200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program

July - December 2025

Intention:

Humble Haven’s 200-hour Teacher Training Program is designed to empower each individual participant with the tools to teach, lead, and be in mindful community on and off their mat while simultaneously deepening their own practice. Our teaching is rooted in Power Vinyasa and uses this lineage as the foundation for all other styles of yoga explored. Each session is structured around 3 areas of practice - Asana (movement), Meditation, and Self Reflection or Inquiry. All leaders of this 200-hour teacher training program are teachers in the classroom setting and they are also leaders in their individual and shared communities utilizing the principles that the entirety of the yoga practice teaches. This program is for those that desire to learn for themselves or with the goal of teaching in mind.

Teaching Modules:

In-depth Asana (Posture) Study of two core practices - Power Vinyasa, Yin, and Power Down (a Vin/Yin practice)
Guided study of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions can be made up through a combination of reading and one-on-one instruction dependent on the material that is missed. Make up sessions are not included in the cost of tuition and cost $75/hour paid directly to the lead teacher providing the make up hours. This is to ensure all instructional hours are met that are required to meet the credentials of the program. Make ups are not guaranteed to be scheduled prior to the end of the program.
To meet training hour requirements and to support the material you are learning inside training hours, each participant must take 40 group yoga classes at Humble Haven. Yoga Build and Bootcamp classes do not count towards the 40 class requirement. Each YTT participant will have a 40 class package put on their account that is active from the start of training through graduation weekend. This clas package is included in the cost of training.
Yoga Teacher Training is an educational program for those that are interested in studying yoga holistically. There are no pre requisites to participate except a willingness to show up at your 100% on any given day for training and to immerse fully in the offerings of the training.
No, you do not have to want to teach to do teacher training. Part of the training curriculum includes practice teaching as a part of the learning process; however, the program is designed for those looking to immerse themselves in the study of yoga regardless of how they use the certification upon completion.
Sessions will start promptly at the posted times and we commit to always ending on time. Late arrivals and early departures will require make up hours at an additional expense.
