real human.
