Yoga Vermont Instructor Certification

Yoga Alliance Registered 



Yoga Vermont offers a rotating enrollment Yoga Teacher Training. Students begin the program when it is convenient for them, attend as often as they can and graduate when their requirements have been met.  For a 200 hour certificate 180 contact hours with Kathy McNames are required.  Some participants are taking years to complete the course and a couple of people, who moved to town specifically for the Instructor Course, finished in 8 weeks using regular scheduled classes as much of their participation time.  It takes 36 Saturdays to complete the 200 hour course if you are on the Saturday tract.  

The cost for the 200 hour certificate is $2,000.

We also offer  500 hour, 1000 hour and 5000 hour certificates.  To inquire please see Kathy in person.

We start our sessions with a short introduction to the topic of the day, chanting, pranayama or a short story.  Asana practice lasts one to two hours and can be anything from vigorous to very gentle.  There is a half hour break to be spent taking care of ourselves (eating, resting, talking to friends, etc.).  The afternoon is spent on topic exploration, learning from each other  and considering comprehensive concepts of Yoga.

Everyone will have the chance to teach, present and lead.  There is a final presentation requirement for completion of the course.  This presentation will be 20 – 30 minutes if it is lecture style, slide show, or video  and a maximum of one hour if the information is presented as a sample class (yoga and art, chair yoga, children’s yoga, prenatal yoga, etc.).

Yoga Vermont is a registered school with Yoga Alliance.

Contact kathy[at]yogavermont.com prior to entering the training.

We meet 10 am to 3 pm with a half hour break for lunch.
