Awaken Your Practice with Soul of Yoga’s 200-Hour Teacher Training

The program is designed with flexibility so you can move through your 200-hour yoga teacher training journey at a supportive pace. Most students complete their hours within nine to twelve months, though you’ll have up to two years if you need more time for your 200-hour yoga teacher training certification requirements. Whether you progress steadily or take each module at your own rhythm, the structure of our 200-hour yoga instructor training allows room for reflection and integration.

Not at all. Our 200-hour yoga teacher training welcomes students of all levels. You can begin whether you’ve practiced for years or are just starting, each stage of the 200 hr yoga training builds your foundation in movement, philosophy, and self-awareness. The program meets you where you are and supports your growth into a confident, 200-hour certified yoga instructor through a thoughtful and well-paced structure.

Our comprehensive 200-hr yoga teacher training certification course includes study of philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, pranayama, mantra, meditation, and ethics. You’ll also explore subtle body systems, alignment, cueing, and trauma-sensitive approaches that support you in becoming a grounded certified 200-hour yoga teacher who can teach with clarity and compassion.

The classes follow a steady rhythm that blends weekly Asana Labs, live group discussions, and four focused week-long modules, helping learning feel manageable and cohesive. In Asana Labs, you’ll work with alignment, safety, and sequencing, while the module weeks expand your study of philosophy, anatomy, and the art of teaching. This approach offers consistency without overwhelm, giving you space to practice, reflect, and integrate what you’re learning as part of your 200-hr yoga training, your progress toward the certification, and the complete structure of your 200-hour yoga teacher training course.
