The Yoga Common

The Yoga Common has been training teachers for more than a decade. We offer a small, intimate 200-Hour program so that you can receive an unparalleled teacher training experience over three months. Our blend of intensive weekend sessions in NYC plus a long weekend retreat in Upstate New York provides exceptional and rich immersion into the deep practice and philosophy of yoga. The Yoga Common's 200-Hour Teacher Training is designed for busy professionals and career changers who want the rigor of a personalized and intensive yoga teacher training program, while maintaining their current work and personal lives. Our graduates call their experience at TYC transformative and inspiring.

Unique to TYC’s teacher training, the program includes a long-weekend retreat in a beautiful upstate setting. The retreat offers teacher trainees the  opportunity to get away from their daily routine and provides dedicated space and time to immerse themselves in the program and community with shared practice, meals, and laughs.

Rooted in deep learning and abundant practice teaching, our program will enrich your understanding of yoga asana, philosophy, ethics, anatomy, meditation, subtle body, pranayama, sequencing, inclusive and accessible teaching approaches, as well as your own personal practice.At The Yoga Common, we don’t just teach you how to teach, we also give you a chance to build a toolkit of self-discovery, allowing you to live your life with a spirit of abundance, both physically and spiritually. We invite you to join us on this powerful journey of self-inquiry and possibility.

You may nurture a desire to teach or want to deepen your practice (or both!) — at whatever point you may be in your yoga journey, you’ll be welcomed into a community that invites study, discovery, and transformation. Our teacher training will support you in honing your personal practice as well as give you the knowledge and tools you need to be a successful yoga instructor.
