200-Hour Teacher Training Curriculum
Our course of study has been designed to provide you with all the tools you'll need to conceptualize, plan and safely teach thoughtfully conceived, exceptionally inspired yoga classes.
+ ASANA
As we delve beneath the surface of the poses, you'll develop a solid understanding of asana form and alignment. You'll also learn to effectively teach asana in real time with essential instructions, cues and hands-on adjustments.
+ SEQUENCING
The secret of a great class often lies in the logic of its sequencing, where one pose unfolds seamlessly into the next and the destination point of the practice is prefigured from the first moment. We'll demystify the art of creating powerful sequences as we uncover its underlying principles.
+ TEMPLATES
As part of the training, you'll receive our Patterns of Practice: ready-to-teach class templates to help you get started and move you toward being able to design your own thoughtfully innovative classes.
+ ANATOMY
A basic understanding of anatomy is essential to developing the most effective teaching strategies. We will carefully analyze each basic pose through the lens of biomechanics, from fascia to bone, studying planes of movement, range of motion and each relevant muscle, tendon and ligament.
+ PHYSIOLOGY
Using "Stretch Physiology" as our starting point, you'll deepen your knowledge of the body's major operating systems, organs and glands, learning how to assemble practices that enhance function and healing. We'll also cover yogic metaphysical anatomy such as chakras, nadis and bandhas.
+ PHILOSOPHY
Our training will include basic Sanskrit terms along with an introduction to one of yoga's most important texts, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a timeless "roadmap" to liberation from suffering. You'll also learn how to weave the sutra's ancient, esoteric wisdom into your asana classes.
+ TEACHING
From projecting your voice to maintaining a supportive learning environment, you'll gain the communication and interpersonal skills that go into making a compelling, compassionate and effective teacher.

Graduate Reviews
“I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the online course was! I was mainly expecting to learn asana and anatomy, but I was so surprised at how enriching the philosophy element was. Thank you so much for a fantastic course! I am thrilled to be starting this new life-long journey!”
“I love the program! I was so grateful to study with amazing teachers and friends. This training gave me a strength, mentally, physically and spiritually. I felt lots of love from Farzy during training. Thank you.”
“Taking the 200 hr YTT at Yoga House was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I’m so glad I took the leap to deepen my own experiences with yoga and learn to share the many gifts of this practice with others. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to explore these new depths, and am profoundly grateful for the beautiful community of teachers and practitioners that have fostered and encouraged such deep growth and transformation for myself and so many others in ways that extend far beyond the yoga mat. We learned and challenged ourselves in ways we never could’ve imagined, and I finished the training feeling so thankful and grounded and full of excitement and wonder at the expansive possibilities of the future. Thanks Yoga House! Looking forward to continuing on this incredible journey with you!”
“Well worth it. I am so glad I found you guys, the whole experience was so worthwhile with a perfect tone. I will be back to take the 300hrs. Highly recommended.”
“Many many thanks to Farzaneh, for this incredible training program. Your knowledge, experience, heart and kindness are what drive this phenomenal program that I have been so fortunate to attend. You are the inspiring face of Yoga. You are developing well-trained teachers. The world is a better place because of you! ”
“The YogaHouse instructor team is of exquisite caliber, with an incredible eye for detail. Quality is never sacrificed for quantity and the instructors have a natural sensitivity to the human condition - yoga and beyond. I greatly value the amount of time and effort put into preparing the content of the teacher training program.”
“Whether you want simply to deepen your own practice or to become a teacher, this is the class for you. Time well spent.”
“Yoga House did an amazing job, but I have to say I’m not surprised...Yoga House always goes above and beyond. I would not want to have learned to teach from anyone or anyplace else in the world. Farzy and everyone at Yoga House is committed to making sure that all the students understood the material and that any questions got answered with so much positive encouragement and kindness. I can’t say enough good things about Yoga House. It’s just something that one must experience first-hand.”
“This is a balanced training that allows the student to stand in their knowing and their practice with an inner understanding of self. A better person emerges from the mat into the world of chaos: a little calmer, more centered and compassionate.”
“I am so grateful that I completed the Yoga House teacher training because it has had a significant effect on my personal practice. Farzaneh’s guidance is transformative for those of us who have been raised with a “power through it” mentality. After nearly 18 years of practice, I am seeing yoga and practicing it with a much more inwardly-focused and graceful focus. Thank you for an amazing experience!”
“The training opened a door for me that I didn’t even know was closed and that I will never be able to shut again.”
“If you’ve waited for years to finally take a Yoga Teacher Training, don’t wait any more. There is a passion for yoga amongst these three main teachers - each unique, each sincere, each with a capacity to fill your soul and mind. I am so grateful I took the leap into Yoga House’s Teacher Training program. Every year I try to travel to exciting lands - like Nepal and Peru to explore a spiritual landscape. This year, I stayed in Pasadena and took the journey within. It will be a pilgrimage I take with me forever.”
“Seriously, your program was well thought out and thorough- the schedule was also workable for those with day-jobs!”
“I am thankful to the Yoga House Teacher Training team of instructors for offering a solid and inspired foundation to students on all aspects of yoga. I am so pleased that I made the commitment of time and resources to develop, strengthen, and nurture my love of yoga.”
“This training is exceptional. Intelligently and thoughtfully developed, it provides an excellent foundation for teaching. I feel well prepared to take what I’ve learned, and share it in my teaching. This program was even more than I had hoped for!”
