Our foundational 200-hour yoga teacher training gives you all the tools you need to lead well-balanced yoga classes and to deepen your own practice. You will learn invaluable skills for use in the yoga classroom—and you’ll find these skills apply in a variety of situations. You’ll also learn loads about yourself. That means this program is a fine choice even if you think you have no desire to teach.
This seven-weekend program is led by professional educator Alexandra DeSiato, E-RYT500—herself a graduate of the program. We start in January 2025, and we really hope you will join us. Sign up before December 1 for the early bird rate!
Our program gives you a thorough grounding in:
- the philosophy and history of yoga
- the yoga techniques of asana (poses), pranayama (breath work), and meditation—nuts and bolts, safe practices
- anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, from both Western and Eastern perspectives
- teaching skills, from language to sequencing to modifications
- how to create an inclusive classroom
Your lead teacher, Alexandra DeSiato, has twenty years’ experience leading college classrooms and fifteen years’ experience teaching movement, including Pilates and yoga. A masterful communicator, Alexandra is coauthor of three books: Lifelong Yoga and Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses, both cowritten with teacher training program director Sage Rountree, and Whole Mama Yoga, cowritten with day-one Carrboro Yoga teacher Lauren Sacks.
We meet seven weekends over four months. This model allows for a deeper dive and an opportunity for self-study, plus the freshness of a compact timeline.

In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and lead restorative yoga classes.
This reverse-classroom workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes (lucky you!) to complete before we meet, so please budget at least seven hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.
Our in-person sessions will:
+ Create a clear definition of what constitutes restorative
yoga—and what differentiates it from gentle yoga and yin yoga
+ Take a bird's-eye view of the nervous system and its experience
in restorative yoga
+ Workshop the student experience in restorative yoga classes, so
we can empathize with and serve our students better
+ Prompt you to design restorative sequences; you'll also get full
class plans to use right away
+ Experiment with perfect prop placement for every body
+ Build your confidence in leading students of every age and level
of ability
+ Give you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your
newfound restorative yoga teaching skills and prop expertise
