200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

​

Zen Riot's 200-hour training is a program built for people who want to teach, not just deepen a personal practice. You'll learn to sequence with intention, cue for the body actually in front of you, and understand why a pose works before you're responsible for teaching it to someone else.

The curriculum covers Vinyasa foundations, anatomy and physiology, teaching methodology, yogic philosophy and ethics, and hands-on practicum teaching, all grounded in nervous system science. We're less interested in a class that promises calm than in understanding how regulation actually works in the body, and how to teach it in real time. You'll get direct feedback, real teaching reps in front of real students, and a credential that reflects the work you put in.

​

Upon completion, you're eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200. If you're already certified elsewhere, this training also qualifies for continuing education hours. 

We are currently wrapping up our 2026 200hr cohort.

The Embodied Guide: Yoga 300hr Teacher Training

​

Grounded in trauma-responsive teaching, somatic education, nervous system science, and the timeless wisdom of yoga.

Our 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed for certified teachers who are ready to move beyond learning more poses and begin embodying a more skillful, compassionate, and transformative way of teaching.

Built as a modular learning journey, this program allows you to deepen your education over time while honoring the realities of life, work, and practice. Complete the foundational modules first, then choose elective pathways that align with your unique interests and the teacher you are becoming. Each module stands on its own while weaving into a cohesive and deeply integrated whole.

Throughout the program, you'll explore yoga as both a personal practice and a way of serving others through the lens of nervous system awareness, trauma-responsible teaching, somatic inquiry, breathwork, restorative practices, philosophy, and embodied leadership.

Rather than simply accumulating techniques, you'll develop the discernment to understand why a practice is appropriate, when it serves the person in front of you, and how to facilitate experiences with integrity, presence, and care.

Together, we explore the biological, psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions of being human, recognizing that healing and transformation rarely happen in isolation. Through movement, stillness, breath, reflection, conversation, and experiential learning, we cultivate the capacity to remain present with ourselves, our students, and the complexity of real life.

This training also asks a deeper question: What does it truly mean to embody yoga?

Beyond the mat, we examine how we navigate uncertainty, conflict, joy, grief, relationship, community, and the natural world. We learn that embodiment is not perfection, but the ongoing practice of returning to ourselves with honesty, humility, curiosity, and courage.

Whether you complete one module or continue through the full 300-hour certification, each experience offers meaningful education that can immediately enrich your teaching and your life. Together, these modules become a comprehensive path toward becoming a more grounded practitioner, a more intuitive teacher, and a more embodied human being.

Prerequisite for 300Hr Certification: Active RYT-200 (ours or another Yoga Alliance school).

Some Modules can be taken individually, without the 300 hour coursework, and have different or no prerequisite.
