Utah Yoga Teacher Training
We call this training "300-Hour Yoga Teacher Transformation” for good reason
It describes how our students experience life during this training and find themselves able to think and act beyond their existing views of yoga.
Our hope is that you transcend your current yoga practice and teaching skills and begin to view yourself as a Yoga Leader. Someone who is out to make a positive impact on their family, workplace and community.
If you have received your 200-hour certification through Yoga Assets or another Yoga Alliance-compliant school, our course will prepare you to take your existing knowledge and skills to the next level. Upon completion, you will qualify for the 500-hour RYT designation with Yoga Alliance.
