200 - 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
at Helix Alternative Movement
Beginning Spring

Embark on a life-changing experience into the ancient traditions of authentic yoga as well as cutting-edge, modern evolutions of practice from true masters of their craft. We have completely rethought the traditional teacher training experience for those looking to apply the principles of yoga to transformational teaching.

We thoughtfully crafted this training to empower not just yoga teachers, but yoga leaders. A yoga leader is someone who forges such profound wholeness, happiness and magic within themselves that it naturally radiates out to others. You’ll leave this course with a certification to teach yoga at the 200 or 500 level, and with practical tools to actively balance your life and the lives of others.

This is a hybrid modular training, which means it is a combination of virtual and in-person lessons spread out through four modules/ chapters:
Anatomy & Physiology,
Yoga Techniques & Practice,
Teaching Methodology & Community Architecture,
History & Philosophy

virtual hybrid training

The 200/300 hour break down

what to expect:

A teacher training commitment is a life-changing journey that will offer you a world of benefits. But it is exactly that, a commitment. Here is a deeper look at our session formats. This will help you get an idea of what your journey might look like. 
▽ GUIDED DAILY RITUALS:
Part of having a transformational practice and empowered teaching career is learning how to live it every day. During this training we create the framework for daily rituals of practice, meditation and self exploration. Each day, you will log into your virtual teacher training portal and complete the Daily Ritual. Each Daily Ritual can consist of a chakra tuning, short vinyasa practice of sun salutations, guided meditation and a brief journaling or constructive daydreaming exercise. These Daily Rituals will change every week.

▽ LIVE SESSIONS/ IMMERSION DAYS:
For each Modular Chapter, we will have our In-Person Immersion Days. These will be scheduled throughout the course of the year.  You do not need to have completed the virtual coursework prior to our Immersion Days.

▽ VIRTUAL LESSONS:
Our virtual lessons will fill the space between our Live Sessions and keep you connected to your yoga journey. They will continue to move us through our curriculum and will include videos, reading and journaling exercises to complete at home.

▽ PRACTICUM:
Practicum is your physical yoga practice. You will attend six classes per month either in-person, live streaming, or recorded. Three of those must be with one of your lead instructors.

▽ TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS:
Sparking your inner teacher opens up a world of benefits. Teaching empowers us, inspires others and ignites our personal practice. As part of this journey, you will connect deeply to that strong teacher within. 

▽ WORKSHOP & MASTERCLASS METHODOLOGY: (300 Hour Trainees Only)
Students connect with teachers who have clarity and a passion for what they are teaching and workshops and masterclasses are the best conduits for truly transformational experiences. Putting together a workshop or masterclass allows your passion to shine as you explore advanced methods for teaching what you love while helping to shift the lives of others. Workshop and Masterclass Methodology will teach you how to craft the highest caliber courses and elevate your unique teachings.

▽ ONE-ON-ONE COACHING:
Yoga was traditionally taught by one teacher directly to one student. The great ancient teachers understood the importance of individualizing each yoga experience to meet the needs of the individual student. Our one-on-one coaching sessions are truly an investment for your personal growth as both a student and transformational teacher. They are one of the greatest ways to start your yoga teaching practice in a more solid footing. We will assess your personal goals, dreams and mentality and formulate the unique path to get you there.
