(04)—Graduate stories

What happened next

The credential is just the beginning. Here's what the training actually changed.

"Having been in the yoga community for a while, I sort of knew what to expect going into a 200hr YTT, but Yogalife’s program blew those expectations out of the water! Every subject we were taught was taught by teachers who specialize in those subjects, keeping the program vibrant each new day. I gained so much knowledge about all 8 limbs of yoga and after 200 hours felt just as excited to keep learning and growing as I did on day one. Not to mention the lasting friendships and support systems that we were able to make along the way!"

200HR graduate

2026 cohort

"I came into this program, mostly excited about Asana, and movement, which we covered extensively. But along the way I learned yoga is not just Asana, it is a vast world of philosophy and art. I learned a lot, and am happy that I graduated from the program, knowing that there are a lot to explore in this vast world, now that I have experienced different parts of it, and can begin this journey of yoga again!"

200HR graduate

2026 cohort

"My 200HR YTT at Yogalife is truly transforming. Not only were the classes all-encompassing, but the diverse team of instructors and teachers have all left their own mark on me during my training."

(06)—Questions

Before you decide

Do I need to want to teach to do the training?

No. Many people do the 200HR to deepen their personal practice, understand the why behind the poses, and build a relationship with yoga that goes beyond showing up to class. Whether you teach afterward is entirely up to you.

What are the prerequisites?

For the 200HR: a consistent personal practice. You do not need to touch your toes or hold a handstand. Continuing education modules like the 50HR Yin are open to everyone; you can take them purely to deepen your own understanding. A foundational teacher training (200HR from any school) is only needed if you plan to teach what you learn.

How does the 300HR work?

The 300HR Advanced Teacher Training is a structured program with required core modules plus electives you choose from our continuing education catalog (Yin, Nidra, Meditation, Sequencing, Philosophy). If you have already taken a CE module, those hours count retroactively. The program is still being developed; join the interest list to be the first to know.

Can I take a CE module without being in the 300HR program?

Yes. Every continuing education module is a standalone course. You do not need to be enrolled in, or even considering, the 300HR to take the Yin training or any future module.

Is the training Yoga Alliance registered?

Yes. The 200HR program is registered with Yoga Alliance and graduates are eligible to register as RYT-200. Continuing education modules carry Yoga Alliance-eligible contact hours.

What happens after I finish the 200HR?

You will be qualified to teach, and many of our graduates teach at Yogalife. Beyond that, you can specialize through continuing education modules, work toward the 300HR advanced credential, or carry the training into your own practice.
