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!

“The training I received at Blue Ridge Yoga was wonderful. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond. I learned so much more than I ever I thought I would learn in the 200 hour program. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Yoga if you are interested in becoming a teacher, or just a deeper understanding of your own yoga practice.”

When and Where

Our training is held at the Blue Ridge Yoga Studio. We believe the group connection is an invaluable part of the program.

We also require 14 hours of online anatomy & physiology training. We chose to do this portion of program online to allow you the opportunity to pause, rewind, and rewatch these informative segments.

Our goal is to provide you with the support, encouragement, and resources you need during the transformative experience of yoga teacher training—we’ll be with you every step of the way!
