Yes. This is a 150-hour Yoga Alliance–certified training. It’s designed as advanced study, but you do not need a 200-hour certification to enroll. If you already have (or later complete) a 200-hour training, these hours can be applied toward a 300-hour advanced certification.

Accommodation and flights are not included. That said, there are plenty of lovely stays nearby—many within walking distance in our safe, welcoming neighborhood. After you register, we’ll send you a curated list of options to suit different budgets.

Totally normal. Almost everyone who joins feels this way, even experienced teachers when they’re learning something new.
This training is designed for that exact edge. You’ll learn practical tools to build confidence, and you’ll get plenty of opportunities to practice guiding in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
Confidence doesn’t come before teaching…it comes through teaching. We’re here to help you get out of your own way and grow into your voice, step by step.
