Are you interested in evolving your yoga practice? Do you have the desire to gain lifelong skills on how to better navigate the world of yoga? Are you hungry to make a real substantive difference in other people’s lives?

UW Recreations 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program provides the opportunity to step into a voyage of self-discovery, strengthen your physical body, amplify the power of your breath and learn key methodologies for guiding others in practice of yoga.

Steeped in the foundational principles of mindfulness, anatomy and physiology, as well as practical and digestible topics of yoga philosophy, our Registered Yoga Alliance training provides a deep dive into the exploration of not only teaching, but actually LIVING yoga as a lifestyle.

Program & Course Information

Course Curriculum: 
Yoga Alliance has implemented a new RYS 200 Standard which we follow:

  • Take note that while we cover all of these categories we do not necessarily cover all information listed in this chart.
  • Our curriculum also includes additional content such as conscious communication, listening skills, and self-development exercises (eye contact, compassion journey, sustaining postures, journaling prompts, etc.).
    • These are lead in dyads, triads, and sometimes groups.
    • The self-development portion is designed to strengthen your awareness muscle for your life off the mat and so you can better work with the skills and challenges that may arise as a guide of yoga.
    • In this training it is our intent to make everyone feel welcome.
    • We commit to making this a FUN program for people from all walks of life.
