Style/Lineage

Our 200 hour yoga teacher training program is based on our belief that yoga is for every body. We believe teachers should meet students where they are, encourage them to explore the practice and be ready to teach students of varying abilities.

This program is vinyasa based, and trainees will have a comprehensive understanding of all areas of the practice, including various aspects of the physical body, the mind-body connection, yoga humanities and professional development.

Additional Information

Why this yoga teacher training program?

This is a program of deep inquiry – as we explore the teachings of yoga, you’ll be encouraged to tap into the hidden gems within you and find pathways to bring them forward. Perhaps this is in teaching yoga, but it will show up in other aspects of your life. Whether you’re interested in teaching yoga, looking for more depth in your yoga practice or seeking greater self-study, this program delivers.

As we look to make the practice of yoga more accessible for ALL, our training program needs to be “real”. It’s more than learning proper alignment of key postures, reciting Sanskrit or teaching a set sequence. We want to empower our trainees to build upon their passion for yoga and develop their voice as a teacher to support them bringing their gifts forward. We take highly our responsibility to give trainees the tools and skills they need to teach a wide variety of bodies, safely and confidently. We encourage trainees to bring their curiosity and creativity forward, knowing we all have unique gifts to share and be celebrated.

Core competencies

By the end of this program, graduates will be able to…

Teaching Skills	Build a complete class sequence for each of the three sequencing frameworks, demonstrating logical progression, safe preparation, and cohesive theme. Analyze a cueing sequence for clarity, anatomical accuracy, inclusivity, and effectiveness across different student learning preferences. Evaluate a teaching environment for its effectiveness in welcoming students of all bodies, backgrounds, and experience levels before class begins. Apply self-reflection, peer input, and feedback witth personal strengths and growth areas into designing and teaching a 60 minute yoga class.
Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Assess a student's skeletal alignment in a given posture and determine which variations or props best support their unique anatomy. Evaluate whether a student's muscular engagement pattern in a posture supports safe alignment and efficient movement. Evaluate how different class formats, breath patterns, and pacing strategies affect the student's physiological state during and after practice. Assess a student's pose execution across multiple clinic categories and provide specific, anatomy-grounded feedback for each.
Practice Skills	Create a complete Vinyasa class that demonstrates intentional sequencing, breath integration, and a coherent peak-pose arc. Guide a group through at least two pranayama techniques with clear, anatomically informed instruction and appropriate pacing. Lead a complete meditation practice of appropriate length and style for a group yoga class, using clear language and comfortable pacing. Analyze the differences between adaptive, restorative, gentle, and trauma-informed yoga formats and determine when each is most appropriate.
Yoga History & Theory	Explain key historical figures, texts, and lineages that shaped modern Vinyasa yoga and describe Yoga Home's own lineage, style, and methodology. Identify Sanskrit names for major asanas, pranayama techniques, and philosophical concepts covered in the Yoga Home curriculum. Analyze how the philosophical frameworks of major yogic texts complement one another and inform a cohesive approach to yoga instruction. Apply a chosen yama or niyama as a class theme, integrating its meaning into posture selection, language, and reflection prompts.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Explain the distinction between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation in yoga and describe practices that support respectful engagement. Apply niyama-based reflection practices—such as journaling, meditation, and practicum review—to identify personal growth edges as a developing teacher. Explain how the niyamas of Tapas and Svadhyaya apply not only to personal practice on the mat but to the ongoing work of professional self-care, boundary-setting, and self-honest reflection as a teacher.
Business Skills	Explain the key contraindications and variations required for prenatal and postnatal yoga and the scope-of-practice boundaries for Level 1 teachers. Analyze the current landscape of yoga teaching opportunities—including studios, corporate wellness, online platforms, and community settings—and determine which align with personal goals. Explain how a clear, values-aligned teaching identity—grounded in the equity commitments and professional standards developed through Yoga Home—forms the foundation of a sustainable and trustworthy teaching brand.

AYC allows each school to state and evaluate the competencies each student acquires. Students rate how well the program delivered them.
