200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
November 8, 2024 – April 13, 2025
If you’re on this webpage, you know that the practice of yoga heals, connects, and inspires. At some point, you will feel called to not just keep this to yourself: You will want to share it with everyone around you. If you feel the call and are ready to create a positive impact in your life and community, begin your journey with 502 Power Yoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
Who is this training for?
This training is for you if you have maintained a committed yoga practice and are hungry to take the next step in deepening your understanding of this ancient practice and potentially sharing it with others.
Format of the Training
This training is 100% in-person and will consist of 6 immersive Training Weekends, in-studio practice (a 6-month Membership is included with your tuition), practice teaching, reading and reflection on historical texts, and more.
The culmination of our training is a unique one-on-one mentorship with a member of our experienced Teaching Team. This will fast-track your teaching skills and prepare you for teaching an in-studio 60-minute Vinyasa Yoga class towards the end of the training.
Our training group will be limited to 16 participants to promote an intimate and personalized environment.

Course Focus
Our yoga school is in the vinyasa style of yoga in which sequences of postures are linked to create a “moving meditation.” As part of the Ashtanga Vinyasa lineage, importance will be placed on linking the movements intentionally with breath. We will focus on teaching in a group class setting to a variety of levels.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this training, you will have the tools to:
- Thoughtfully sequence a vinyasa yoga class (asana)
- Create the space for spontaneity and creativity within those sequences
- Give physical adjustments (assists) to students
- Lead guided meditation (dhyana) and breathwork (pranayama)
- Manage a classroom of students safely and effectively
- Create opportunities for teaching in your community
Applications
We are accepting applications now through September 30, 2024. Please note that your application does not guarantee placement in the program. We will choose our yoga teacher trainees based on experience and general readiness to ensure our graduates are of the highest caliber.

200-Hour Approved
| Techniques, Training, and Practice | 100 hours |

Required Texts
These texts are to be acquired before the training and will be read/referenced/studied throughout the program. No reading is required before the program begins!
We recommend purchasing your own copies of each of these texts as they will be the beginning of your own yoga library and you will likely look back on them time and time again. Physical copies are preferred over digital for the ability to highlight, make notes, earmark, and refer back to key passages. Please shop local if possible!
