    The River 200-hour training aims to not only be sure trainees are able to convey a 60-minute vinyasa sequence, but that they do so in their own voice and style. We teach clear and concise cuing with a focus on inclusive language and modifications to be sure all student’s abilities are met.

    The River YTT is committed to offering aspects of yoga that are necessary to have a well-rounded understanding of yoga tradition as well as innovation to best serve our time and culture. Philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and personal development anchor the instruction of yoga teaching.

  • Of course it’s ok! The River teacher training is a whole life experience. You will learn the confidence to speak powerfully in front of people. To convey the knowledge you learn and the knowledge that’s already in you. You will be in the best shape of your life, feel amazing and inspired. You will make life long friendships with your community and with yourself. You will shed layers, become even lighter and you can always teach later if you change your mind. Or not!

  • A variety of experience levels is expected and appreciated in The River Teacher Training Program. Beginner students make great teachers as they have a fresh perspective and remember what it’s like to be new. No specific amount of yoga experience is required. Participants will practice yoga often to learn what each pose feels like in their bodies. In the last teacher training program we had students that had been practicing yoga anywhere from 6 months to 10 years.

  • At the completion of The River teacher training, if all expectations of the training have been met, you will receive a 200 hour yoga certification for our program. Almost all studios, gyms, and other facilities offering yoga require a minimum of 200 hours of yoga teacher training. In that regard, you will absolutely be qualified. At The River, we are committed to not creating a teacher training factory line. We will invest in each and every participant.
