Become the teacher your practice has been shaping.
A rigorous, intimate 200-hour Vinyasa teacher training for committed practitioners ready to study deeply, teach responsibly and develop a voice that feels genuinely their own.
200 hours to deepen, integrate and begin leading.
This is not a quick collection of poses. The program moves from personal practice and philosophical context into anatomy, sequencing, teaching methodology and practicum. Each layer is designed to make the next one more useful.
Study happens inside a small first cohort, allowing space for questions, observed teaching, considered feedback and the steady development of confidence.

Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training
RYS 200 TRAINING PATHWAYA mapped study of 76 core asanas.
The Sun & Sage manual gives every core posture a practical teaching map: Sanskrit (including IAST and Devanagari where relevant), the common English name, step-by-step entry, frequent mistakes, key benefits, limitations and contraindications, and notes for teachers.
The wider manual also includes Sanskrit pronunciation, closing mantras, recommended reading and a code of conduct—so it remains a working reference beyond graduation.
- Clear posture families and sequencing relationships
- Safer teaching boundaries and adaptation prompts
- Useful language for observation and class planning
- Reflection questions that connect knowledge to experience
Nine modules. One integrated teaching practice.
The curriculum below is mapped from the Sun & Sage 200-hour training manual. Exact teaching hours and the final calendar will be confirmed with the January 2027 prospectus.
