Teacher Training

The 200HR Yoga Movement Teacher Training — or YMTT200 as we call it — is a semi-intensive program designed to shape confident, well-rounded yoga teachers. By the end of the course, graduates will be ready to step onto the mat and lead classes that meet Yoga Movement’s high standards.

Covering all the traditional foundations of teacher training, YMTT200 goes beyond the basics with additional modules and hands-on activities that equip you with the soft skills and practical know-how needed to teach safe, multi-level classes across a variety of styles.

Throughout the program, you’ll dive into curated course materials, build strong theoretical knowledge, and jump straight into practice teaching. You’ll also be encouraged to clock in YM classes in your own time, so that your learning is grounded in real, lived practice.

Make no mistake — it’s hard work. But the radder side of YM Life is woven in too: complimentary classes, exclusive YM materials, and professional yoga shots all come as part of the experience.

YMTT200 is also an internationally recognised Yoga Teacher Training certification, accredited by Yoga Alliance. This means the hours you clock during the program contribute to your overall Yoga Alliance teaching experience, and your certification is recognised worldwide.

The 10-Week Yoga Movement Teacher Training (YMTT200) is a part-time programme designed to fit into your schedule while still offering a comprehensive path to becoming a confident teacher. Training takes place across nine weekends (with one scheduled weekend break), allowing you to immerse deeply while balancing work, family, or personal commitments.

Each weekend builds progressively, blending practice, theory, and teaching application. Morning sessions focus on guided practice and exploration of key concepts, while afternoons are dedicated to posture labs, sequencing, cueing, and practice teaching.

Programme Overview:

• Weekend 1 | Owning the Room & Roots of Yoga: Develop your presence, voice, and unique teaching qualities, while exploring yoga’s philosophy, 8 Limbs, and Sanskrit in a modern context.
• Weekend 2 | Functional Anatomy I & Posture Lab I: Learn the foundations of movement, anatomy, and safe alignment in essential postures.
• Weekend 3 | Applied Anatomy II & Cues & Demos 1: Deepen your understanding of muscles in motion and discover how intentional cueing and demos bring clarity to your classes.
• Weekend 4 | Posture Lab II & Cues & Demos 2: Refine your alignment eye and practice delivering precise, inclusive cues for more complex poses and transitions.
• Weekend 5 | Sequencing Foundations & Thematic Sequencing: Discover how to design meaningful flows, from basics to peak pose sequencing, threading intention and creativity throughout.
• Weekend 6 | Inclusive Teaching I & Flow-Based Sequencing: Learn how to adapt classes for common conditions and injuries, then explore dynamic, breath-led sequencing.
• Weekend 7 | Hands-On Intelligence & Mindfulness in Teaching: Develop safe, supportive assists and explore mindfulness practices to bring calm, focus, and presence into your teaching.
• Weekend 8 | Inclusive Teaching II & Professional Essentials: Expand your teaching toolkit for prenatal and special populations, while gaining insight into branding, service, and the business of yoga.
• Weekend 9 | Practical Exam & Graduation: Apply everything you’ve learned in your final practicum, followed by a graduation ceremony to celebrate your achievement.

The 10-week format is designed for those who want to integrate training into their weekly rhythm, giving space to absorb, reflect, and apply learning between weekends.

YMTT200 is led by a team of YM teachers who have been carefully chosen for their experience and expertise in the areas they teach. Just like any other profession, our teachers each bring their own specialisations to the table — from anatomy and alignment to philosophy and sequencing. This variety not only ensures that you’re learning from true subject-matter experts, but also keeps the program dynamic, engaging, and well-rounded.

We guarantee that YMTT200 graduates will meet the same quality service and teaching standards as our YM teachers. That means you’ll need to put in the work for that shiny certificate at the end of the program — and yes, it is possible to fail. But don’t stress: with full commitment, dedication, and a willingness to learn, we have every confidence that you can graduate YMTT200-certified.

Teacher trainees will be assessed on attendance and punctuality, participation in group work, as well as performance in both theory and practical exams.

There are no prerequisites, however, being familiar with our YM class types will be helpful! Having an open mind and full dedication to the course is essential.

All our teacher training programmes are currently held at our Circular Road Outlet in Singapore. 

Address: Lorong Telok 1A, #2A, Singapore 049014

100% attendance is required to pass and receive your certificate. Module retakes will be charged and will only be approved on a case by case basis.
