200 Hour Teacher Training at Om City Yoga, NYC
October 2, 2026- April 4, 2027
We firmly believe that your yoga practice is far more than the asana you do in class. Having a yoga practice is a way of life that you’ve chosen and it enriches you every day. We will spend the training going deeper into yoga philosophy and history, embodied anatomy for yoga, alignment, sequencing, hands-on adjusting and creating accessible yoga for you and your students.
Additional Areas We’ll Cover
Whether you go on to teach or not, this well rounded Yoga Alliance certified training will give you the tools you need to continue your Yoga journey forever.
There will also be lots of time for practice teaching and discussion.
