program overview

OFSY's 200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training is designed for both serious yoga practitioners interested in deepening their practice, and aspiring teachers who want to live and teach authentically with a tool-kit to approach teaching with confidence.

With a strong focus on anatomy and embodied alignment, our program provides students with room for creative exploration and self discovery. Our mission is to guide students on an adventure deeper into their own practice, while providing teaching tools and experience to develop and tap into their unique voice as a teacher. In a nourishing and intimate environment, this training will encourage students to discover their own path and empower others.

OFSY's 200-Hour Teacher Trainings are led by a team of two Lead Teachers from our Core Training Faculty with the support of a stellar group of guest teachers who are all experts in their respective fields. Drawing from their strong backgrounds in diverse styles of Hatha Yoga, our trainers teach a fusion of styles and movement techniques that continue to pave the way in the evolution of Western Yoga

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be certified as 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teachers and are eligible for Yoga Alliance RYT-200 registration.
