Yoga Pod 200 Hour Vinyasa Training

Welcome to your 200 Hour Training

We are glad you are here! Our training intention at Yoga Pod is to facilitate a learning environment of self-discovery paired with practical skills to teach yoga and deepen your personal practice.

We believe our methodology is impactful; however, it does require hands-on experience and your dedication to achieve the full potential of the material we will cover.

The amount of effort you put into this program is directly related to the results you’ll receive.

Together we will cover the study of foundational postures, modifications, anatomy, history + philosophy, and techniques to enhance the classroom experience.

Whether you decide to teach yoga or not, after you complete this course you will find yoga resides everywhere – both on and off the mat.

Let’s get started and explore everything you’ll need to know to succeed throughout this training.
