200 hr and 300 hr YTT Programs

A yoga teacher training program is not just about teaching yoga!

It is also about deepening your knowledge of this practice and supporting you on and off the mat. Many YTTs have no intentions of teaching but enjoy the commitment and deep dive into the philosophies, history and what makes this practice amazing! Our 200 hour YTT program is the first step in your study. Our 300 hour YTT program is for yogis that have completed a 200 hour YTT program. Learn more about these programs at one of our free informational sessions or email the studio.
