About the Yoga People 200hr Teacher Training
Designed for individuals with a desire to teach yoga or a desire to deepen their yoga practice. This training will immerse you in yoga for 4 months, transforming the way you practice and giving you the tools necessary to teach.
Our curriculum focuses on the practical application of yoga technique & philosophy in the studio and classroom. Our blossoming teachers will transition confidently from student to teacher as the curriculum includes a concentration on practice teaching with the guidance and feedback of experienced yoga teachers.
The yoga people teacher training concentrates on a variety of yoga styles and teaching modalities giving graduates a breadth of knowledge on many different types of yoga. Unlike the large yoga schools in Manhattan, you will find our training more intimate with the focus on you and not on the school.
Yoga People is a Yoga Alliance Registered School and the curriculum will cover all the requirements listed by Yoga Alliance for the 200 hour program.

TESTIMONIALS:
The program has helped me deepen my personal practice, and it has given me the knowledge base I needed to feel confident as a teacher. Though I'll always be a yoga student first, thanks to an amazing group of teachers with diverse strengths and varied interests I'm now ready to set sail as a teacher." - E. Holt, RYT
The Yoga People teacher training has helped me further embrace my passion for yoga - the mix of teachers challenge me to look at my practice (and my life!) from many different angles. There's a nice blend of guidance, along with encouragement to be proactive in my studies and to listen to my inner voice and to trust that. The staff is extremely knowledgable and supportive and open to our needs throughout the course. - M. Glick, RYT
The raw energy and dedication of the instructors brought forth a sense of truth and safe vunerability. With their guidance I was able to find my own truth, not only as an instructor but as a whole person. I’m honored and proud to have been part of the Yoga People Teacher Training. - C. Henderson, RYT
I truly enjoyed the Yoga People Teacher Training, and feel that it provided an excellent foundation in the knowledge and teaching of yoga. There are many teacher trainings in New York City, and I definitely made the right choice. - C. Napier
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Do I need to be an advanced yoga student for this training?
Yoga People's teacher training is an intense course of study, requiring a substantial investment of time and energy. While no particular level of asana practice is required for the training, the curriculum is not geared for beginning students, and we require at least one year of yoga practice as a prerequisite.
Why do I need to fill out the application?
Because Yoga People's teacher training places a high premium on individual instruction, and because the curriculum is guided by the needs of individual students, understanding your background, interests, and experience is what makes the training so effective. There are no right or wrong answers—your honest responses will create the strongest application.
Does my tuition cover materials and textbooks?
Your tuition covers the cost of Yoga People's teacher training manual. A reading list for other required reading will be delivered you in advance of the program and those texts may be purchased separately at Yoga People or at any yoga bookstore or online.
How much homework is there during the training?
Homework includes weekly required reading, writing assignments, asana assignments for study outside of class, and research for planning your own class sequences.
How much yoga will we be doing?
Twelve outside classes are included for the training, there will also be classes within each training weekend. The course of study includes a variety of topics outside the physical practice, but you can expect to be practicing yoga on the mat every day of the training.
Will I teach during the training?
Yes. You will teach for fellow trainees and teachers from the start of the training. Several practice teaching sessions are scheduled during the curriculum. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to community classes as you become ready.
What if I have to miss a session?
During the training, you can miss one session as long as any homework, practice teachings, and curriculum exercises for that day are made up at a later date. We ask for advance notice of any absences outside of emergencies.
Do I need to be tested to become registered?
Yes. The certification process concludes with a take-home essay test that covers the entire curriculum, and a teaching practicum in which each trainee leads a full class session.
What is Yoga Alliance?
Yoga Alliance® registers both individual yoga teachers and yoga teacher training programs who have complied with minimum educational standards established by the organization. Many studios and gyms required Yoga Alliance registration as a way to ensure that their teachers have attained a minimum level of training. Upon completion of the Yoga People teacher training program, you will have completely satisfied the requirements to register at the 200-hour level with Yoga Alliance.
What if I would like to teach for Yoga People?
We love to have our teacher trainees teach at Yoga People! Upon completion of the training, and upon the recommendation of the training directors, you will be eligible to audition to become an instructor at Yoga People.
