Why choose the path of The Peaceful Warriors?

Compared to other 200-hour online YTT offerings out there, their 200-hour online YTT pathway follows a unique, flexible and modular program structure, allowing you to go entirely at your own pace, and to customize your online YTT journey based on your personal preferences, availability, and budget.

Their online YTT program includes all the key elements of in-person training, such as community, live interaction, and teamwork. Their 200-hour YTT is 100% online and on-demand and can be completed at your own pace.

You will have instant access to the course content as soon as you purchase so you can dive right in or explore little bits at a time as it suits your lifestyle. You will have lifetime access to the course content, so you can repeat and re-visit any part of the program as often as you like.

In addition to the on-demand course material, upon enrollment, you will gain access to regular live stream yoga classes and Q and A sessions with The Peaceful Warriors Teachers. The live classes / sessions are entirely optional and simply there to add to your experience and sense of community.

Yoga Alliance certification

If you are following the 200-hour online YTT pathway, each module completed will count towards your 200-hour YTT certification. The Peaceful Warriors is a Registered Yoga School (RYS®) with Yoga Alliance. And graduates of the full 200-hour YTT pathway are welcome to register in Yoga Alliance's directory as a RYT.

The course modules can also be completed as standalone courses if you are already a yoga teacher and have already completed your 200-hour YTT from another RYS®. The online YTT course modules from The Peaceful Warriors are all accredited by Yoga Alliance Continuing Education (YACEP).

Yoga teachers looking to meet the Continuing Education (CE) requirements to maintain their Yoga Alliance credential(s) can do so through their online YTT course modules. Each module states the number of hours that can be accrued; from 10 hours to 80 hours. Upon completion of each individual course module, you'll receive your certificate from the Peaceful Warriors.

Content and assessment

The online course modules all consist of on-demand (pre-recorded) material, including masterclasses, podcasts, narrated lectures, audio and video tutorials, asana and teaching clinics / labs and guided yoga, pranayama, and meditation practices. The course material can be completed entirely at your own pace.

You can log into the course whenever you have time to work on it! And you will have unlimited, lifetime access, so you will be able to revisit all the course material at any time. The different course modules will either include a written or practical assignment for you to complete.

To obtain certification and Yoga Alliance accreditation for your study hours, completing the assignments are mandatory. All written and practical assignments will be assessed by The Peaceful Warriors team, and you will receive individual feedback.

Please don't let any of this stress you out, they promise you will feel fully prepared and pass with flying colors. If you are someone just looking to deepen your yoga practice and/or knowledge and you are not interested in certification, the assignments are of course completely optional. How you choose to approach the course modules is entirely up to you!

Virtual community

When enrolling in any of their online course modules, you will furthermore gain access to The Peaceful Warrior Virtual Community created exclusively for their online students. A place where experienced senior teachers will be available to answer any questions you may have during your online learning. And a place for you to connect with other students and graduates following the same path as you.

The journey

They believe in yoga as a life journey of (self) awareness and personal transformation. A deeply transformative 'tool' that brings about real change and growth in your life. Through this training, they strive to offer you a deeply life-changing experience and to find the support you need to complete the training not only as a newly certified yoga teacher but with a new way of looking at the world – evolve and connect with the best expression of yourself.
