Green Yogi 200-Hour Teacher Trainings

Apply to join our next Fall, Winter or Summer cohort!

Green Yogi is a Yoga Alliance registered yoga school (RYS) offering numerous paths to deepen your training and practice. Offered three times throughout the year, our 200 Hour Teacher Trainings are unique programs that value personal growth, service to community, and safe and skillful teaching.

Are you feeling ready for a big shift in your life?

Do you want to deepen your understanding and practice of yoga?

Would you like to learn how to skillfully share the benefits of yoga with others?

If you felt a YES rise up in your heart in response to any of these questions, the Green Yogi 200 Hour Teacher Trainings welcome YOU to join us in an upcoming training!

Yoga is a powerful path of transformation.

Our 200 hour programs were born out of a deep desire to grow a community that values personal growth and heart-centered leadership. Together we explore what it means to practice deeply, to make choices that bring harmony, and to hold space for other people’s transformation, too!

This isn’t just a training; it’s an invitation to reclaim your purpose, your voice, and your true self. This program offers the space, tools, and community to help you teach with confidence, clarity, and compassion, allowing you to share the gift of yoga in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

We blend a deep and authentic study of yoga’s history and philosophy with a modern, socially conscious and inclusive perspective. Our trainings include a fusion of traditional alignment-based Hatha Yoga and intelligent dynamic Vinyasa.

These programs emphasize personal transformation, the development of a strong personal practice, and a solid understanding of key yogic tools and concepts such as asana, mantra, mudra, pranayama, meditation, functional anatomy, and philosophy. We’ll cover everything you need to be an effective yoga teacher from cueing and sequencing, to hands-on assists, injury prevention, and more.

In our trainings, you will learn how to:

Inspire students by teaching from your own heart’s wisdom
Be emotionally intelligent and present with your students
Effectively sequence for, and safely adjust, an all-levels class
Incorporate themes and intentions into your teaching and practice
Cue and instruct so your students stay present in their practice
Feel confident working with common conditions and injuries
Create a supportive and caring environment in your classes

While the personal growth of our trainees is paramount, it is equally important that they graduate with the ability to teach a great yoga class!

Green Yogi’s 200 hour trainings prepare students to become excellent yoga teachers by giving them the tools necessary to develop clear communication skills and an authentic voice, to intelligently craft their own unique, safe sequences, and to integrate inspiring themes into their classes. Our trainings also offer real world teaching opportunities and give specific guidance on starting a yoga teaching career.

You’ll learn how to teach compassionate, accessible classes for students of all levels, from a place of authenticity and heart-centered wisdom. Learning takes place through a variety of methods, including demonstration, lecture, group discussions, and partner practice. This dynamic approach helps you embody the material deeply, ensuring that your teaching skills are well-rounded and rooted in experience. Plus our expert teachers provide direct guidance to every student, offering tailored feedback to support your individual growth.

We love our community!

With a combination of excellent teachers and strong community, students come out of our trainings with improved physical, mental, and emotional health, a sense of spiritual development, and many new friends and connections. You’ll forge deep bonds with fellow trainees and faculty, creating a community that will continue to support your personal and professional growth long after the training ends.

During your training, you’ll have access to free yoga classes at Green Yogi, where you’ll be able to meet lots of other amazing teachers and students and form meaningful bonds even outside of your cohort.

Those who complete the program will have all that they need to immediately begin teaching yoga classes. Graduates will also continue to receive support from the Green Yogi studio through community, workshops, mentorships, and opportunities to practice teaching.

Opportunities to actually begin teaching!

It can sometimes be difficult for new yoga teachers to find a place to begin and gain real world experience. As part of this program, trainees will have the opportunity to actually begin leading real yoga classes to the community!

We offer free Community Classes three days a week at Green Yogi, taught by graduates of our training programs. That means that as soon as you graduate from your Green Yogi 200 Hour Training, you get to start teaching full-length yoga classes at a top-tier studio!
