There are three options for participation in the In-Depth Yoga Studies & Teacher Training Program, corresponding to the three phases of the Program:

Phase I: 7-Week 120-Hour In-Depth Studies Course

Phase II: 200-Hour Certification (Phase I + 80 Hours)

Phase III: 500-Hour Advanced Certification

Click on the Phases for more details about their content. Phase I applies to both the 200-hour and 500-hour certifications. If you have previously completed a credible basic teacher training program (usually a 200-hour program) and have at least two years of teaching experience , you can begin working toward the Advanced Certification.

Both certification tracks (Phases II & III) are initiated by taking the 7-Week In-Depth Studies Course. Courses taken in the program may also be applied to required hours in other teacher training programs as well to the 30 annual Continuing Education Units (CEUs) required to maintain your Yoga Alliance registration.
