2026 Clear Light at The Yoga Space — 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training

June 26th - October 4th, 2026

This foundational training is ideal for serious students of yoga wishing to profoundly deepen their practice and aspiring teachers alike.  Upon completion of this course you will meet the requirements for Yoga Alliance 200 hr. Certification. 

We will share 8 weekends together devoted to developing our personal yoga practice as well as learning to share yoga with others.

Whether you want to teach yoga skillfully or simply deepen your practice, this course is greatly transformational .

Our program is rooted in the lineage of Krishnamacharya, blending the Vinyasa flow, internal form, and intelligent progression found in the Ashtanga system, the precise alignment instructions and supported poses of the Iyengar system, and the modifications to the individual that Desikachar emphasized.

We will focus on intelligently sequencing a flow based class, practicing with alignment to protect your body and open your subtle body, and learning philosophy to deepen our yoga journey
