90 Day 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training Program

Pre-application requirements

You do not need a certain amount of time before you can enroll in this yoga teacher training. Past graduates refer to this as listening to the voice inside when it’s time to deepen your practice and follow your passion. Graduates come from all different walks of life, even self-taught yogis who heard the voice inside to help others through the power of yoga. You will also need proficiency in English, as all instruction and the final exam are given in English.

Successful completion of this level will earn you a 200-hour yoga teacher certification. Students who complete this online training before December 31st, 2021 are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®).

Course information

Yoga Teacher Academy is a robust, 200-hour yoga teacher training certification program composed of 8 milestones. Upon successful completion of the milestones, you will earn a 200-hour yoga teaching certification, which is the industry standard for teaching.

This program is designed to be progressive and integrative. Each module builds upon the one before; therefore, skipping around the course is not recommended.

This program is a bit like putting together a puzzle. You start with the outline of the edges and fill in the details as you go along. So at some points, it might feel like you don’t have a full picture, but with trust, patience, and diligence, by the end, you will have a fully integrated understanding of the scope, process, and power of this practice.

Milestones

• Milestone 1: Yoga humanities (online, self-paced)
• Milestone 2: Anatomy
• Milestone 3: Asana families
• Milestone 4: Teacher development
• Milestone 5: Chosen tradition: Vinyasa, Hatha, or Yin
• Milestone 6: Meditation, pranayama, and mantra
• Milestone 7: Business of yoga
• Milestone 8: Practicum

Ultimately, the program is self-paced, flexible, and performance-driven. In other words, as long as you can complete your assessments successfully, you may learn the material as quickly or as slowly as you wish. The program is for 90 days. If not completed in this time-frame, you can extend month by month by paying 97 USD until completion.

This teacher training is held online. Yoga Teacher Academy is based in California, USA and they will live stream sessions based on PDT (UTC -7) during summer and PST (UTC -8) for session/s after November 1st, 2021.
