Teacher Training & Continuing Education
At Yoga Tree we offer a wide range of courses and content both for current teachers seeking to improve their teaching skills and for students interested in learning to teach yoga. Our 200-hour Teacher Training Program is registered with Yoga Alliance. We divide our teacher-training program into 5 modules, which may be taken separately. Many current teachers enroll in some of the classes to gain knowledge and improve their skills. The modular format allows you to progress at your own pace and tailor the content to your interests. Our focus is on producing excellent teachers, so we make your skills development the priority.
