200hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training

Our 200-hour training does much more than deepen your yoga practice and help you develop as a teacher; it is a program intended to inspire transformation in your life. Through the study of asana, mindfulness, lifestyle philosophy, positive psychology, anatomy and beyond, watch the changes unfold on and off your mat! 

We require our students to have a consistent, dedicated yoga practice and a strong desire to learn and explore the modern teachings of yoga. We expect you can manage a 1.5-hour vigorous vinyasa yoga-based practice. We want to make sure that trainees have a basic foundation in the primary yoga postures before learning how to teach. You have a good understanding of the English language. 

The Equal Teacher Training is designed as an intensive course; it is a great way to immerse yourself within the span of a 5-month period. This helps to enrich a transformational experience for your body and mind. This also means that we ask you to work hard and be dedicated in these months to explore and create awareness of who you are. Committing yourself to this course is an intense experience with self-study, regular yoga practice, will help to get you out of your comfort zone and can be highly transformative.
