IS THIS PROGRAM FOR YOU?

The 889 Yoga Teacher Training is for someone looking to deepen their knowledge of yoga, in its many forms. Some students have a clear intention to teach upon graduation, others just want to enjoy the path of self-discovery.

This course offers valuable life skills which will carry and elevate you far beyond your yoga mat (ask any of our Graduates!). These include embodied movement and physiological awareness, critical thinking skills, presenting arguments, and conscious communication.

The schedule is manageable for those running a home and for those with full-time careers or studies with some advance planning and commitment. On top of the classroom hours, you should expect 2-3 hours of reading and homework per week.

PROGRAM PRE-REQUISITES:

A minimum of 6 months practising yoga and/or meditation or studies in other related mind-body disciplines is required. In addition, we strongly recommend that you begin a regular practice at 889 prior to the program commencing, with a focus on 889 Flow classes. As a result, you will get the most out of your 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program.

Therefore, upon completion of the program and final exam requirements, you will be qualified to register with the Yoga Alliance in order to receive your 200-hour Teacher Training certification. This is a 200-hour Yoga Alliance (www.yogaalliance.com) certified program.
