Big Bear Yoga’s Teacher Training

Big Bear Yoga’s Teacher Training is for you if you want to teach yoga. It is also for you if you have the desire to deepen your yoga practice and knowledge or learn about the yogic lifestyle.

This training will provide you with the basic knowledge to teach Hatha Yoga, and at the completion of the course you will be certified by Big Bear Yoga, a registered Yoga Alliance 200 hour RYT. You can then apply to join Yoga Alliance, yourself as a 200 hour RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher).
