Ready to deepen your practice and become a yoga teacher but struggling to fit it into your busy life? Our 200 hour online yoga teacher training (YTT) is designed to be flexible so you can train at your own pace, no matter what your commitments.
Unlike in-person programs, our online YTT allows you to create your own schedule. Whether you’re building your career, managing family responsibilities, or studying for higher education, our course offers flexible learning options. In this post we’ll show you how to tailor your YTT journey, provide sample schedules for different lifestyles and share tips to stay consistent while training from home.
200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training Program Structure
A 200 hour online YTT covers all the essentials to become a confident and certified yoga teacher. Here’s what you can expect:
- Live Sessions: Join instructor led sessions for real time guidance and correction. These sessions focus on pranayama (breathing techniques) to help you master breath control, asana (postures) to build strength and flexibility and meditation to cultivate inner peace and mindfulness.
- Pre-recorded Videos: Watch in-depth lessons on yoga anatomy, philosophy and teaching methodology. These are available to watch anytime so you can study at your own pace, review complex concepts and revisit lessons for a deep understanding of important concepts like yoga sutras.
- Self-Practice and Assignments: Practice self-guided and journal to track your progress and apply what you’ve learned.
- Weekly Q&A Sessions: Join live sessions to ask questions, clarify doubts, and get personalized feedback from experienced yoga instructors. These sessions also give you a chance to connect with other students.
This blended format gives you structure and the freedom to follow a learning path while accommodating your daily routine.
