Our Yoga Teacher Training program is a comprehensive training program designed to both deepen one's personal understanding and practice of yoga, as well as provide the necessary skills to safely and confidently teach yoga to others.  If you've ever wanted to understand yoga more deeply, or share the gift of yoga in your community, this training is for you.

At Element Yoga and Ayurvedic Wellness we believe yoga is more than a set of asana practiced on a mat.  We believe that yoga is a holistic lifestyle practice designed to create peace and well-being and inspire us to promote peace and compassion in our world.  Our trainees will learn the history and philosophy of yoga, study The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, participate in Karma Yoga service projects and much more. 

In addition to cultivating yoga as a lifestyle our trainees will gain precise understanding of commonly taught and practiced asana, pranayama, and meditation methods, how they effect both the physical body and the subtle body, and be prepared to share these practices with others.

This yoga teacher training is a comprehensive program that consists of over 200 hours of study, practice and teaching, conveniently spread out over the course of 8 months.  Upon graduation from our program trainees will be eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200).

Contact us today for more information and to get started on this journey.

    Element Yoga and Ayurvedic Wellness’s 200 hour teacher training program was exceptional. We covered a good portion of the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, postural alignment and modifications, class sequencing, and touched on so many yoga niches, I was honestly shocked at how much they fit into our 6 month training. The hybrid of in-person and zoom meetings worked really well for me and I felt like the work and project load was well spread out and there was plenty of time to get things done. Carrie and Laura are experienced, patient, kind and open to new perspectives which I truly admire and appreciate. They are true professionals and I felt like this training helped me develop into a well-rounded new teacher. I can’t wait to learn more from them via continued education!

    My Teacher Training at Inner Spring Yoga was a wonderful experience. The information for classes was well presented and easy to understand The teachers did a great job adapting to the Covid Outbreak moving us back and forth between in person and Zoom classes. I felt safe throughout the training because of the extra safety protocols taken by the studio. I would highly recommend Inner Spring Yoga for Teacher Training.

    Inner Spring Yoga's teacher training was a wonderful experience. Greatly respected the teacher's knowledge of yoga, and admired how they were able to adjust the training for us to have the opportunity to move forward in growing ourselves and knowledge while ensuring our safety during this pandemic.

    My training at Inner Spring Yoga was nothing short of transformative in body, mind and spirit. I maintained my personal practice of yoga asana for five years before I decided to commit to ISY’s 200-hour teacher training program. Carrie and Laura lead from a place of love and fostered a community within our group that was a welcoming and safe environment for learning and growing. Their teachings were grounded in ancient yoga philosophy and made applicable to our modern world while honoring yoga’s roots. It was a comprehensive training in yoga asana, anatomy, subtle anatomy, the yoga Sutra of Patanjali, how to teach yoga and start your own business. Over the last eight months, I grew not only as of yogi, but as a person. I am forever grateful for my experience at Inner Spring Yoga.
