About our Yoga Teacher Training Program (YTT)
Yojita Yoga’s next 230-hour Yoga Teacher Training + Spiritual Expansion Program begins November 7th 2026 ✨
We are so excited to explore these ancient teachings with you and grateful to share our teacher training content for Yojita Yoga. Yojita means connected in Sanskrit (amongst other meanings). Our intention is for transformation, self-realization, and connection through self-study and community.
Yojita Yoga Teacher Training Program takes place over 12 months to allow for integration of learning as well as connecting with the cohort.
Our program layers & builds in alignment with myriad complementary yogic philosophies with the intention to offer practitioners with
reverence of ancient teachings + their origins
wonder at the infinite possibilities and creative potential within a strong foundation + stable container
confidence to teach postures, sequences, pranayama & meditation techniques should they choose to teach
OR deepen their personal practice with alignment, self-reflection, ritual, and supportive study within the spiritual expansion track.
We bring 45+ combined years of teaching experience and have much lived experience to share. We can promise passion, kindness, enthusiasm, and deep love of yogic wisdom.
over our year together we will explore these topics and more …
