In the way that B.K.S Iyengar believed in building the yoga pose around the student, Dragonfly Yoga believes in building the teacher training around the student. By enrolling in Dragonfly’s Yoga Teacher Training, you’ll earn a 200-hour level Yoga certification through a schedule that fits your life.
Why spend two or three times as much money at another yoga studio earning the same certification, while being restricted to long days and set schedules? Our teacher training allows you to enroll at any time and complete the work at your pace.

DRAGONFLY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Our comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is for aspiring yoga teachers or anyone who wants to further their study of yoga. The curriculum is a eclectic mix of styles, but covers the 8-limbs of Yoga. This YTT will prepare you to teach a Hatha yoga class — and send you on your own path of discovery.
The YTT is made up of 12 units; one unit is covered every month in a 3.5 hour class usually held the last weekend of the month. Students may enroll at any time, attend any unit they wish, and pay as they go. To receive certification, you must complete all 12 units. Here is a brief overview of the units:
