Become the Teacher Your Community Needs

Yoga is evolving—and so are the people who walk through our studio doors.

Today's teachers are called to serve students of all ages, abilities, body types, backgrounds and life experiences.

Our Yoga Alliance-accredited 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is designed to deepen your teaching, expand your expertise, and empower you to confidently lead with knowledge, compassion and authenticity.

Whether your passion is teaching specialized populations, creating transformational workshops, leading retreats, or simply becoming the most skilled teacher you can be, this program will provide the education, mentorship and practical experience to help you grow.

Unlike traditional advanced teacher trainings that focus primarily on advanced postures, our curriculum emphasizes real-world teaching skills that today's yoga professionals need.

You'll graduate prepared to:

  • Teach diverse populations with confidence

  • Create safe, accessible, and inclusive classes

  • Develop your own workshops and specialty programs

  • Plan and lead retreats

  • Deepen your understanding of yoga philosophy and anatomy

  • Build a sustainable and meaningful yoga career

Costs & Inclusions:

In addition to the above-mentioned instruction and experiences, students will receive a complimentary unlimited membership to Roots Yoga for the duration of their training (January - September), which includes unlimited access to all regularly scheduled yoga, barre and pilates classes ($990 value).

Books are not included in the cost. You may already have the required reading or be able to borrow from someone you know, and we find that it is cheaper if you purchase supplemental texts on your own. A list of required reading materials will be distributed prior to the start of our training.

Total Cost: $4,100

Required Deposit: A $500 deposit is required to hold your spot.
Save $150 on your deposit with early bird registration before October 1, 2026!
Deposit is refundable only if minimum registration is not met.

Payment Plan: A payment plan is available, divided into 9 automatic monthly installments of $400. Once the teacher training program begins, the program is non-refundable and payments will be made until completion. Certificates of completion will not be issued if a balance is due.

IMPORTANT: Please understand that graduation is not guaranteed. Students must complete all assignments, be prepared and participate in sessions and demonstrate teaching proficiency (we will prepare you for this!) to earn the Yoga Alliance certificate.
