What Makes Our Yoga Teacher Training Special
There are several things that make our program unique.
- We offer several levels of training, ranging from a Level 1 Certificate all the way up to our 300/500 M-AYST Master’s training.
- With our online training programs, you can take your training from anywhere in the world. We also have three training centers to choose from for in-person training in Tempe, AZ, Detroit, MI and Saskatoon, SK.
- We provide personalized mentoring throughout. Your mentor will guide you through the development of your yoga teacher practice, leadership skills, and personal growth. Having a mentor improves your learning and retention, maintains accountability, and provides ongoing support throughout your training experience.
- We keep our class sizes small. Because we provide individual mentoring during training, we limit our class size to 12-15 students. A small cohort helps to develop supportive relationships while ensuring that you get the most out of your training experience.
- We have been training instructors since 2011, and our training model works because we invest in our trainees and make their success our utmost priority.
- You can choose either of our two training tracts: Inspirational or Christ-Centered. If you plan to teach in a studio, gym, fitness center, community center, or school, the Inspirational tract might be the right fit for you. If you are planning to teach yoga at a church or in a faith-based environment, then the Christ-Centered tract might interest you. No matter what your spiritual path, there is a place for you in this training program.
- We are a registered yoga school with the Yoga Alliance. If you complete the 200 Hour YTT, you can able to register with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200.
Our Yoga Teacher Training consists of five courses (modules) in total, each focusing on different elements of yoga teacher development. Each course can be taken independently, or you can take all five to earn a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher certificate in Inspirational or Christ-Centered Yoga. Because we are a Registered Yoga School, this also enables you to register with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200 upon successful completion of the program.

The Story of Camille Smith
Inspiritus yoga teacher training was amazing and I discovered so much not only about yoga, history, mechanics, etc. but also about myself! I grew so much during that period of time and counted our mentoring sessions as a big part of that growth!!
Dawn from Inspiritus taught me by her own example how to love and mentor others in my class and I have taken that precious knowledge with me into my own yoga mentoring. I can’t think of anyone who gives more – her whole heart to the clients she serves!
