Have you ever considered teaching?
Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program is designed for you to discover your true self and your true power. Through our innovative practices, you will discover how to tap into the power within you which will allow you to create and build a powerful life and share it with the people around you.
You will be ready to teach a yoga class with confidence and so much more. As a 200-Hour Teacher Trainee, you will learn the physical, energetic, and spiritual implications of yoga. More importantly you will learn the importance of living from your own authenticity. Through the study and practice of the ancient principles of yoga you will be inspired by your own transformation as well as by your contribution to the transformation of those around you.
This program is designed for yoga practitioners of every level, as well as those who simply wish to deepen their own understanding of yoga. The side effect of taking this program is that you will be eligible to apply for your Registered Yoga Teacher 200 (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance. The real benefits of the Yoga Body Institute Teacher training program is that it will empower you to live a life which is full of joy and freedom and your radiance will inspire others to do the same.
You will journey deep into the principles of the 8 limbs of yoga and into yourself. You will experience union in your life and you will bring to light what your true work is as a student, teacher and leader in and/or outside of the classroom. Let the unrolling of your yoga mat each day be a symbol of the unraveling of your current beliefs about yourself. Become your true authentic self, which is the source of YOUR true power.
