Become a trauma-informed, certification-ready yoga instructor. This comprehensive 200-hour hybrid training combines anatomy, philosophy, embodied practice, and somatic awareness to prepare graduates to lead safe, inclusive, and healing-centered classes — with CE credits and Yoga Alliance eligibility included.
Offered in partnership with The American Yoga Academy, the program pairs self-paced online learning with live mentorship, peer connection, and in-person training. It’s led by Kris Silvestry (MA, NCC, LPC, ACS, CCTP, RYT-500), Maria Wachtel (RYT-200), and Krupa Choksi (RYT-200).
The online curriculum, developed by world-renowned yoga educator Claire Diab, builds a full foundation in methodology, philosophy, meditation, breathwork, and anatomy. Students move through 15 self-paced modules with monthly online check-ins that review three modules at a time, plus 22 hours of in-person instruction, practice-teaching, and access to Peace of Mind classes. No prior yoga training is required.
How the training runs
Two cohorts a year. Each moves through an in-person opening weekend, five monthly online check-ins, and an in-person closing weekend — steady rhythm, real community, room for life in between.
Opening weekend
In person. We gather to set the foundation — presence, breath, and the roots of trauma-informed teaching.
Monthly check-ins
Five live online evenings across the months, keeping the cohort connected and the learning integrated.
Closing weekend
In person, across three days. You bring it all together and step into teaching, grounded and ready.
What you’ll learn
A complete, certification-ready foundation — taught through a trauma-informed lens.

Your certification
Graduates receive a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training certification — qualifying you to teach nationally and internationally, and to earn continuing education credits. Whether you want to teach, deepen your own practice, or bring trauma-informed movement into your professional work, you’ll leave with a grounded, comprehensive foundation.
