200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program – A transformative journey into the art, science, and soul of yoga. Designed to introduce you to the timeless wisdom of classical yoga. We are honored to walk this journey with you, supporting you as you open your heart and mind to the transformative path of yoga.

Our curriculum bridges ancient teachings with modern life – exploring the relevance of the Yoga Sutras in navigating stress and distraction, and how the yogic principles can be applied to daily routines for greater balance and well-being. This integration of tradition and practicality prepares trainees to teach with authenticity, guiding others with integrity while addressing the realities of contemporary living.

The training schedule is thoughtfully structured, combining immersive weekends of practice and study with integration weeks off – giving you time to absorb, practice, and reflect.

Mentorship Program
The Yoga Room Mentorship Program: An opportunity for yoga teachers to develop their skills and deepen their knowledge of yoga through personal study under the guidance of an experienced mentor.

ABOUT
The Yoga Room mentorship program provides a unique experience in continuing education. Over the course of three months, you will be guided through an in-depth study of asana practice, teaching skills and yogic study.  Following your own path of research, you will be paired with an experienced teacher who will challenge and support you to find your own voice as a teacher. The program has flexible hours and is made up of the following components:

Private Mentorship Sessions
You will meet with your mentor once per week for a discussion session. These sessions will be structured to outline your goals and objectives and discuss your progress. You will also be given reading and writing assignments relevant to your interests. (Total 12 Hours)

Asana Practice 
You are required to practice two Asana classes per week, either both with your mentor or one with your mentor and a second with a teacher that your mentor will recommend. A membership to The Yoga Room for the duration of your training is included in the cost of the program. (Minimum 36 Hours)

Observation / Assist 
Initially, you will observe your mentor’s class and have a brief discussion afterwards to answer any questions that may have arisen regarding sequencing, assists, etc.  If your mentor deems it appropriate, you may begin to offer assists within the class and, guided by your mentor, lead one or two poses in class. (Total 9 Hours)

Practice Teaching
Towards the end of the program, you will have an opportunity to teach two full-length classes. Your mentor will observe and provide feedback. (3 Hours).

Personal Study
Your mentor will assign you reading and writing projects to complete, custom-tailored based on your personal intentions and what your mentor deems most appropriate for you. (Minimum 20 Hours)
