About Our Program
The Yoga East Healing Arts 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program blends the ancient philosophy of yoga science with the art of teacahing yoga as a contemporary transformational practice of self care and health and wellness.​ This program explores Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, and Restorative Yoga.
Our program is approved by Yoga Alliance and meets their standards for certification. However, teacher certification is no longer the only option in our program. We now offer the "Deeper" track to those who wish to deepen their practice and understanding of the yoga tradition without the requirements aligned with becoming a teacher.
