You've been practicing for a while now. Maybe years. You know what it feels like when a class lands — when the sequencing makes sense in your body, when the cues click, when you leave the mat feeling more like yourself than when you arrived. And somewhere along the way, a quiet thought has started showing up: What if I could offer that to someone else?

Or maybe it's not about teaching at all. Maybe you're here because your practice has carried you through something hard, and you want to go deeper — into the philosophy, the anatomy, the breath, the lineage. You want to understand why it works, not just that it does.

Either way, you're in the right place.

What Is a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training — and Who Is It Really For?

A 200-hour yoga teacher training is the foundational certification in yoga education, recognized globally through Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). But the best trainings are about so much more than a credential. They're a container — a structured, supported space to go inward, build real skills, and emerge with a practice that's genuinely yours.

Fyra Yoga's 200-Hour Teacher Training is designed for:

  • Aspiring yoga teachers ready to step into a new chapter
  • Dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the practice
  • Curious students drawn to anatomy, breathwork, philosophy, and the why behind the postures
  • Anyone who has felt the pull and keeps putting it off

If you've been wondering whether this is the right step, that question itself might be your answer.

The Fyra Method: Intelligent, Grounded, and Human

Not all 200-hour trainings are the same. What sets Fyra's program apart is the Fyra Method — a distinctive approach to yoga that weaves ancient yogic wisdom with modern, evidence-informed practice.

This is a Level 1 Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga Training. Over ten weeks, you'll move through daily asana, breathwork, and meditation alongside focused study of anatomy, alignment, and the nervous system. The goal isn't to produce cookie-cutter teachers. It's to build practitioners who understand what they're doing, why they're doing it, and how to adapt it skillfully for any room, any body, any moment.

At the heart of the curriculum are Fyra's four pillars — the framework that shapes how every teacher in this community practices, teaches, and lives yoga. These pillars aren't abstract. They're practical, embodied, and woven through every session of the training.

What You'll Actually Learn

Expect to come away with:

  • A grounded daily practice — asana, breathwork, and meditation woven together with intention
  • Anatomy and alignment literacy — how the body moves, where it holds, and how to sequence intelligently and safely
  • An understanding of the nervous system — how yoga supports regulation, resilience, and real-world wellbeing
  • Inclusive cueing and sequencing skills — how to teach classes that meet diverse bodies and lived experiences with skill and care
  • The tools to guide others — not just physically, but with presence, discernment, and genuine connection

This isn't about memorizing scripts. It's about developing the confidence to be in a room with real students and actually help them.

Led By Teachers You Know and Trust

The training is created and led by Fyra Yoga's industry-leading faculty — including Randy Aaron, Lyss Arroyo, Lindsay Janisse, and Frantz G Hall — alongside Fyra Yoga owners Rebecca Foon, Sarah Neufeld, and Guillaume Brun.

These are teachers with deep roots in the practice and genuine care for the people they teach. Mentorship here is not performative. It's the kind that changes how you think about yoga — and yourself.

The Format: Intensive Weekends, Built for Real Life

The training runs September 17 through November 8, 2026, across eight intensive weekends (Thursday–Sunday) in New York City.

Thursdays and Fridays run from 4:00–8:00 pm. Saturdays and Sundays run from 7:00 am–5:00 pm. The weekend format means you can hold down the other parts of your life while still fully immersing yourself in the training. But don't be fooled by the schedule — this is a serious commitment, and it will ask something real of you.

That's the point.

What Happens on the Other Side

Graduates complete the program eligible to register with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). But the more meaningful transformation is harder to name on a résumé.

It's the moment a cue finally clicks. The way your body starts to teach you things your mind hasn't caught up to yet. The relationships you build with the people on the mats beside you. The version of yourself you meet on the other side of ten weeks.

There's something that happens when you commit fully to learning — not just absorbing information, but integrating it, sitting with discomfort, and showing up anyway. That's what this training holds space for.

More than a certification, this is an invitation into deeper presence, self-awareness, and connection — with yourself, your students, and your community.

Scholarship and Accessibility

Fyra Yoga believes this training should be accessible. Scholarship opportunities are available, including options for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and community access applicants. If cost has been a barrier, reach out — there are pathways.
