Transformative RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training:

Cultivating Confident, Compassionate Edit this Page in Westchester NY for almost 20 years…..

A few things make WYoga’s Yoga Alliance Upleveled training unique. When I completed a local teacher training, I graduated but didn’t feel equipped to teach confidently. When I had a yoga studio and interviewed recent grads from my alma mater, they too were shaky teaching. I designed WYoga’s program so that our trainees graduate teach10 full classes in real classroom scenarios.

Bonus! All the in-classroom practice classes with classmates. In fact, from the very first class we practice teaching together. What we have found over the past couple of decades, is that our trainees overcome the fear, of teaching together. That experience forges unbreakable bonds, with many of our trainees becoming lifelong friends, godparents, soul siblings. Added plus creating a network of referrals, for yoga gigs.

WYoga’s training includes critical components missing from many trainings, like “The Business of Yogaand an entire section dedicated to social media—a necessity for teachers today, especially since the pandemic. Our curriculum is constantly evolving to stay relevant and impactful.

Equally important, we honor the spiritual essence and personal growth inherent in yoga, rooted in traditions from India over millennia ago. These foundational aspects are often overlooked, yet they are central to WYoga's RYT200 program.

Additionally, I wanted to make this program as accessible and supportive as possible. Unlike my personal experience, where missed classes required additional paid sessions, we provide on-demand videos for review at no extra cost. You’ll also find assessments at the end of each module with the opportunity to retake them, ensuring you gain true confidence as a teacher.

Curriculum

 
 

Top Quality, Legendary

WYoga has a reputation of training some of the very best teachers locally, from those who have launched their yoga teaching businesses and studios locally and across the country.

We strive to give you the best training you can find, including vitally important lessons on creating your own viable yoga business, whether it be teacher, trainer with regularly updated content.

Local Love

For almost two decades, almost every single year is witness to the blossoming of yoga friends, that become families. We follow each other on social media, we forward teaching opportunities to each other.

We have seen long awaited pregnancies, turn into godchildren, we have been there for each other through joyous and had our peeps stand by us through devasting grief.

More for your Money and your Time

Fully in-person trainings, many of them - it’s a one and done. What was lived, learned is fleeting. WYoga has resolved this problem. There is online content to review what was learned in person.

For the hybrid training, the in person sessions affirm and confirm what was learned online with the practical teaching practice in person.

Because life happens, the unexpected becomes reality and you cannot come to training. The online content is available for renewal, even beyond the expiration date.

 

Anatomy is cover in our Training

Understanding the systems of the body, how the skeletal system works in tandem with the muscles, ligaments and joints - is key to being a good yoga teacher.

Our program teaches the chakras in tandem the systems of the body, with the asanas so you learn which poses are most connected with which chakras and nadis.

Sequencing

In our lineage the order of the class has a specific role, it is in the order of the chakras… beyond that understanding HOW to teach one pose to the next instructing with clarity so that the class flows seamlessly and prepares the body for the next set of poses is a key part our training.

For advanced sequencing join our RYT300 program

Pranayama and Meditation

Breath practice and Meditation are essential elements to the yoga practionner and teacher. Our RYT200 program teaches how to instruct pranayama, and its importance merged with recent published Western research. Learn how mediation can actually shape our genes… this is the introductory level.

We delve deeper into this in the RYT300.
