Asta Yoga Ashtanga Immersion: 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training
In-Person beginning September 6, 2025 - November 16th
A clear system. A strong practice. A place to make it your own.
At AstaYoga, we’ve spent the last 15 years teaching yoga without the fluff—just strong, smart practice rooted in the Ashtanga method. Our teacher training is built the same way: clear, disciplined, and grounded in reality. You won’t get a script or a spiritual sales pitch. You’ll get the tools to think critically, teach intelligently, and stay true to your own relationship with the practice.
We use the Primary Series of Ashtanga as our foundation—not as dogma, but as a framework for understanding breath, movement, and structure. You’ll learn how to teach vinyasa-based classes that are adaptable, effective, and deeply informed by experience. We cover anatomy, philosophy, history, and more—but always through the lens of lived practice, not abstract ideals.
This training is for people who are serious about the work. For dedicated students who want to understand what they’re doing and why. For longtime practitioners ready to deepen or refine their voice. For thoughtful skeptics who want substance over performance. And yes, for future teachers—if they’re ready to lead with clarity, not cliché.
Our cohorts are small. Our feedback is honest. Our standards are high. You’ll be supported, challenged, and immersed in a community that values humility over hype. You’ll see what real practice looks like—in your own body, and in others.
This isn’t a crash course or a spiritual makeover. It’s a training that holds up under pressure—just like the practice itself. If you’re ready to move with purpose, think hard, and teach something worth teaching, we’d love to have you.

We will meet Saturday and Sunday for two weekends a month over a four month period. Our days will begin with practice at 10am with break from 11:30-12:30. From 12:30pm until 5pm each day, we will convene to explore the practice in depth.
We will provide you with the training manuals, included in the price of tuition. You will need to bring a journal, a yoga mat and additional books which will be recommended prior to the training, but are not required.
Your attendance is critical, and a regular practice of at least three days a week throughout the training is essential. You will keep a daily journal and complete assignments from the training manual. There will be several short quizzes and a written final exam. You will also lead a one-on-one yoga session with a beginner.
The full tuition for the training with a Yoga Alliance certificate is $3,400. Tuition covers your training, your classes leading up to and through the training, and the training manuals. Early bird special is $2,950.
Successful completion of the program will fulfill the requirements for the Yoga Alliance RYT 200 credential.
