Transform Yourself
Embark on a journey of self-discovery with our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Pistachio Yoga. Our program is registered with the Yoga Alliance, ensuring the highest standards of yoga education and certification. Dive deep into the ancient practice of yoga, cultivate mindfulness, and enhance your physical and mental well-being. Join us and transform yourself both on and off the mat. This is perfect for those that want to become a yoga instructor or for a practitioner that just wants to deepen their practice!
​
The program is disbursed over 9 months, where we will explore the history of yoga, yoga anatomy and asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, and more.
​
This series is a hybrid course of independent study, online meetings, and in-person meetings, making the program work and family friendly.
​​
10 reasons why Pistachio Yoga's 200-hour intensive is unique:
​
This is a hybrid program ( 45 hours of independent study & 155 hours in the presence of a lead trainer) which allows you to do part of your course at your own pace and in the convenience of your own home. We don't rush through the training - The 9 months will give you time to digest the information and finish your training in an efficient time.
The program's class times are designed to work around the typical 9-5 work schedule, allowing for a good work/life balance.
Though the online portion is designed to make this program convenient for the student, we believe the in-person sessions are crucial to the growth of becoming an effective yoga instructor. Any in-person sessions will be efficient, providing intense 1:1 mentorship with personalized attention, teaching you how to do hands-on adjustments to help students find their "sweet spots", and how to lead a class successfully .
​
In-person mentors can advise on habits and/or mistakes, those of which cannot be caught with just an online YTT course but instead can only be seen in person and can be corrected.
Pistachio Yoga's YTT is designed to be an inclusive yoga program. You will learn how to teach students of all body types, backgrounds, and beliefs.
An in-person YTT builds community that creates lasting connections with a wonderful network of like-minded people.
Pistachio Yoga's YTT will expose you to many styles of yoga while maintaining the focus of the studio's style that evolved from the many formats you'll be exposed to.
Our YTT is affordable, offering flexible payment plans that fit your financial needs.
Pistachio Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS). This means that if you complete your teacher training with us, you will be able to register with the Yoga Alliance and become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). Learn more about the Yoga Alliance and it's standards here: https://yogaalliance.org/
Lead trainers have a collective 25+ years of teaching and offer a fresh perspective while maintaining yoga's rich traditions.
