Southern Soul’s Yoga Alliance Certified

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Imagine a profession where every morning, you wake up with a purpose: to enlighten, uplift, and bring positive change to people's lives without having to be confined to rigid hours or a set location, giving you the liberty to be present for your family's golden moments

The reality?

None of these are prerequisites. What's essential is your passion, your commitment, and your genuine desire to learn and grow.

Step-by-Step Guidance: Our training is designed for individuals at every skill level. From basic postures to complex sequences, we break everything down, ensuring you grasp each concept thoroughly.

Many wait for the "perfect moment" to pursue their dreams, delaying their aspirations until the time feels right. Yet, in reality, that perfect moment often remains elusive. Living in constant apprehension robs us of the present; after all, life is fleeting, and we shouldn't let fear dictate the chapters of our story.

If your aim is to become a certified yoga instructor, or you're simply eager to deepen your yoga knowledge, Southern Soul's 200-Hour Teacher Training is the answer. While our program adheres to the Yoga Alliance guidelines, it goes a step further. We provide more contact hours, enriched hands-on experiences, comprehensive practical teaching, and a heightened focus on both inclusivity and the business aspects of Yoga than most other programs.

After completing our program, you'll be eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher-200 with Yoga Alliance.

It's important to note that yoga's benefits and practices have not been universally accessible, especially to most BIPOC communities.

That's why Southern Soul Yoga proudly offers partial scholarships for BIPOC individuals in our 200-hour teacher training. These scholarships aim to support those with financial constraints who are community service-oriented and aspire to propagate yoga teachings and its profound insights.
