TEACH INSPIRE EMPOWEr
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Helix Alternative Movement
Embark on a life-changing experience as you learn both 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 every area of their life, not just teach in a studio. You will gain a strong foundation in the tradition and techniques of yoga necessary to competently teach at a 200-hour level, but you will also go significantly deeper.
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 from the International Yoga Alliance to teach yoga, and with practical tools to actively balance your life and the lives of others.

We recommend treating virtual material as a "Day Retreat". Try to set aside an entire day to really immerse in that 'yoga bubble'. Wake up, take a virtual yoga class, make some tea or coffee and spend the entire day just on your yoga journey. Take time between the lessons to journal and reflect.
The 200 hour break down
what to expect:
A 200Hour 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 RITUAL: 60 HOURS △
Part of having a transformational practice and empowered teaching career is learning how to live it every single day. During this training we help you create the framework for daily ritual 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 will 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 2 weeks.
▽ LIVE SESSIONS: 48 HOURS △
On alternating weeks, we will host a six hour session on Saturday followed by a two hour follow up session on Wednesday afternoons. During these sessions we will move through our Yoga Teacher Training Curriculum as listed below.
▽ VIRTUAL LESSONS: 48 HOURS △
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 exercises to complete at home.
▽ PRACTICUM: 27 HOURS △
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: 12 HOURS △
Sparking your inner teacher opens up a world of benefits. Teaching empowers us, inspired others and ignites our personal practice. As part of this journey, you will connect deeply to that strong teacher within. Each month, you will teach a total of 4 hours (2 hours per session). You will be recording 30 minutes each month to submit to us. We will review your teaching during our one-on-one coaching sessions.
▽ ONE-ON-ONE COACHING: 6 HOURS △
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.

CURRICULUM
OUR TRAINING CURRICULUM INCLUDES:
The Helix ®200-hour certification course has been carefully curated to provide students with a strong foundation of the physical practice, including alignment, anatomy, adjustments, and modifications. The yoga style is a combination of traditional Hatha and Vinyasa weaved together with the modern science of physiotherapy and mechanics to give students a strong foundation that can be applied to any teaching style. But it also goes much, much deeper. We will explore the many dimensions of the yogic philosophy, history and lifestyle, helping students navigate physically with a cutting edge approach, yet see the world through the eyes of the ancient yogis.
