What the 200 Hour Training is Like

Not all teacher trainings are the same. In fact, there’s a huge difference. Here’s what the East+West 200 hour training is like in more detail.

The weekly Breakdown

Our 200 hour training has 3 different “seasons” within the training:

WEEK 1

Foundation & Postures

Week 1 is all about getting grounded in a solid foundation. Learning yoga is like constructing a house, where electricity can flow throughout. Without a strong foundation and structure, the energy or electricity cannot flow through the house properly.

  • Body Alignments

  • Correct Posture

  • Basic Yogic Disciplines & Diet

  • 5 Energetic layers of the body

  • Meditation Basics

  • Practicing the East+West studio sequence

WEEK 2

Integration

In the Week 2 integration portion, you’ll be practicing more dynamic sequencing and focusing on building what you’ve learned into your life.

  • Alignment & adjusting in the pose

  • Sequencing a yoga class

  • Hands on adjustment basics

  • Intentional & conscious living

  • Relationship building & lifestyle integration

WEEK 3

Professional Preparation

In Week 3, you’ll be focused on preparing yourself to teach your first studio class. You’ll be practicing our Studio Sequence each day to build repetitions and your confidence to start teaching it.

  • Designing and teaching your first full yoga class.

  • Professonal habits & qualities of a great yoga teacher

  • Working with injuries and special cases

  • Advanced space holding & environment creation
