200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
​(On Pause for 2026)​
Ah, there you are! I am glad you navigated to this page. I have some good information about training included on this page and I am hopeful that these words resonate with you.
Have you wondered how your Yoga practice can be deepened?
​
Yoga Teacher Training isn't just about learning how to teach Yoga.
Yoga Teacher Training is an invitation to know yourself on a deeper level- and in my, and many others' cases- develop an appreciation and love for who you are at your core through the philosophical aspects of the Yoga practice.
Would you like to learn how to teach a safe and effective Yoga class? Do you feel like you are ready to teach and be immersed in the Yoga community?
We will, of course, be learning how to lead classes, and when training is over, you can decide to teach in whatever capacity you feel led.
My goal in teaching Yoga Teacher Training is to take you into your practice and self knowledge on a deeper level through the philosophies of Yoga, but also, to ensure that Yoga stays within that realm for future students.
When we become Yoga teachers, we become stewards of the Practice and all that it encompasses.
Yoga is wellness on all levels- not an exercise program.
Choosing a training can be overwhelming, so let's talk about why you should choose mine.
Yoga Teacher Training, or YTT, (200 in this case) is the first level of certification to become a Registered Yoga Teacher 200 or RYT200. This certification is through Yoga Alliance.
Yoga Alliance Standards set the ethical and educational framework for yoga teachers and schools in order to ensure high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga teaching in communities around the world.
There are many options for YTT, and they all have merit. Online options offer flexibility in ways in-person simply can not.
However, it is my opinion that YTT is best experienced in-person with a small group and a dedicated teacher. This allows for personal growth, deeper understanding of group dynamics and will expose you to different abilities and experiences.
Why choose my training?
I have been teaching Yoga in the Baton Rouge area for over 10 years, and I have a background in bodywork for 20 years. I have co-led one YTT and led one ( and a half) solo. I have taken two YTT myself - they were very different- experiences which has helped me hone in on what is important in my dedicated training.
All of my continuing education has centered around making Yoga Accessible to all bodies.
I hold certifications in:
These unique experiences sets my training apart from others by really focusing on making the practice of Yoga sustainable and accessible to all bodies for a lifelong practice, while allowing you the space to grow into your own practice.
My YTT is limited to 6 Yogis, and is held in-person. Students have access directly to the lead trainer (me) and communication is of the utmost importance. Holding space for your training is something I take very seriously and I am invested in your experience wholeheartedly.
This training is Hatha based on the Ashtanga Method with an emphasis on making Yoga accessible to all bodies. Students will arrive on the other side of training with the tools to safely and effectively teach an asana class.
Upon completion, the YTTs can register with Yoga Alliance to become RYT200 and can go forth and teach if they choose to do so.
6 spaces are available in this cohort.
