Yoga Teacher Training


Akasha Yoga Center's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is registered with the Yoga Alliance. Instruction is led by the director, Jennifer Ewert,  Scott Roos and Denise Yager . Completed over the course of ten weekends. See some photos from our teacher training program here on Facebook.


The program includes:
  • Philosophy and psychology of yoga
  • Anatomy and physiology of hatha yoga
  • Teaching and practicing asanas
  • Asana class structure with sequences
  • Teaching and practicing pranayama
  • Relaxation techniques
  • Diet, nutrition and ayurveda
  • Meditation techniques
Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be 200-hour certified yoga instructors. They will also be eligible to become Registered Yoga Teachers with Yoga Alliance for an additional fee.


The program emphasizes teaching techniques, but it isn't necessary teaching be your ultimate goal. Participants gain a fuller understanding of yoga theory and practice, history and philosophy, and how yoga relates to and enriches their own lives. Often, participants discover working with other people is itself the greatest learning experience.
