The 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a 26-day course in classical Hatha yoga for a maximum of 20 students, covering asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and teaching practice, and leads to Yoga Alliance RYT 200 registration. Teachers who have completed a foundation course can continue with the 50-day 500 Hour Advanced YTTC.
