Yoga Teacher Training
The Sol Center Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program is perfect for those wanting a deep enrichment of their personal practice, as well as those seeking certified teacher training and professional development.
In addition to the physical and mental health benefits of yoga, our program emphasizes the classical understanding of Yoga as an experiential path towards one’s deepest ground of being.
Techniques are explored from the perspective of form, function, and essence. The studies, practices, and measured pace are designed to help you integrate what you learn and build your vitality and capacity in daily life. The practicums and community support you to link your personal experience to others.
Our approach weaves physical and subtle, practical and philosophical, ancient and modern, and sets the foundation for living and teaching your own unique expression of hatha yoga.
We are an accredited and Registered Yoga School (RYS) with the Yoga Alliance.
The essence of our yoga practice is to
reawaken the remembrance of our source …Rama

We see Yoga training as a personal process that is first and foremost for your own growth and enhancement. In order to fulfill the 200-hour Yoga Alliance requirements at a measured pace, our program spans seven months.
We choose to prioritize in-person transmission of our course work. While there will be some live-stream teaching and content available virtually, your direct experience in the classroom is central to the training process.
Nine weekend immersions, a Fall and Winter weekly course, specific practice and study assignments, and regular portfolio check-ins help you integrate your learning, balance your personal practice, and develop your voice all along the way.

Yoga Teacher Training Frequently Asked Questions
- I am interested in being certified as a yoga teacher but already know I will miss a weekend or day? Or, what if I do miss for an unforeseen circumstance?
-
The number of hours of contact is part of the national standard we are upholding. There are some extra hours built in to accommodate this. Depending on the circumstance, you may need to arrange for additional contact hours and there may be a small extra fee to compensate the trainers time.
- I am interested in doing the Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Program for personal enrichment, but will not be able to attend all weekends?
- If you are not interested in the certification component, it is not as essential that you are all class meetings The material we are covering does build from month to month so you will want to review the recordings of the material covered, and discuss with the director and classmates what you missed and where you are.
- I only want to do the program for personal development; will the teacher training portions be relevant to me?
- Being a trainee rather than just a student is a shift of perspective. Practicing facilitation rather than just being facilitated is an interesting challenge. We will ask you to participate in all this as a way to deepen your own understanding of yoga and explore the development of your voice in general. You may indeed never teach, but the process will expand your own growth and perhaps surprise you down the road with how you are sharing the benefit of your yoga training.
