Training Options

Take the 4 weeks of training in 6 day modules over a period of 7-10 months. A limited number of students can take the first week of training in either March, May/June, July or September and the second week of training in the next upcoming Immersion Training. The third and fourth week will meet in the next 2 trainings. This way if you cannot take off 4 consecutive weeks of work, you can still train while maintaining other responsibilities.

Take the 4 sequential courses in a Track of Your Own Choosing. You will still need to take the first week of training first before you can continue with the second week but you can decide in which of the 4 months you will be attending each module.

If you have completed a RYT-200 teacher training, our 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training, starting in April 2015, will help you gain your 500 Hour certificate. This program is structured to involve minimal weekday time. The course meets 6 three day weekends per year over a 20 month period.

Our 3 Week Immersion option n August 2015 and August 2016 is for you if you want to earn the 300 Hour certificate.

The Center for Yoga of Seattle is a Yoga Alliance Registered School.

[Richard's] demonstrations were great. He explained everything to detail — that was my favorite part. And he also noticed our own areas where we needed improvement. I believe everyone was quite surprised about that. [In response to "What did you like about the training?"] First of all, I learned a ...Read More

[What I liked about the Immersion is] the ability to do yoga continuously over a period of 4 weeks and being at a studio solely devoted to Iyengar yoga so that I could take advantage of other classes.
