TEACHER TRAINING
Our Intro To Yoga Course is the first step for youth to learn about yoga. This series of classes is also the first module in our Teacher Training path, and a bridge of learning from our healing-focused curriculum to a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification.
Accessible lessons teach basics about yoga shapes, breathing exercises for wellness, mindfulness, how to move safely in a yoga class, and more.
Students completing this course will receive a certificate and can apply to enroll in our free 200 hour Youth Yoga Teacher Training and/or apply to be Interns with YEAH! YOGA.
If you would like to offer this course with youth you serve, please contact us at

In 2024, we launched our 200-hour Youth Yoga Teacher Training program specifically designed for youth impacted by the carceral system to become teachers recognized by the Yoga Alliance.
Highlights:
- Modular design - for increased flexibility to accommodate youth in transition and those juggling multiple responsibilities with home and school.
- Healing-focused and trauma-informed - content and learning.
- Career path - provides young people with a career path and employment skills.
