WHAT
What will I learn?
Asana
The shapes we explore
There are over 70 illustrated postures in your training manual. For each, we discuss both traditional and post-traditional/therapeutic alignment, modifications, variations, use of props, safe assists, and stable transition cues. Sequencing and transitioning are crucial in understanding how to construct a class to suit a specific population. Our teaching methodology is what allows our classes to be enjoyed by multiple levels, and our students to feel secure and capable.
Pranayama
The Breath is medicine
We believe that the breath is a tool to cultivate a chosen state of mind, and will teach you how to use a variety of breathing techniques to offer before, during and after your classes. Understanding your respiratory system and how to control your breathing muscles are key to enhancing any yoga practice.
Anatomy
The Body, how to use it wisely
Safety and posture accessibility are fundamental to our way of thinking, which is why we are post-traditional in our Asana instruction (we all have different bodies and different needs), and why we spend a great deal of time helping you to understand your gross (the parts that can be seen) and energy (the parts that can’t be seen) bodies, movement mechanics and bodily systems and how they communicate with one another. Our teaching style is applied and interactive, and we feel that learning more about anatomy and physiology through the science of yoga is a powerful and illuminating experience. The study of the 7 main Chakras, 6 Bandhas, 5 Vayus and 5 Koshas are also introduced.
Philosophy
How Yogic principles can guide you toward optimal well-being
At the 200 hour level, we refer to excerpts from the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. This is not required reading, as the specific sutras discussed are printed in your manual, however some students find this topic interesting and want to learn more. We prefer philosophical group discussions with student participation, and see this as a wonderful way to come to understand the diverse and complex nature of the human condition, while at the same time recognizing the many ways we are all similar.
Meditation
The Mind, and how to train it and calm it
The mysteries and misconceptions associated with meditation are thoroughly explored with our Meditation 101 workshop. There are a plethora of techniques students can utilize when practicing mindfulness, and regulating the breath is the best way to begin to learn the gift of calming and relaxing the mind. Meditation can be practiced in a variety of ways…sitting is only one of those ways.

Testimonials
Student Stories
“The Yoga Den Teacher Training School was all that I could have hoped for. The instructor’s guidance and expertise helped to create an environment of love and support. I am leaving this program feeling fully prepared to help guide my students on their journey. This program not only taught me how to help my students in a safe, supportive way, but it has also deepened my own practice. I would highly recommend this training program to anyone who is interested in creating a deeper connection to the practice of yoga.”
Debbie K · June 2026
“Yoga Den 200 hr TT had terrific energy and great teachers. Enjoyed it and felt that it prepared me very well to teach.”
Gail D · April 2014
“An incredible journey with fellow yogis who created a supportive environment where growth flourished. An opportunity to learn from seasoned instructors whose wisdom, passion and authenticity inspired a deeper connection to the practice. In hindsight, the experience was not just about certification, although my cues, sequencing, presence and understanding of safety were refined; it was also transformative self-discovery and connection to my cohort that blossomed into community.”
Cynthia R · Apr 30, 2024
“Yoga Den has a great reputation locally which was confirmed during the training. I am very satisfied with the quality of instruction and investment in training through Yoga Den.”

How or F&Q
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the schedule?
Immersion Training – 2 Weeks
How is Yoga Den different from other schools?
We believe yoga should be accessible to everyone, therefore we teach our trainees how to guide both Power Vinyasa Yoga (high-energy and athletic) and Mind Body Yoga (all-levels, relaxing, thorough stretching) classes. Heated and/or Power yoga classes are not suitable for everyone. Even the (especially the) extremely fit marathon runner needs yoga to bring the body back into balance after a long run, but a hot sweaty class may deplete energy needed for training and recovery. A Mind Body class is the perfect way to stay healthy for a large segment of the population. Yoga teachers with a broad skill set, and the ability to instruct both energy levels will find it easier to find teaching jobs. Our training will allow you to expand your resume’, and market yourself in a variety of ways, including working one-on-one with private clients. All of our educators are 500hr certified, have extensive experience in their specific field of study, and share the Yoga Den Philosophy that all are welcome and diversity is something to embrace.

Will I get accepted, am I qualified?
So many people are getting certified, is there still opportunity to teach?
What if something comes up and I need to miss a day or weekend, or can’t finish for some unforeseen reason?
Due to the administrative efforts involved with make-up coordination, a $25 fee will be charged for each day you need to make-up. There will be no refunds offered once the session begins. Should you need to discontinue, we will honor a 1-time transfer of your tuition to an upcoming 200TT session (This does not include additional unlimited membership). We would expect you to start from the beginning, rather than pick up where you left off, for the continuity of the group. A $100 session transfer fee will be applied.
What does it cost, are there payment options?
1st Option 1 – Pay in full 2 months prior to session start date, SAVE $400 ($2,595)
