Whether you want to share this powerful practice with your loved ones, teach public yoga classes, or are just looking to dive deeper into your personal yoga practice and growth journey, our 200-hr Hamaara Yoga Teacher Training is the transformative experience you're looking for.
​
You will be trained in the Hamaara Yoga Method, our body-inclusive, secular approach to yoga that is based on the teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
​
But teacher training is about so much more than just learning to teach yoga! In addition to learning the mechanics of safely practicing and teaching Hamaara Yoga, you will learn about human anatomy, the history of yoga, yoga philosophy, and how to use all of that knowledge daily to cultivate a life of inner peace.
Whether you choose to teach or not, you'll come away from this training with a deeper understanding of yourself and your practice that will enrich your life, both on and off the mat.

Read on to learn more and see if our YTT is right for you!

Why YTT With Us?
You've probably heard that yoga teacher training is life-changing. And guess what? It's true!
But you have to choose the right training for you.
Here's what makes our training special:
​
The Hamaara Yoga Method
If you've been practicing with us, you know our way of doing things is special.
Our approach to yoga is focused on healing and growth rather than party tricks and intense workouts.
We teach yoga as a physical, mental, and spiritual practice - we don't just focus on the body.
And we teach it in a way that works for all types of bodies, not just the naturally bendy ones.
You can learn more about our Hamaara Yoga Method here.
​
More Than Just Teaching Yoga
Yoga Teacher Training with us is about so much more than just teaching a yoga class.
Yes, you will of course be learning how to teach yoga. But in order to reach that point, you will also learn about yoga philosophy and history, human anatomy, the wide variety of yoga styles that exist today, cultural considerations, ethics, self-care, and perhaps most importantly: how to use all of that knowledge to cultivate a life of calm and peace (and, if you so choose, how to teach your students to do the same).
​
Many people come to Teacher Training with no intention of ever teaching.
They just want to deepen their own practice, and learn about yoga at a level that regular classes just can't offer.
Sometimes they're so inspired during the training that they end up teaching after all.
But many people never teach a single yoga class, and still find the Teacher Training experience extremely valuable and fulfilling.
​
Our approach to yoga is so much more than just a workout.
And our Yoga Teacher Training is so much more than just learning to teach a class.
​
Hybrid Schedule
We believe that the best Teacher Training experiences involve in-person training and connection.
But we also understand that life is BUSY.
So we've designed a hybrid schedule that is realistic and manageable on top of whatever else you have happening in your life, but still has enough live and in-person connection for you to get the most out of the experience.
​
Small Cohorts
Many studios treat their teacher trainings like cash cows, cramming in as many students as they can. That's not how we roll. Just like our classes, we keep our cohort sizes intentionally small. That way you can connect deeply and genuinely with your teachers and your fellow trainees!
