500 Hour Teacher Training

How is the 500 hour program different than the 200 hour program?

Pose by Pose Yoga® 500 Hour Teacher Training Program expands on the introductory topics taught in the 200 Hour Yoga Training Program. You will be exposed to a variety of yoga philosophy, more detailed anatomy, and also have the opportunity to teach the large group from time to time.

*You must have graduated from our 200 hour program or have a valid certificate from another YA approved 200 hour program in order to enroll in the 500 hour program.

How long will the program take?

This training offers you 300 contact hours with Yoga Alliance approved faculty. The structure of the program is set up for you to take seventeen (16) hour weekend workshops, and seven (4) hour master classes in your area of interest.

Weekend trainings are the first Saturday and Sunday of the month. Master classes are offered bi-monthly. Attending additional weekday and monthly trainings may result in an early graduation.

What is the structure of the weekend like?

A normal weekend consists of an introduction to the weekend’s topic, led asana and pranayama practices, detailed instructions on special practices (meditation, kriyas, chanting, yoga nidra), anatomy, interactive philosophy discussions, and practice teaching to large groups.

When are trainings held?

We meet for the main training once a month. Dates and times found on our website! We have additional optional Master Classes offered two-three times per month.

How much does the program cost?

The total cost of the program is $3800. We ask for a deposit of $400 to reserve your spot which is then applied to your total cost. You will be asked to pay a monthly payment of $200 at least 3 days prior to the weekend workshop.

What if I need to miss a workshop?

Pose by Pose Yoga® Teacher Training is run year-round. You will have twenty (20) months to complete your seventeen (17) month program. Master classes are offered bi-monthly and can be used as make-up hours.

What will I leave the program with?

As a graduate of the Pose by Pose Yoga® 500 Hour Teacher Training Program, you will have the credentials to register your 500 hour certificate with Yoga Alliance. You will also have a deeper understanding on how to present yoga philosophy, anatomy, and asana to your own students.
