​

More About Our 200ryt Program (Section may be updated.)
Shine's Foundational Yoga Teacher Training Program will qualify teachers to register with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. We are happy to offer the program to help you learn more about the practice of Yoga as well as to teach in a way that empowers, uplifts, and creates an environment for optimal health and well-being for yourself and for all students and practitioners. Our 200-hour foundational teacher training will supply you with inspiration and knowledge-based skills to bolster confidence in sharing the gift of Yoga
Portions of the training may be open to students and current teachers as Immersion Studies and will create an opportunity to dive deeper into many aspects of the yoga practice, including alignment, anatomy, philosophy, yogic lifestyle, and more. Education Credits are available for teachers. With approval, some students may join the course without the intention of teaching after the course. These students are welcomed into our course as Immersion students.
Shine’s Yoga teacher training is unique in that it offers a universal philosophical approach to help you develop your own unique and empowering style of teaching Yoga. There is a strong focus on alignment, anatomy, and body mechanics to support optimal health and well being for all practitioners in both Yoga practice and real-life applications. Highlights of our training include:
Shine Yoga’s 200 Hour Foundational Teacher Training Course focuses on:
-
Introduction to Yogic philosophy from a universal perspective and an overview of variations of Yoga within the large field of modern-day Yoga Practice. This approach gives you a broad base of experience and gives you many avenues to develop a teaching style that is most fulfilling for you and your unique personality.
-
Overview of physical and energetic alignment, anatomy, and healthy bio-mechanics in form and function. Optimal alignment is applied in asana, vinyasa, therapeutic exercise, and in practical applications for everyday healthy living.

Intelligent sequencing and helpful assisting techniques
-
Injury prevention and overview of benefit/risk of posturing and sequencing with modifications for various populations

Introduction to various forms of meditation, breath-work, relaxation, restoration, therapeutic, and devotional practices
-
Inspiration to develop with confidence your unique voice as a teacher for personal empowerment and spiritual fulfillment
-
And lots more!!!
Schedule for our 200 ryt Course
Currently Yoga Alliance requires 180 in-person contact hours. 20 hours can be completed through on-line training. This current schedule includes more hours than are needed to meet our Yoga Alliance requirements. At this time, we will consider this our schedule with the understanding that some of these hours are likely to be cancelled as we won't need all of them to cover our 200 total training hours. For now we'll keep them in case we need group make up hours due to weather or health concerns.
​
It is understandable that students may not be available for every weekend. Accommodations can be made, sometimes with an additional charge, to "make up" missed hours. One or two weekends can be made up fairly easily. More than that will require a big commitment on the side of the student and an additional charge. "Make up" policies are explained below and in the contract which will be presented upon approval to our program.
​
​
*Trainees may have the opportunity to teach our community classes. More details to come + ending celebration TBD.
Notes on "making up" missed time.
The program consists of 16 weekends of core content. The material offered in the core weekends is mandatory for you to receive your RYT and will require make-up work and may require an extra charge if missed. Attempts will be made to keep make-up charges minimal. In general special make-up sessions when necessary are $25 for first hour/ $15 for each subsequent hour in that session. Shine will work with students to make up work in the timeliest and most cost effective way for all! To fulfill Yoga Alliances standards you will be required to complete 180 hours of the core weekends + a minimum of 20 hours of personalized practicum and homework. You will also be required to complete 10 hours of practicum after our final weekend to receive your certificate of completion.
Pricing & Registration
Applicants must complete the teacher training application, be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the core postures and principles of Hatha Yoga, have practiced some form of yoga for at least one year, and meet with a primary teacher before being accepted into this teacher training program. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due on approval to hold your spot in the program.

Rob Dorgan
I took my first yoga class is 1987. It changed my life and gave me a path full of hope.
Yoga has helped to fill in a lot of empty spaces in my life. I am excited to share what I have learned. The biggest influences on my yoga path have been Sianna Sherman, John Friend when we was leading the Anusara Movement, Sally Kempton and Kate Noble.
These exquisite teachers have helped mold my ‘yoga’ into something with deep meaning. I am returning the favor by offering my insights and understandings to those who like myself are seekers of meaning and believe in the power of love.
