Blue Ridge Yoga 200 Hour Teacher Training
With Blue Ridge Yoga, you can deepen your personal practice, become a professional teacher, or both - all with a community of loving peers to support you along your journey.
This training is about developing a physical, mental, and spiritual connection with yourself and your fellow students along the way.
You’ll develop a deep understanding of the different styles of yoga, the physiology behind the practice, and experience a journey of self-exploration that equips you with the skills and confidence to share compassionate yoga with the world.
“I will forever be grateful for the opportunities that the Blue Ridge community has created for me! They made it possible for me to not only achieve my dream, but to believe in myself, as well! The other trainees and entire Blue Ridge community have become like my family! They inspire, encourage, and motivate me, and I just feel so loved!”
Where You Study Yoga Matters
You will become a reflection of the studio and the people with whom you practice.
That's why our teachers provide a supportive community to make your training fun, exciting, challenging, and fulfilling on a personal and professional level.

Just like in our daily classes, we provide a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to teaching that gives you the confidence and skills you need to succeed.
We prioritize friendships, acceptance, connection, and giving back to our home. Our supportive and loving community of teachers and your fellow students will be with you every step of the way.
