At YogaSix, we understand that the practice of yoga extends far beyond the four corners of your mat. From breath and movement to meditation and philosophy, there is so much to explore. Our YTT programs are designed to help you do just that. You don't need to be able to stand on your head or twist yourself into a pretzel. You just need to be curious and have the desire to explore deeper.

YogaSix has skillfully crafted two incredibly well-rounded Yoga Teacher Training programs, whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of this incredible 5000 year practice, dive into teaching, or launch an enriching career.

Core competencies

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

Yoga History & Theory	Explain how yoga evolved from Vedic ritual practices through the Vedas, the Yoga Sutras, Tantric philosophy, and into its contemporary fitness-influenced form.
Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics	Explain how poor posture and allignment functions as a stressor on the body—increasing injury risk and limiting movement efficiency—across both yoga postures and strength exercises. Identify the major bones and muscles relevant to Sculpt & Flow movements. Apply anatomical terminology to cueing Sculpt & Flow movements, describing both the joint action and the plane of motion in any given exercise.
Practice Skills	Demonstrate each of the six movement patterns at base level and at least one progression, applying ground-up cueing, appropriate bracing, and breath timing. Explain the progression and regression framework used in YogaSix Sculpt & Flow, including the base movement, two regression levels, and two progression levels for any given exercise. Explain how strength training movements are organized in a Sculpt and Flow Class and how this format simultaneously develops cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular endurance. Analyze how yoga postures in a Sculpt & Flow class serve a dual function: addressing the mobility and flexibility needs that complement functional strength training while providing yogic inquiry opportunities.
Teaching Skills	Apply the Language Formula and ground-up cueing method to guide a student through a complete compound movement, sequencing breath, action, and alignment cues in the correct order. Explain how dynamic language—varied, action-oriented verbal cues—creates a more immersive and motivating class experience and describe when motivational versus instructional cues are most effective. Teach a complete Sculpt & Flow class that demonstrates competency in Language Formula cueing, functional movement instruction, yoga posture guidance, and class arc design. Apply ground-up and simple-to-complex cueing principles to guide a new student through a compound exercise from initial body position through full technical execution.
Lifestyle & Ethics	Explain the SAID Principle—Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands—and describe how it governs the design of progressive, goal-aligned Sculpt & Flow programming. Apply the progression and regression framework to modify an entire class plan for a student with a stated injury or limitation, maintaining training effectiveness within safe parameters. Apply the progression and regression framework to modify an entire class plan for a student with a stated injury or limitation, maintaining training effectiveness within safe parameters.
Business Skills	Evaluate a teaching opportunity or private client engagement for professional alignment, including compensation fairness, client fit, scheduling sustainability, and growth potential. Identify the four primary employment avenues for a Sculpt & Flow teacher—large gym, boutique studio, independently-owned facility, and self-employment—and describe the pay structure, hiring process, and trade-offs of each.
