Honor the Body 200 RYT Foundational Teacher Training

Inlet Yoga’s 200-hour Teacher Training is inspired by multiple systems, including but not limited to Ashtanga, Hatha, Iyengar, Vinyasa, Yin, Laughing Lotus, and Katonah Yoga. While the program is rooted in a vinyasa-based approach, it draws from these varied lineages to offer a broader, more integrated understanding of yoga.

Rather than adhering rigidly to a single system, students are taught to understand the principles beneath the practices—structure, function, breath, attention, and adaptation. This allows for a more intelligent and responsive approach to teaching, one that meets the needs of modern bodies and modern lives.

Traditional elements such as pranayama, meditation, and foundational philosophy are honored throughout the training, while anatomy, functional movement, and the use of props support accessibility and sustainability in practice. Influences from these lineages are not presented as separate styles, but woven together to create a cohesive and practical teaching methodology.

Students learn to move beyond aesthetic-based yoga and into a way of teaching that prioritizes clarity, safety, and individual experience. Sequencing is approached as both structure and inquiry, encouraging observation, critical thinking, and adaptability.

This program respects lineage while recognizing that yoga is living and evolving. Graduates leave with a strong foundation in vinyasa and a well-rounded perspective, prepared to teach in a way that is thoughtful, inclusive, and relevant.
