200 Hour Teacher Training & Immersion
For those who want to teach, and those who simply want to go deeper.
Most studios cram 200 hour trainings into a few intense weeks. We take our time.
Real transformation needs room to breathe. Our immersion unfolds over months rather than weeks, beginning January 2027 – through April 2027, so you have time to truly absorb the practice, find your authentic voice, and grow your confidence rather than rushing toward a finish line. This is a journey, and we’ve built it to feel like one.
You don’t have to want to teach to be here.
Many of our trainees come simply to deepen their own practice and understanding of yoga. Whether you dream of leading classes or you’re following a quiet pull to go deeper and learn more about yourself, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
In our warm, welcoming, non-heated studio, our expert teachers will guide you through the foundations of yoga asana, philosophy, anatomy, assisting, and so much more, including modules in Yin, Restorative, Prenatal, Ayurveda, Accessible and Senior Yoga, and Teaching Beginners. You’ll gain real, hands-on teaching experience along the way.
There’s no cost and no commitment to apply, and we’d love to meet you. Apply today to claim your spot. Registering by December 8th saves you $200 on tuition.
