Expand Your Yoga Teaching with our 300-hour Yoga Alliance Training.

Being a new yoga teacher can be overwhelming. When hired, you’re faced with a room of individuals with entirely different needs. Instead of teaching your often able-bodied peers in your training, you’re asked to cultivate empathy for folks with diverse abilities, backgrounds, and ages. Even your best intentions can’t prepare you for modifying yoga for all. And if you’re lucky enough to get a private client - how exactly do you personalize the practice for them?

That’s why at Prema Yoga Institute, our 15+ years of leading advanced yoga trainings has taught us to focus on therapeutics, Ayurveda, evidence-informed yoga, and the modalities that get our grads hired at the best studios, gyms, and clinical care facilities. We believe that yoga is for all - and as teachers, it is our job to create accessible communities. 

And since training and working at the same time can be rigorous, each one of our modules include community support and “care for the caregiver” hours to support you in your study as well.

At Prema Yoga Institute, our Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS) offers an RYS 300 hour advanced yoga teacher training certification course to help yoga practitioners and future yoga instructors impart the benefits of yogic mindfulness, calmness, meditation, and spirituality to yoga beginners and aspiring yoga practitioners. 

Students can also earn their 300-hour advanced Yoga Teacher Certification CEs with Yoga Alliance and valuable credit towards a future IAYT Yoga Therapist Certification. By combining Ayurvedic yoga techniques, Prema Yoga Institute ensures its students develop an innate understanding of the benefits of a holistic and spiritual practice that dates back over 5,000 years. We also have specific courses to build upon your learning, such as yoga therapy training for mental health professionals.

What Sets Prema Yoga Institute Apart from Other Training Schools?

At the time of publication, PYI is one of only 67 IAYT-accredited Yoga Therapy Programs in the world.

Most importantly, with our RYS 300-hour yoga therapy and training course, you can simultaneously earn credits for your Yoga Therapy certification—something other RYS schools don’t allow.
