When is the next 200hr YTT?

We currently do not have a 200hr YTT planned for 2025. We are curating our 300hr YTT to give BEND 200hr YTT Graduates, and community 200hr RYT’s the opportunity to deepen their understanding of yoga. This 300hr Training will begin in May 2025 with an immersive week in Kino, Mexico!

Why complete a YTT?

Advance your personal yoga practice while discovering and implementing new approaches and applications to clarify and direct your teaching skills.

What will BEND’s YTT provide?

This training will highlight advanced techniques in asana, pranayama, and meditation. Build confidence in teaching to diverse levels, abilities, and backgrounds, and learn systems to develop workshops and targeted teaching series for your current or future students.

We'll also have fun together as we take a deeper dive into the many aspects of yoga practice and philosophy.

Our YTT provides you the knowledge to teach yoga anywhere (not just BEND).

How long does a 200hr YTT take to complete?

Each program is different. Our YTT will take 5 months to complete, and offers a great balance of personal life and teacher training hours.

Who is this training for?

• Those who are at least 18 years old

• Those looking to earn their 200hr Yoga Alliance approved yoga teaching certification

• Those wanting to deepen their personal practice and understanding of Yoga
