Elevate your personal practice, develop your public speaking + teaching skills, and transform your life! Our 200-Hour Power Yoga Teacher Training is Yoga Alliance certified and well-suited for those who wish to deepen an existing practice or learn to teach power yoga.
This transformative program will include posture breakdowns with a focus on alignment, safety and building your own practice. We will provide you with the tools to deliver an inspiring class, one that you competently theme and sequence on your own, while providing the art of assisting your students in their form and creating connection with them. You’ll learn about the history of yoga, dive into yoga philosophy, study mediation, breath work and anatomy.
We like to call this Better Human Training. Through the leadership training and personal development provided, you’ll walk away a better wife, husband, sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son and human.

No. All we advise is that you have an active yoga practice and that you are looking to deepen it. Whether your practice started a couple months ago or ten years ago, all we ask is that you come with an open heart and a willingness to learn.
Yes! Your student manual, books, and all required readings are included in your enrollment fee. We distribute all of it on the first night of training.
You will spend about 25 hours outside of the studio on assigned homework. You are also required to take 35 classes, complete 5 class observations at Power Life and participate in a community service event to earn your 200-hour certification.
You don’t have to be sure! Many trainees take training to elevate their personal practice, connect deeper with themselves, develop a skill set like public speaking or meet new likeminded individuals.
We encourage you to attend all sessions, but we also understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session, our coaches will work with you to create a plan to make up all hours missed, so long as you do not need to miss a significant amount of days during training.
Totally fine! You will be awarded your certificate upon completion of all requirements outlined at the beginning of training, whether that takes you 8 weeks or one year. Everyone works at their own pace, so don’t let the timeline scare you away from taking training if you’re ready to take this step.
Power Life’s training is based in Power Yoga and the foundations set forth by Baron Baptiste. During training you will also have opportunities to explore other styles of yoga to give you a broader understanding of yoga. Upon completion of training, you’ll have the ability to teach Power Yoga as well as Restore/Yin and Hot yoga formats that are offered at Power Life.
Yes! Once you’ve successfully complete the requirements of training, you’ll be awarded a graduation certificate. You can then register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200. This designation is recognized around the world as having met the criteria of completing a training program of the highest quality.
Power Life is committed to hiring the top graduates from our training programs. Auditions are held following graduation. Our students have very high standards, so we select the best of the best from auditions. In an audition, you’ll see fellow graduates, graduates from past trainings and experienced teachers that may be new to the area.
We also have an intern program for those who need a bit more refinement in their teaching. Those who are invited to join this program teach a free community class on a rotating basis while regularly receiving feedback.
It is not uncommon for teachers to audition here multiple times while gaining experience elsewhere. Others choose to continue to walk the path exclusively of a student.
Short answer: probably not. We offer a training schedule spread over eight weeks that is held on evenings and Saturdays to accommodate most schedules. While 200 hours is a lot of time, it is a choice and commitment you make when you enroll knowing how much you will gain from the experience. We feel there is never a “perfect” time to take training. If the desire to take training burns in your heart, then jump in! However, if you feel as though right now is an excessively busy time in your life, and you know you’d have to miss too many sessions, then maybe you sign up for the next training. Sometimes the perfect time is now, and the only thing keeping you from jumping in is you.
