One Heart Yoga School

Vinyasa & Yin Yoga
Teacher Training

An 8‑month, 200-hr hybrid training for devoted students ready to deepen their practice, live yoga more fully, and grow into teaching from the heart.

Is this training for you?

This training is for students who feel a tug in their chest when they’re on the mat—who sense that yoga is more than poses and are ready to explore it as a lived, embodied path. You do not have to want to teach right away, but you do need to feel called to deepen.You might be a good fit if you:

  • Have a consistent yoga practice and are ready to go beyond drop‑in classes

  • Feel curious about how to sequence, cue, and hold space for others

  • Are drawn to both strength‑building vinyasa and the quiet medicine of yin

  • Want a training that honors the nervous system and the realities of everyday life

  • Value a trauma‑aware, supportive environment where you can ask questions and be yourself

This training might not be the right fit if you’re seeking a quick certificate or a fitness‑only approach without interest in philosophy, self‑study, or the subtler layers of practice.

What you’ll come away with

By the end of these 200 hours,
you can expect to:

  • Design and teach a safe, grounded 60–75 minute vinyasa or yin class

  • Understand how to sequence intelligently toward a peak pose or energetic theme

  • Offer clear, compassionate verbal cues that support many different bodies

  • Have a functional understanding of anatomy, breath, and the nervous system in practice

  • Feel more confident holding space, reading the room, and responding to what you see

  • Deepen your personal practice, on and off the mat, in ways that feel authentic to you

  • Know your next steps—whether that’s teaching public classes, weaving yoga into your current work, or simply living your practice more fully

8-10 months, one weekend a month

To honor both depth and real life, this training runs over 8 months with one hybrid training weekend each month. We’ll combine online study with immersive in‑person time so you can learn, integrate, and come back ready for the next layer.Each training month includes:

  • Friday (online): 2–3 hours of recorded lessons, readings, and reflection, with occasional live Q&A

  • Saturday (in person): ~8 hours of practice, methodology, sequencing, and discussion

  • Sunday (in person): ~8 hours of practice teaching, labs, integration, and yin

This rhythm gives you time between weekends to absorb the material, complete assignments, and apply what you’re learning in your own practice, while keeping the container steady and focused.
You’ll also have reading, journaling, class observations, and practice‑teaching assignments that count toward your hours and help you grow in real, lived ways.
