2023 200-HR RYT TRAINING
WE WILL BE HIRING YOGA TEACHERS THIS YEAR
Want to be a part of the fastest growing yoga and fitness business in East Tennessee? Are you interested in becoming a 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher? VYF’s 2023 Yoga Teacher Training will be offered in Kingsport and Johnson City, TN; dates TBD.
VIDYA IS A REGISTERED YOGA SCHOOL WITH YOGA ALLIANCE
Yoga Alliance standards require that all yoga teacher training programs provide information on the history and philosophy of yoga. However, many graduates of yoga teacher training programs lack the necessary skills to cue and sequence a yoga class. Mastery of yoga sequencing and cuing as well as an in-depth knowledge of yoga history and philosophy are essential components to yoga teacher training at VYF.

VIDYA’s Teacher Training program focuses on Vinyasa Yoga and personal development.
Graduates of VIDA’s Teacher Training program will gain a broad knowledge of the foundational principles of yoga philosophy and asana.
An in-depth examination of the art and science of yoga will provide graduates the ability to intelligently share yoga with others while also gaining a deeper understanding of self.
In addition to learning the art and science of yoga, graduates of VIDYA’s RYT program will understand and demonstrate the “how and why” of yoga asana cuing and sequencing that comes from VIDYA’s extensive teachings on alignment, anatomy, yoga philosophy, and tradition.
Truly understanding the “how and why” of yoga is imperative for establishing expert yoga teachers that are able to share yoga with others in a logical way.
As an additional benefit, the teacher trainers at VIDYA understand that not all teacher trainees learn the same way or master teaching concepts at the same rate. For this reason, VIDA has implemented a mentorship program for recent graduates who wish to fine-tune teaching skills under the direction of an experienced RYT at VIDYA. The mentorship program helps establish confidence for new graduates to gain experience as yoga teachers in a supportive, collaborative environment.
