Nope. You do not need to be advanced, flexible, or able to do complex postures to enroll.

We recommend that students have at least 3-6 months of practice before beginning training. What matters most is commitment, curiosity, and a sincere desire to grow.

This training is designed to meet you where you are while steadily expanding your confidence, skill, and understanding of yoga beyond the physical postures.

Yes. Mineral City Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, and graduates are eligible to register as a RYT-200 upon successful completion.

Our curriculum meets and exceeds Yoga Alliance standards while also preserving the depth and integrity of traditional yoga teachings.

Yes.

By the end of the program you will have:

• Led multiple supervised practice classes

• Received personalized feedback

• Built at least 4 complete class sequences

• Practiced cueing, adjustments, and class structuring

• Developed your authentic teaching voice

Our goal is not simply certification, but confidence. You will graduate knowing how to safely and skillfully guide a class.

Many students enroll to deepen their personal practice rather than pursue a teaching career. This training will transform your understanding of:

• Asana

• Breathwork

• Meditation

• Yoga philosophy

• Anatomy and biomechanics

• Subtle body theory

Whether you teach or not, you will gain a lifelong framework for practice and self-study.

Our 200-hour training includes:

• Asana alignment and intelligent sequencing

• Functional anatomy and biomechanics

• Pranayama and breath science

• Meditation methodology

• Yoga philosophy (Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, foundational texts)

• Teaching methodology and professional development

• Ethics and scope of practice

• The subtle body and energetic systems

Training format is every other weekend (see dates section of the YTT page)

Students should expect approximately 1-3 hours per week outside of scheduled training for:

• Taking classes

• Reading assignments

• Practice teaching

• Personal practice

• Reflection and journaling

Consistent engagement between sessions is essential for integration.

Graduation requires:

• Attendance of 14/16 of training Days (with private makeups for days missed)

• Completion of reading assignments

• Successful practicum teaching demonstration

• Participation in peer teaching labs

• Passing Written test (mostly multiple choice)

Our evaluation process is supportive, not intimidating. The intention is to develop skill and clarity, not perfection.

Mineral City Yoga’s training emphasizes:

• Depth over trend (We teach for the Lineage of Sri Vidya Tantra)

• Mentorship over mass enrollment (intimate class sizes)

• Traditional asana taught with knowledge of modern biomechanics

• A singular philosophical focus (Yoga Sutras)

• Direct feedback from senior teachers

Our groups are intentionally limited to ensure personal attention and meaningful connection.

You are not just earning a certificate. You are joining a lineage of teachers.

The full tuition for the 200-hour program is $3499.

Early enrollment tuition is $3249 (if applicable).

A deposit of $1500 is required to reserve your spot.

Payment plans are available, and we are happy to work with you to create a manageable structure. We make it a point not to let financial challenges limit our students ability to make progress in their journey

Graduates are invited to:

• Attend select sessions of future 200-hour trainings

We believe teacher training is the beginning of a relationship, not the end.
