Green Yogi 200-Hour Teacher Trainings
Two distinct paths. One supportive community.
Green Yogi is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS) offering two distinct pathways to complete your 200-hour teacher training. Offered multiple times throughout the year, our 200 Hour Teacher Trainings are unique programs that value personal growth, service to community, and safe and skillful teaching.
Both paths will lead you where you need to go.
Embarking on your 200 hour journey can happen at any point in your life. Only YOU know when the time is right. Maybe it’s something you’ve been considering for a while; or perhaps the desire is more recent. Maybe you know for sure that now is the time; or perhaps you’re still in some inquiry.
Wherever you are in your decision-making process, we’re here to support you in finding the training that will best support your needs and schedule.
Have you heard?!
We have two distinct pathways to earn your 200 hour yoga teacher training and deepen your personal practice in an unforgettable experience at Green Yogi.
One is our Green Yogi Teacher Training, directed by Sonya Genel Dresser and featuring lead teachers Lucid Dawn and Darren Main.
The other is our Green Yogi partnered with Lighting the Path Training, created and taught by Pete Guinosso.
Both of our 200 hour trainings take roughly six months to complete.
You’ll be part of a cohort meeting on some weekday evenings and some weekend days. You’ll learn from experienced and compassionate Green Yogi teachers — the lead teachers as well as our amazing adjunct faculty.
You’ll engage in fun, rigorous asana practice; you’ll study and discuss texts; you’ll explore yoga history and philosophy; you’ll learn how to give hands-on adjustments and how to sequence and teach all-levels yoga classes inspired by your own unique gifts, voice, and creativity.
During your training, you’ll have an unlimited membership at Green Yogi so you can practice, practice, practice!
You’ll graduate eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200 teacher upon successful completion, and you’ll be able to start teaching public classes right away at Green Yogi.
Perhaps most importantly, you’ll become part of an incredible community that values authenticity, mutual support, justice, and compassion, and you’ll make friends to last a lifetime.
A few key differences between our two trainings:
Beyond the different directors and lead teachers, one of the primary differences between the two trainings is the season in which they occur and their monthly schedule.
Green Yogi Teacher Training begins in January and runs through June. Sessions are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening, as well as three Sundays per month (on average.)
Green Yogi partnered with Lighting the Path Training begins in September and runs through March. Sessions are held three Wednesday evenings per month, as well as one weekend per month comprised of a Friday night intensive and daylong Saturday and Sunday trainings.
