Abundant Path 200hr Yoga Teacher Certification Program
Thank you for considering Abundant Path School of Yoga to deepen your Yoga practice and embark on the path of becoming a yoga teacher. You are an intrepid seeker, courageously taking on the illuminating journey to the inner self!
By the end of this training, you will acquire a graduation certificate that qualifies you as a 200hr Yoga Teacher that will be recognized for registration with the Yoga Alliance as a 200hr RYT. More importantly, you will gain the knowledge and hone the necessary skills to live and confidently share the wisdom of this ancient yoga tradition through a modern lens.
Whether your desire is to teach yoga to others, or to immerse yourself in structured practice for continued self-study, this process will stir your personal development profoundly. For me, this is truly the most exciting aspect of traveling on this life-long path: redefining how to see oneself in the universe, how one relates with the universe, and experience embodying the universe.

Yoga is for Everyone, but this Program is Not…
This program requires dedication of body, mind, and energy for not only the 200 hours of training, but the time for additional assignments, self practice, and reflection that is required for a meaningful experience. You will have plenty of support along the way, but the commitment is on you.
