Embodying Yoga 200hr

Teacher Training

— a path to deepening your practice and understanding of yogic traditions, as well as finding your voice and presence as a teacher of yoga.

October 3, 2025 - February 1, 2026

Embodying Yoga 200hr YTT is a path to deepening your practice and understanding of yogic traditions, as well as finding your voice and presence as a teacher of yoga.  Whether you plan to teach public classes, work with clients, and/or demonstrate the wisdom of knowledge through your way of life, this training will support and encourage your growth as a student of yoga.

The Embodying Yoga 200hr Teacher Training with Sacred Space Astoria is a path to deepen your personal practice and your understanding of yogic traditions, as well as find your voice and presence as a teacher of yoga.  Whether you plan to teach public classes, work with clients, and/or demonstrate the wisdom of knowledge through your way of life, this training will support and encourage your growth as a student of yoga.

At Sacred Space Astoria, we aim to make yoga accessible to people who might not think a yoga studio is a place for them.  This focus on accessibility will carry over to our training, offering a deeper understanding of all 8 limbs of yoga. While the training will have a strong focus on asana to allow graduates to teach physical yoga (asana) classes, you will also learn and experience the energetic, emotional, and spiritual benefits of an advancing yoga practice.  Each week you’ll work with, explore and study different aspects of a well-rounded practice (mantras, mudras, asana poses, pranayama, chakras, meditation).  Our training offers a container for self-healing and growth, bringing an awareness to both the obvious physical benefits and the more subtle energetic shifts and changes that come with regular practice.

Embodying Yoga TT students should be aware that they will not only learn about yoga as a spiritual and healing practice, but that they will be actively engaged in the practice as such.  Often, YTT programs can be life-changing and transformative, regardless of whether you intend to teach yoga upon graduation or are taking the training for your own benefit.

Embodying Yoga TT students should expect to attend/assist/observe weekly classes, complete weekly reading and reflection assignments, attend monthly mentorship meetings, and work with an accountability partner for practice teaching and community support.

While not registered with Yoga Alliance, our training, at a minimum, adheres to their published standards, which align with industry standards of skills and knowledge held by yoga teachers and advanced practitioners.  Sacred Space Astoria does not consider YA membership when hiring but instead focuses on the individual’s experience, knowledge, expression of yogic practices and alignment to our studio’s values.
