Join us for the 2026/2027 200-hr yoga teacher training program! Deepen your personal yoga practice, further your knowledge of yoga, or share your love of yoga with others while learning the foundations, history, spiritual components and philosophy of the practice. You don't need to be an experienced yogi or even want to be a teacher. Our program is a great opportunity for personal growth and reflection, explore your practice and gain a deeper understanding of yoga poses, history, anatomy and philosophy.
In this introductory program, you will study the Yamas and Niyamas, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Baron Baptiste’s Journey Into Power. Students will receive instruction and exposure to:
Yoga Asanas
Pranayama
