Expand your knowledge, find community, follow your practice: become a yoga teacher!

Hello Yogi!

Thank you for your interest in Yoga Teacher Training at Left Coast Power Yoga. Our 2024 cohort is closed, but we are currently accepting applications for our 2025 program, beginning January 17th, 2025.

This training has 4 components:

1. “Every Other Weekend” Format at our Laurel Studio:

Jan 17th - 18th

Feb 1st - 2nd

Feb 15th - 16th

March 1st - 2nd

March 15th - 16th

March 29th - 30th

April 12th - 13th

April 26th - 27th

May 10th - 11th 

Weekend Times: Saturday + Sunday 12:00 - 7:00pm (meal break 3-4pm)

Attendance requirements (important) You may miss two full days without penalty. If you miss more than that, you must make up additional time in a private session at the rate of one hour for every 3 hours missed. The rate for a private session is $100/hour.  There is no splitting or sharing of private sessions.Therefore, if between Jan 17th and May 11th you have a lot or travel planned on our Training Weekends, this is NOT the appropriate time to take YTT.

2. We will also meet EVERY THURSDAY from 6:30 - 7:45pm at our Grand Ave studio. You may miss two of these with no penalty.

There are 9 weekends of 14 hours each (126 hours) plus 20 hours of Thursday night meetings for a total of 146 contact hours. If you miss more than 20 contact hours, you cannot make up the hours, and we cannot give you a teaching certificate, even if you have paid for your training. 

3. Each student is required to fulfill a weekly 2 hour Yoga Intern shift at one of our studios. This can include checking-in classes, assisting a teacher, and other help around the studio to give back to the general yogi community. We recommend doing your weekly shift around a class you regularly attend, and supporting a teacher you would like to mentor with. You will be signed in and out by staff to make sure this requirement is fulfilled.

4. Each student is required to attend two Left Coast Power Yoga classes per week, minimum during the period of training (approximately 45 hours of classes). You will be granted an Unlimited Membership during the time of the training. This requirement is self-paced.

5. Homework: There will be short written homework assignments after some our sessions, totaling about 1/2 hour each week, for a total of around 10 hours of homework.
