Progressive Certificate Pathways

YogaSutra Teacher Certification — 200 Hours

The YogaSutra Teacher Certification represents the completion of the school’s foundational teacher training pathway.

Students who wish to become certified yoga teachers can follow the YogaSutra 200-hour teacher training pathway, designed to develop a balanced understanding of yoga practice, movement science, teaching skills, and philosophical foundations.

The certification is completed through two main components: Core Modules and Elective Modules.
Graduates of this pathway may qualify to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200).
Core Modules — 130 Hours
Core modules provide the essential knowledge required for responsible yoga teaching. These studies establish a strong foundation in practice, anatomy, teaching methodology, and philosophical understanding.
 
Core modules include:
  • Foundations of Yoga Practice
  • Functional Anatomy for Yoga
  • Teaching Methodology
  • Sequencing Principles
  • Yoga Philosophy and Ethics
  • Teaching Practicum
 
Together, these modules develop the fundamental skills needed to guide safe, intelligent, and thoughtful yoga classes.

Students learn how to understand the body in movement, communicate clearly with students, structure effective classes, and teach with ethical awareness and responsibility.

Elective Modules — 70 Hours
Elective modules allow students to expand their studies according to their interests and professional goals.

Students may explore several areas of specialization, including movement science, therapeutic yoga applications, teaching skill development, nervous system and breath practices, and deeper philosophical studies.

This flexible structure allows each student to tailor their education while still developing a well-rounded understanding of yoga practice and teaching.

Through this modular approach, students gain both foundational knowledge and the opportunity to explore areas that resonate with their personal teaching path.
