Our vision is to help 200-hour teachers build confidence in their teaching and their ability to create inclusive, supportive spaces for all students.
A 500-hour teacher should feel skilled and confident in both group and one-on-one settings, with deeper mastery in the areas of yoga that inspire them most.
We are an IAYT-accredited integrative yoga therapy program that teaches you the how and why behind the transformational & evidence-based practices of yoga. Join us at Practice School of Yoga Therapy and take the first step toward a career that will empower yourself and others on a path toward holistic healing.
Practice School of Yoga Therapy is a 1,000-hour program that is divided into three modules and a practicum over the course of 2 years 8 months.
Our program is intentionally structured so that Module 1 can serve independently as a 300-hour Yoga Alliance approved teacher training certification.
This is a wonderful alternative to traditional 300-hour teacher training for students interested in pursuing a more therapeutic approach to yoga teaching.
The next program start date for Module 1 is March 31, 2027. Applications must be received by March 17, 2027 to be considered for our next cohort.
Enroll by 1/2/27 to receive $300 off Module 1 tuition.
