200-Hour Advanced 

Teacher Training

Discover, Transform, Lead: Your Journey to Yoga Teaching Begins Here

Our 2024 Training is a Hybrid program, meaning It is half in-person and half online. To become a 200-hour certified yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance you must complete both sections of the program.

 

Begin virtually at any time with 100 hours of online training, then join us for an in-person intensive for the remaining 100 hours. A portion of the hours include readings, practice, and assignments on your own.

The 2024 in-person immersion will be in Playa Maderas, Nicaragua, a gorgeous town on the Pacific Coast near San Juan del Sur.  We rented a boutique hotel with expansive ocean views, a path to the beach, two yoga spaces, a pool, and a great restaurant. This trip will focus on the physical portion of the program. It is a great way to advance your practice, gain teaching experience, and meet like-minded others.  

Enjoy the advantages of the virtual program, which include access to more teachers, one-on-one attention, live-calls, learn from a comfortable environment, and the content will be available for replay for a total of 6 months from the moment you enroll. 

Each module is sold separately. We hope you will join us!

There may be some waiting around, but we will be in touch about preferable flight options. The flight is not included in the cost of this retreat.

An incredibly hands-on training went above the introductory instruction–cover lineage & history, trauma-informed yoga, non-binary/non-Yoga teacher training for the next generation. It goes beyond basic instruction to cover topics imperative for teachers to know to guide all students who step onto their mats. cuing, yoga's place in social action, and the subtle work of the practice. Transform your own practice, and learn how to guide others in transforming theirs.
