The Mountain Yoga Teacher Training was built from our combined 45+ years teaching yoga and owning yoga studios. We have real-life experience on what works for students, and what doesn’t. Our experience is drawn from a wide range of yoga traditions, eliminating the dogmatic approach, we are able to build a more comprehensive, balanced approach that makes yoga more accessible and sustainable. We find the physical aspects of asana is only part of the whole picture and, therefore, will explore the mental, emotional, and energetics of the practice as well.

No advanced asanas required. While some experience in practicing yoga is recommended, you’ll get a lot of practice time during the training. Doing a teacher training will provide a deep dive into understanding both the basics, as well as an introduction to the vast and more esoteric yoga concepts. We will gain insights on what is applicable to you now and be inspired to expand into other areas of self-awareness.  

In the 200hr training, you’ll focus on learning Hatha and Fusion styles of teaching (our version of a traditional hot yoga class, and a vinyasa-flow style class). We have found in the years of training teachers these two classes provide a strong foundation in learning and applying the fundamentals of teaching. And with the development of this foundation, you will have the base to expand with our 300 hour training!

If you have been a student of MYS and align with the classes and community this is definitely the training for you! If you are looking for a comprehensive, non-dogmatic approach to building and/or teaching a sustainable yoga practice, this is the training for you!

This 200 hr. training will prepare you to teach in a variety of environments including community-based offerings, yoga studios, or gyms. We will give you the fundamentals on how to teach a traditional hot yoga class, or a build a flow style class.
