What Is It?
The YogaMedCo Yoga Teacher Training enables you to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with the Yoga Alliance. You'll learn the YogaMedco Method for teaching clients to practice yoga safely on and off of the mat.

  • Core Yoga (focusing on balance, breath and core-initiated movement)
  • Power (Vinyasa) Yoga
  • Restorative Yoga
  • Strength-Based Yoga
Because of new guidance from Yoga Alliance, we are delighted to now be able to offer this training online -- so that you can join us from anywhere in the world. Don't miss this opportunity to practice with us on and off of the mat -- and make 2022 the year that you made your dream of being a yoga teacher AND a health coach come true from the comfort fo your own home!

How is this program delivered?
In September of 2021 Yoga Alliance gave our school, and other approved programs like ours, permission to offer our trainings online through 2023.

That's why we can offer this hybrid online training (combining self-paced online pre-work with live online training) for a total of 200 hours - so you can earn your RYT 200 in 2022 completely online!
  • Level 1: 1 hr self-paced online prep + 8 hours (1 day) live zoom = 9 hrs
  • Level 2: 2 hrs self-paced online prep  + 16 hrs (2 days) live zoom = 18 hrs
  • Level 3: 28 hrs self-paced online prep + 16 hrs (2 days) live zoom = 44 hrs
  • Level 4: 21 hrs self-paced online prep +16 hrs (2 days) live zoom = 37 hrs
  • Level 5: 56 hrs self-paced work + 36 hrs (2 weekends) live zoom = 92 hrs
  • Total Training Hrs = 200 hours 

​Upon successful completion of all 200 hours, you will earn eligibility to take the national board exam in Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) AND the ability to register as a Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.
