Samyoga Institute, is committed to providing accessible and affordable Yoga Alliance 200 and 300 hour certified yoga teacher trainings to individuals who have a desire to focus on the therapeutic benefits of yoga and who wish to teach yoga to a specific population. We offer a sanctuary for inner exploration and understanding of as well as tools for balancing for the whole person, body, mind and spirit . Whether you're new to yoga and looking for ways to develop a personal practice, or a yoga teacher looking for professional development opportunities with nationally accredited teachers, Samyoga Institute has just what you're looking for.

This teacher training is offered each year to people living in the Midwest who have a strong desire to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), and who feel, because of family or work responsibilities or financial constraints, they cannot spend the time or money on residential training, or they find they learn better when they have more time to reflect on and integrate the material they are studying, with the support offered from group discussion and a committed mentor.

Samyoga Institute focuses on assisting people in creating a structure for understanding their lives and helping them move through their current set of life lessons with grace and equanimity. It is understood that to assist others, we must first experience ourselves. The program is designed to provide the opportunity for self-inquiry and development so we can authentically offer our gifts to the benefit of all beings.

Samyoga Institute is also about honoring matter and consciousness, sun and moon, and male and female. History informs us that when one or the other predominates, we, as well as our environment, become woefully imbalanced. In honoring individuality, we find our unity.

First Registered August 2005

    The 200 hour program was fantastic with a focus on critical thinking and yoga asanas.

    This program was outstanding! I could not have imagined going anywhere else. I felt prepared to teach and was given knowledge about all aspects of yoga, not just the movement. I felt prepared after getting my certification and am confident I give my students the best instruction possible to keep them safe. I would recommend this program over any other in the Columbus area. The instructors and mentors were not only knowledgable but they were caring, considerate and supportive. Also taking this during the pandemic, Samyoga handled the changes gracefully and ensured we still received the best education!

    I am proud to be a part of the Samyoga community, and value the program's focus on safety, inclusivity, self-reflection, and working with the whole student. I will stay connected with the folks I met there and was mentored by as I continue on my journey!

    I highly recommend this yoga teacher training program. The training is comprehensive. The teachers are quite knowledgeable. The teachers create a safe, welcoming space to learn about yoga and dive deep into the self and the Self. They also create a community among the students which becomes a supportive network of friends.
