Is God calling you to teach or deepen your personal practice? We can’t remember a time in seventeen years of Yahweh Yoga that it could be more personally rewarding for you and meaningful to others to have skilled yoga teachers bring peace and health to your community.  We believe we are being called together for times such as these and have a beautiful savings for those who choose to take advantage of this opportunity.

Our trainings are raw and real…peaceful and encouraging.  Your teachers are advanced and highly-skilled.  Our graduates have given our RYT-200 & RYT-500 a 5-Star rating with Yoga Alliance since 2005 for both the Virtual Live Stream and In-Person trainings. 

Yahweh Yoga is known for drawing out the uniqueness that is each trainee so that when you graduate and go out into your community you will do so with a more intimate awareness, trust and confidence in yourself and the Holy Spirit directing you.  Our goal is to grow and help others grow to be more like Jesus every day, which leads to an awesome and healthy life.

Due to the success of our Virtual Live Stream reviews we’re realizing that students love the virtual courses as much as the In-Person. There are many unique benefits for enrollment in our virtual courses. Even though people are a bit weary of Zoom , it appears we are having another Covid winter with airline cancellations, testing, vaccinations, personal contact issues they are not willing to wait to become professional yoga teachers.

Additionally, there are some significant money savings for travel/accommodations/ time away from job and home by taking our Virtual Live Stream Course…plus wearing your most comfortable clothing in the comfort of your own home while training is a plus! Our virtual live stream reviews mention how genuinely connected students felt with fellow-classmates and teachers, which some may think you can only achieve in-person.

God has made it clear to us here at Yahweh Yoga that God wants us to reach more people. Yahweh Yoga exists to train and certify extraordinary professional yoga teachers in a peaceful, encouraging, raw and real environment.  Upon graduation these teachers then go out into their communities all over the country and abroad bringing the love of Jesus, whole health and well-being to those feeling confused, lost and broken…which is pretty much everyone these days… It is through our students/graduates that we fulfil God’s call for us to “reach more people”. 

All ages and fitness levels comprise our student base.  Some only wish to teach Restorative/Yin/Gentle…others Flow & Power.  You will be confident to teach any class you feel comfortable teaching, in any venue. 

We offer payment plans with no interest.

Virtual and In-Person courses are exactly the same, with the same amazing teaching staff.  We can offer virtual a little lower as our costs for delivery are lower and we are passing that on to our students for this promotion.

The Difference between YYT/RYT-200 and YYT/RYT-500:

YYT/RYT-200 is all about you learning what’s needed to deliver a spectacular class that people come back to regularly.  This would include all the basics required by Yoga Alliance to receive RYT-200 Designation and then some.  Our curriculum definitely teaches the History of Yoga and the industry, however it is grounded in Jesus beginning each day with meditation and scripture.  What we hear consistently over our 16-years is that “The training is so much more than yoga.” and that “When I graduated I knew I could teach and had confidence”. 

YYT/RYT-500 is all about advancing your opportunities to teach and serve those in your community by understanding how to deliver yoga modifications to those who suffer from common chronic issues such as Trauma, PTSD,  Seniors, Arthritis, Cancer, Cardiac issues, Incarcerated, Knees/Hips/Shoulders, Veterans with missing limbs.  In my experience at least half of the students in every yoga class suffer from some kind of chronic issue requiring more in-depth learning about how to truly and skillfully help students with their need for modifications.  This also opens many opportunities for high paying employment at…hospitals, senior centers, cancer centers, doctor’s offices, personal care, veteran groups and many other opportunities.  In our humble opinion every serious yoga teacher should take both courses.

Tuition Payments

The most important thing to us is your success.

We have 3 Programs:

  • RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance), this is a Yoga Alliance recognized curriculum and teaches you everything you need to know about how to deliver outstanding yoga classes. Our RYT-200 teacher training teaches students how to optimize their natural health, become a professional yoga teacher and take these gifts to their family, friends and community. Students have the opportunity to learn how to teach Restorative, Gentle, Flow, Power & Hot Yoga. All ages and fitness levels take our teacher trainings. Everyone starts where they are and we grow together from there. Mind, Body, Soul .
  • RYT-500 Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance) This is our advanced course. Students learn from experienced naturopathic doctors with a specialty in yoga therapy. In any yoga class a teacher has a variety of students who are experiencing chronic conditions such as injuries, arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular, trauma, PTSD, MS, Parkinson’s etc. Our RYT-500 Advanced Teacher Training takes each of these conditions and focuses on yoga modifications, eating and the mind, body, soul issues that accompany these chronic issues.

As a Yoga Alliance Licensed, Registered Christian Yoga School our mission at Yahweh Yoga is to equip students with an education that is reflective of God’s Word and delivered with the highest professional standards in the yoga industry. Graduates of our program are equipped with the knowledge and credentials necessary to teach in professional and church settings in a manner that honors the LORD.

Non-teachers interested in simply deepening their practice, learning nutritious and delicious eating and developing intimacy with Christ… this is a profound journey for you too!

Come as you are…all ages and fitness levels are welcome…there’s something for everyone.

Yahweh Yoga welcomes students from all backgrounds and faiths to learn how to incorporate yoga practice and healthy living into their daily lives. Yahweh Yoga teacher credentials are recognized by the yoga industry, Yoga Alliance and the Christian community as a whole for leadership and as the most highly accredited Christian style yoga teacher training available anywhere. Tuition from this course can apply toward next level certifications. Graduates become credentialed yoga teachers with a focus on delivering inspiring classes that you can easily bring into your community.

Do you have to be really experienced at yoga? I’m a beginner but interested in teacher training.
The answer is you can take our teacher training with no yoga experience – because by the time you complete this course, you will likely have more yoga mastery than you ever thought possible. The beauty of yoga as a health practice is that regardless of your age or level, there is a class appropriate for you to teach. If you are extremely athletic, Power Yoga might suit you, or you might prefer to teach Stretch, Relax & Restore, Gentle Journey or Flow classes.

There are no specific prerequisites other than the desire to deepen your own personal journey and to bring God’s peace and good health to all.
