200-Hour Yoga
Teacher Training

Students enrolled in our program typically spend 1-3 hours each week completing non-contact hours, towards the goal of graduating. These hours typically include homework assignments that build upon topics and train skills covered during training modules, reading 1-2 books throughout the program, and attending yoga classes at the studio.

There is no asana that you MUST do in order to become a yoga teacher. It matters far more your level of sincere interest in the practice of yoga, which includes far more than asana! You are free and encouraged to explore asana throughout this training in a way that meets you in your unique body, mind and heart, and that changes day by day. Keep in mind this training is geared toward vinyasa and hatha flow styles of practice. Our teachers are skilled at providing options for all levels to make the practice more accessible.

Anyone who requests via email can set up a payment plan for their enrollment. Payment plans can be unique to each individual and what works best for their financial circumstances. Typically, a set amount is paid each month. The only rule we have is the program must be paid for in full by graduation. To start a payment plan, email program directors here

You can expect each day of training to begin with an embodied practice that leads into the subject matter for that day. Our instructors and the subject matter we cover throughout training are diverse, so you can expect each day of training to unfold in a unique and enriching way. Within that you can expect opportunities to move, breathe, learn, reflect, apply methods, and train new skills and capacities.

BYC is happy to provide mats, blocks, straps, and bolsters for all participants of the training. We encourage students to also have these items at home so they can practice using them when not at the studio. In addition, students are required to acquire a handful of required texts.

Yes! All students enrolled in our training receive an unlimited studio membership for the duration of their training.

After graduating from this training you gain access to teaching community classes at the studio on a rotational basis with other graduates from your cohort. Your access to these classes is an opportunity for you to further refine your skills at sequencing and cueing and to develop your voice as a teacher.

We will work with each student on a case by case basis to make sure everyone who is committed to their training graduates the program. In general, this is our more detailed makeup policy:

Zooming in when you’re sick: There may be occasions when you can’t make it to the studio for training because you are sick and may be able to attend via zoom at the teacher’s discretion. Zoom attendance is not guaranteed. It is important to note that this training is not an online training and the quality of training experience in person cannot be replicated through zoom attendance. We discourage students from relying on zoom, but reserve it as an option.

1-10 Contact hours missed: If you are absent from a scheduled module, you will email the instructor directly and ask them for a makeup assignment. To compensate instructors for their time creating, reviewing and offering feedback on makeup assignments, a $45 makeup assignment fee is paid directly to the instructor. You also have the option to coordinate a 1:1 session with your instructor for content hours you would prefer to makeup in person. Private lesson rates vary but average around $80 per hour. Typically one missed module can be covered within 1-2 hours with a trainer.

11+ Contact hours missed: If you miss more than 10 contact hours, additional makeup assignments are insufficient for completing required contact hours of the program. Once 10 contact hours have been missed and made up via a makeup assignment, additional missed hours must be made up during 1:1 private sessions with the instructor. Private lesson rates vary but average around $80 per hour. Typically one missed module can be covered within 1-2 hours with a trainer.
