Yoga Teacher Training
Red Stone Yoga offers two methods to obtain professional certification as a yoga instructor. These ‘pathways’ can also be an excellent way for you to significantly develop your personal practice, even if you have no desire to teach.
As a registered Yoga Alliance® school, both pathways fulfill the requirements to obtain the 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification in Power Vinyasa Yoga. Upon successful completion of each course, graduates receive a certificate of graduation, recognized by the Yoga Alliance as meeting the standards for the appropriate certification.
Our first pathway is three separate modules of 60 contact hours each, with the remaining 20 hours completed as homework. This pathway is designed for those who want to obtain their training, progressively, over a period of time. Module I is the foundational course for new instructors. It provides everything a novice yoga instructor needs to begin teaching yoga with skill and confidence. Experienced teachers will gain new knowledge and insight on how to share their yogic wisdom in an enhanced and integrated manner.
Modules II and III build on the lessons of the first, creating a complete training experience.
The second pathway, a 26-day Teacher Training Intensive, provides a complete Yoga Alliance certification in a condensed format.
Teaching Philosophy
The Red Stone Yoga teaching philosophy incorporates a disciplined, hands-on application of the ancient yogic teachings, with the information and guidance to develop the spirit of one’s own voice.
