You're probably searching other teacher training yoga programs right now, which is great! Here's what makes our program so different:
Integrity
'Ohana's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program is Yoga Alliance Certified, distinguished, highly intentional, and led by two women who whole-heartedly believe in the lifetime practice. We are not here just to talk the talk, but to also walk the walk.
Inspiration
There is a creative spark inside each of us, waiting to be inspired. This yoga teacher training program is designed to stir what inspires you uniquely. As the program illuminates the many doors of the yoga practice, you will get to know what interests you most. Through this self-exploration, you are able to step closer to your purpose and what gives you meaning.
Leadership
Leadership is so much more than standing in front of others and sharing your vision. Leadership is the embodiment of energy through example. We believe yoga is more than just a physical practice, but a conscious lifestyle that allows you to access your deeper layers of awareness through the direct experience of doing it and feeling it — every. single. day.
We’ve planned incredible industry collaborations that give us goosebumps just to think about. the leads who are a part of this program are incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and exemplary in living out their passion.
Past Guest Teachers
Our trainings value collaboration. We will never operate as though we have all of the answers. In fact, we embrace our status as forever-students. Because of that, we believe it is integral to incorporate other voices, teachers, and perspectives.

What People Are Saying About Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
"My YTT experience at Ohana informed me so much more than my yoga practice. It helped me continue to point my trajectory towards a more intentional and personalized lifestyle and career path. I've made deep connections that have lasted for years and found a wonderful sense of community with the other teachers I trained with. If you are considering the program - go for it. It will be one of the best investments in yourself that you could make."
- Kelly B.
"Ohana means home and the moment you walk into the studio- you feel at home. Alyssa and team have created a studio with amazing yoga and barre classes- fabulous instructors and an environment that is welcoming. I completed the 200-hour yoga teaching training last year- and the experience was transformative. Ohana is one of the finest studios in the country."
- Colette T.
Frequently Asked Questions
While this training is completely accessible for anyone with active curiosity, those who have personal experiences with the practice of yoga (meditation and/or a physical practice) will have a stable foundation from which to learn. We encourage you to dive into any conscious content (blogs, social media accounts curated with intentionality, books, online yoga classes, etc) before training begins to create an open heart and open mind.
No, you do not. You can complete the on-demand curriculum on your own time. We have had students complete their requirements on the last day of training, and some students finish within one calendar year of training. Just keep in mind that your motivation to complete the requirements will be highest right now with the support of your fellow trainees and regular sessions.

Second choice would be to simply teach yourself (ie. you're teaching out loud and moving at the same time). You will learn more by having an actual student present.

A unique aspect of Ohana's Yoga Teacher Training Program is that many of your modules are on-demand. This means that you can watch them when and where you want. Each module will belong to the week's theme, and all modules will build on top of each other. You can watch these modules on your own time, but we recommend keeping up with them and watching them with a linear approach.
We will read two books throughout this program. The assigned reading for this program is distributed throughout each week through Google Classroom. To determine which reading you need to do, simply refer to the week's assignments, where you'll find the reading clearly assigned and broken down into pages, chapters, etc.
On Google Classroom, you will see a list of assignments. When you turn your homework in is completely up to you. That being said, we recommend keeping up with the homework to the best of your ability.
To complete this program, you will be required to pass two tests: a final teach test, and a final written test.
The written test is meant to encompass all of the subjects covered in this training, which includes: yoga philosophy, anatomy, chakras, postures. For a complete list of what you may expect on the final written test, please refer to the Study Guide in your manual. Please note that you will need to study the manual content in order to do well on the final written test.
The Google Test will give you inaccurate test results due to the nature of grading by case sensitivity — please wait for your program leader to notify you of your final test results.
We do not close the Google Classroom after your training, so you can access it whenever you'd like.
Yes! Your Ohana leaders are available to schedule individual time to connect to help support the journey and your yoga training experience.
