2026-2027 Yoga Teacher Training Program

Rochester, are you ready to dive in? Into your studentship, your practice, and the possibility of sharing it all with others?

This year, we’re offering something different - a chance to participate in a Yoga Alliance approved program with options for either 200-hour OR 300-hour certification!

What You’ll Experience:

  • Applied Philosophy Discussions: Dive into the rich history and philosophy of Yoga, exploring its teachings and how they can be applied in modern life.

  • Comprehensive Anatomy Lessons: Gain a deeper understanding of the human body and learn how to apply that understanding to your practice and your teaching.

  • In-Depth Asana Exploration: Break down foundational poses and advanced variations, while refining your proprioception.

  • Sanskrit and Mantra Studies: Discover the power of language, sound, and vibration in Yoga, and learn to share these sacred teachings with confidence.

  • Practical Teaching Skills: Develop your own unique voice, create engaging sequences using effective cues, and learn the art of holding space for diverse communities.

  • And So Much More!

Whether you aspire to become a certified yoga teacher, already hold a certification, or simply want to immerse yourself in Yoga’s transformative practices, Tru’s Teacher Training Program is designed to meet you where you are and guide you through this season of your Yoga journey. 

RYT-200s will have the opportunity to stay with us for an additional 100 hours and earn their 300-hour certification.

Space is limited to 15 total students to keep your cohort intimate, and to ensure each student receives individualized care and attention from our instructors. (The 300-hr cohort is limited to four students.) This smaller setting encourages collaboration, open dialogue, and a sense of shared purpose.

We had an overwhelming amount of interest in our program last year! Because of this, we are only accepting applicants until May 1st. Click here to fill out our interest form - we will be in touch by May 15th to invite you to the program.
