We ensure thorough and diligent planning for a safe and effective delivery of information and techniques for all participants. Our program offers two yoga certifications – the 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher: Certificate of Achievement and the 300-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher: Certificate of Achievement. The courses are designed to prepare students to meet Yoga Alliance’s requirements to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). In addition, students who earn both certificates are eligible to register as a 500-Hour yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance.
