Join a special group of aspiring yoga teachers who are ready to move deeper into themselves and their own power. In our Yoga Teacher Training program, a registered 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certification, you will tap into your undiscovered internal power, awaken your spirit, and learn to become a dynamic and intuitive yoga teacher.

The goal of our Level 1 Certification is to teach you how to become a dynamic teacher, while at the same time, giving you an opportunity to explore and discover the power within yourself, both as a teacher and as an individual. Our practical training programs teach you how to TEACH yoga, not just the poses. Most yoga teacher trainings are spread out over a nine-week period, letting you digest and apply what you’ve learned. We will train you to teach a dynamic and challenging CorePower Yoga Class, and give you the confidence to step into any class and guide the students through a powerful physical and mental journey.

Although you may have a gifted personal practice, guiding a room full of students through a powerful Vinyasa yoga practice with confidence is quite different than practicing yourself. Mastering the ability to communicate with your students is a crucial part of being an effective teacher. From a modern physiology and functional anatomy perspective, CorePower Yoga Teacher Trainings provide cutting edge techniques such as anatomy study, cadaver labs, video review, posture specific workshops, and more, for a comprehensive experience. Having a strong understanding of the way the body functions allows teachers to better understand why postures work the way they do and why the series follows a particular sequence. This allows our teachers to effectively give firm and safe hands-on physical adjustments.

What to expect during training:

  • Learn how to teach a vinyasa yoga class as a workout for the body, mind and spirit 
  • Learn how to sequence asanas in a fluid manner and unite breath with movement
  • Learn about alignment and how to avoid injuries
  • Learn how to teach with your voice and your hands, how to encourage and inspire people, and how to use your body language to enhance a class
  • Learn how to give safe and effective hands-on adjustments and also about the different styles and intentions of touch
  • Hone your presentation and communications skills so that you can deliver a class in a concise manner, connecting with all students
  • Learn how to read bodies, physically and emotionally, as well as the energy of a group or individual
  • Learn basic physiology and anatomy
  • Learn how to market yourself and your studio to build a following
  • Delve into Yoga Ethics and the student-teacher relationship
  • Explore the History of Yoga
  • Learn the business side of running a yoga studio

The 200-hour yoga teacher training schedule will be broken down as follows:

Techniques – 100 hours – Includes both training in the techniques and practice of asanas, pranayamas, kriyas, chanting and meditation.
Teaching methodology – 25 hours – Includes principles of demonstration, observation, assisting, instruction, teaching styles, quality of a teacher, and the students’ process of learning.
Anatomy and Physiology – 20 hours – Includes both Anatomy and Physiology (bodily systems, organs etc.) and astral/energy/subtle Anatomy and Physiology (chakras, nadis etc.)
Philosophy, Ethics and Lifestyle – 30 hours – Study of Yoga Scriptures, ethics for yoga teachers, “living the life of the Yogi”
Practicum – 10 hours – Includes student teaching as well as observing and assisting in classes taught by others. May be a combination of supervised and unsupervised.
The Business of Yoga – 5 hours – Explore some business aspects of running a yoga studio
Electives – 10 hours – These are to be drawn from the other five categories.
(These hours will include at least 180 contact hours. Contact hours means that the Teacher Trainer is physically in the presence of the student.)

Our program is for those who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their CorePower Yoga practice. It is also for those who wish to obtain an official “Level One Basic Certification” from CorePower Yoga.

*Certification is not automatic upon completion of the course and will be determined by an instructor’s assessment of the student’s understanding of the materials as well as their capacity and ability to teach.

Growth is arguably the single most important factor to living one’s life to its full potential. So, why not step out of your comfort zone and grow, challenge yourself in ways you have never been challenged before and make a difference in this world? Share the gift of yoga – become a powerful, inspirational and dynamic CorePower Yoga Teacher.
