Based on the belief that yoga is for everyone”
What is SPF Yoga’s teacher training all about?

Our teacher training is a journey where the student learns how to live consciously.  It is a comprehensive certification program that includes: anatomy & physiology, teaching methodology, training techniques & practice, philosophy, community service, and practicum. Using the 8-limbed path of yoga from Patanjali Sutras we begin to incorporate basic principles like:









Into our daily lives…

Yoga is moving into awareness.  Our modern culture fosters competition, striving and attachment, multi-tasking and getting ahead.  And in all that busy-ness we lose an important piece of ourselves.  Yoga simply gives us – ourselves back again.  We learn to live present, happy and peaceful.

How is this training different?

It’s not just a teacher training program – it’s for everyone who wants to live life – really live it!  It’s a journey to the heart, a discovery of who you are, and an exploration of our deep inter-connectedness.

The 200 hour YTT is structured to accommodate busy schedules understanding individual priorities and the balance of family and work.  We offer students the opportunity to learn and grow together with minimal impact to their daily lives.

SPF Yoga offers a unique step by step approach.  Students can enroll in one or two weekend intensive programs to begin the learning process.  If a student decides they would like to continue their yoga journey, the CYT weekend intensive hours and fees are applied to the 200 Hour Certification.  It’s a great way to get started.

Is this training for everyone?

No – it’s not.  It’s a commitment to yourself and to transformation.

The weekend intensive sessions are immersions of yoga.  They are a chance to get away, reflect, heal, grow and experience the power of the process.

The 200 Hour YTT is an investment of time, energy and spirit.  We meet for 26 (4.5) hour classroom sessions once a week, and three weekend intensives.  They are all fabulous.  We are a family when it is done…a Sangha, a community.

What do I walk away with when it’s done?

Students that complete the 200 training receive a Certificate of Completion from SPF Yoga, a Yoga Alliance Registered School.  This certification is widely accepted and recognized as accredited training worldwide.

Weekend intensive training sessions provide students with 18 credit hours in Continuing Education Units.  As a YA registered school, these hours are accepted as appropriate continuing education for a variety of fields including allied health, sports medicine, behavioral sciences, and early childhood education.  Professionals seeking CECs or CEUs should check with their employers or associations to verify acceptance.  

Yoga Alliance RYTs are required to maintain 30 hours of ongoing training every three years.  Our weekend intensives and training workshops offer CEUs to maintain your Registered Yoga Teacher Training qualifications.
