To All Aspiring Yoga Teachers

This is the only 200 Hour Online YTT for those who don't just do yoga, but who are yoga.

If yoga pulses through your veins.

If it is your passion, your purpose, your path.

If there’s no dividing line where yoga “ends” and the rest of your life “begins."

If you see yoga in everything, and everything in yoga...

Then this course was made for You.

But if you see yoga as just an empty job—the place you go to clock in and clock out—this isn’t your place.

There are hundreds of courses for that. This isn’t one of them.

We are the true believers in yoga’s limitless power. The ones who question, who explore, who do the work.

The ones guided by a deeper calling—and courageous enough to stand up, stand out, and answer that call.

Because in the era of corporate yoga studio monopolies and watered-down teaching, we believe the world needs more impactful yoga. And better educated teachers.

Because we want life-changing yoga classes, no matter what city or town we happen to be in. And we know you do, too.

So our lead trainer Jess made this course to give you everything she knows about yoga - which is huge.

This training is the very best of her 10,000 hours of in-depth yoga studies.

She gives you the deepest wisdom on yoga from the mystics of India as well as the best North American movement scientists and anatomists.

You will learn the best of the best in both the physical and the intellectual/philosophical sides of yoga in this course.

The most mind-blowing parts of yoga, compressed into a single 200 hour YTT.

Upon graduation, you'll instantly be the most versatile, knowledgeable and inspiring teacher in your community, guaranteed. (Yes, even in this online format.)

You'll revolutionize your personal practice and become the next evolution of You.

But please know this:

This YTT is not the path of least resistance. It is not superficial. It's not for anyone looking for a yoga teaching "hack".

On the contrary, this program will challenge what you think you know - about yoga, about yourself, your body, and your world.

You'll explore the heart, soul and science of yoga beyond what most yogis learn in even advanced yoga teacher trainings.

Some students shed their skin along the way. Actually, most students do.

You can’t unlearn what we teach you. And when you're done, you won’t fit into the cardboard cutout of an "ordinary," cookie-cutter, easily replaceable yoga teacher. (You're welcome.)

We only want you if this depth is what you're after. You know who you are. And we can’t wait to meet you. 🔥

With love,

❲ Why choose this Course ❳

10,000 hrs of yoga education packed into a single 200 hour YTT

Why This Course Exists

In order to become a household name in the yoga industry, our lead trainer Jess Rose had to invest 10,000 hours and almost $50,000 in her studies. She studied yoga in anatomy classrooms from North America to Europe. She immersed herself in yoga's spiritual and energetic practices in ashrams and gurukuls across India and Sri Lanka. She completed 8 YTTs, 23 specialty workshops, and read her way through 100s of books and research articles on yoga. Becoming an excellent yoga teacher shouldn't be this difficult. And the world needs more yoga teachers who really know their stuff. That's why Jess created this course.

What Makes This YTT Stand Out

Movement × Wisdom

Although many YTTs appear to teach similar subjects, most YTT teachers only understand (or care about) either the physical or the spiritual side of yoga. But the power of yoga is in the intersection of the two. That's why this training puts equal emphasis on exploring the Movement and the Wisdom of yoga. You will learn how to make them "dance" in perfect harmony.

4 Styles of Yoga

Most trainings only include one style of yoga. (They may "introduce" multiple. But that’s not the same as learning to teach them.) But excellent yoga teachers can offer their students the right practice for any mood or occasion. That's why in this course you will learn to practice and teach both fast / strong and slow / gentle practices.

Cutting-Edge Alignment

Most YTT trainers think yoga poses are one-size-fits-all, because that's what they were taught. In reality, every student in your class will have different bone structure, body proportions, and abilities. You can't give everyone the same cues - that doesn't cut it. This YTT is based on the latest research on yoga anatomy and movement science. It's for those who want to be cutting-edge, rather than outdated, yoga teachers.

Yoga Life Coaching

The wisdom of yoga is timeless and transformational. But for most yoga teachers in the West, yoga philosophy is an afterthought. Not in this training. You'll get an authentic understanding of the key concepts of yoga, begin to look at the world through the eyes of a yogi, and learn to sprinkle yogic wisdom into your classes to make them exceptional. This is life coaching, yoga style.

Confidence Booster

Most 200 hour YTTs: (1) don’t include enough teaching practice (2) don’t offer helpful feedback (3) don’t communicate what excellent yoga teaching even looks like and (4) don’t empower students to find their unique voice. The result: a lack of confidence and skill come graduation time. This program includes 15 hours of teaching practice. You get helpful, crystal clear feedback after every single session. You learn exactly what to aim for. And you are encouraged from day 1 to find your voice (rather than become a copy-cat version of Jess, or any other teacher).

What Students Say

The Most Powerful YTT On Yoga Alliance

Secret: Many YTTs have positive ratings, because it's easy to collect 5-star reviews when your students don't have a basis for comparison.

So yeah ... we're grateful to be one of the top-rated YTTs on Yoga Alliance (4.9/5). But what we really care about is that our students get super excited when they talk about our training. Because it actually transformed their self-worth, and changed their life.

Meet some of our graduates and see for yourself. None of this is scripted. All of it is straight from the heart.

Talk To A Graduate

❲ FAQ ❳

Your YTT Questions Answered

Hey, It's Hanna here 👋

I'm community manager at Movement Wisdom! Hopefully this page has all the info you need. But in case something's missing, or if you just want to have a quick chat with me before signing up - just let me know. I'm here to help and I can't wait to meet you! 😊

Are you crazy ...

Nope.

Practicing yoga in-person is AMAZING. But we're talking about a teacher training. And that's a whole different animal.

There are some veeery compelling reasons why you should take your training online rather than in-person.

But before we dive into those, let's make one thing clear:

The quality of any yoga teacher training - in-person or online - depends almost entirely on the knowledge and skill of your YTT lead trainer.

How much do they know about the different aspects of yoga?
Can they communicate their knowledge effectively?
Do you personally resonate with their character, their vision, and their teaching style?
Do they live, breathe, and easily share the yogic worldview with others?
Do they inspire you?

Picking the right teacher is the #1 most important thing you can do when choosing your YTT. This cannot be overstated! Whether you study with them online or in-person is secondary.

Okay, now let's consider the advantages of online trainings:

1. Flexibility

Your typical in-person training will take place full time (usually 4 weeks) or on weekends (usually 10 long weekends in a row). You have to be there or you can't do the course. Online trainings, on the other hand, can be incredibly flexible (when most of the lessons are pre-recorded). In the Movement Wisdom YTT you decide when and where and for how long you study.

2. Better content

Each class in this training was planned and filmed carefully and with great attention to detail. Jess made sure each topic, each class, is her best teaching. In an in-person training, on the other hand, the lead trainer will teach between 8 to 12 hours every day. It's easy to see why peak-performance teaching might not be possible in this set up.

3. Watch it again

Did you really like a lecture and want to replay it multiple times? Trying to grasp a difficult concept and need a replay? Want to start the training all over again to see how much you've improved and to deepen your knowledge even more? No problem! All of these things are possible in our online YTT. But of course impossible with an in-person YTT.

4. Permission to relax

You won't ever be rushing to class. No worries about what other people think about your hair. And if life gets in the way - that's okay. Your classes will still be there tomorrow, waiting for you whenever you're ready.

5. Environmentally friendly

No more guilty conscience about flying across the globe to study with an industry leader; just do it from home! Streaming is so much less harmful to the environment than flying to Bali or driving multiple times per week to the nearest yoga studio.

6. Risk-reduction

Any good online YTT will give you the chance to try before you buy. This way you can get to know the teacher, dip your toes in the water and see what you're signing up for. An excellent online YTT will even give you a free trial period (we do). Our training is risk free, leaving the decision to commit totally up to you. In an in-person training, on the other hand, you have many substantial risk factors even if you're confident that your teacher is amazing (accommodation, food, roommates, weather etc.)

This dream is definitely not crazy! Here's why:

Yoga is a massive trend and it's not going anywhere.

Worldwide, people spend 1.5 Trillion USD on wellness every year
The global yoga industry is worth almost 100 Billion USD
More than 50 million Americans practice yoga regularly
1 in 3 Americans have tried yoga, and many are regular practitioners
The number of regular practitioners is booming and trending upward
Yoga is among the top 10 fitness trends in the world

With so much opportunity, it's no wonder that tens of thousands of people enroll in yoga teacher trainings every year.

But you know what? Less than 5% of all YTT students actually become yoga teachers. Many of them feel unprepared and unsure of the quality of their skills after graduation. They don't believe in themselves or and feel what they learned in their YTT was lacking. Our graduates don't share these doubts (check out their testimonials and see what incredible things our grads are doing to see for yourself!).

Plus, the vast majority of yoga teachers are, for lack of a better word...standard. They are very nice, lovely people! But most can only teach 1 style of yoga, use robotic, outdated cues, don't understand the life-changing power of yoga philosophy, and were taught that every person has the same anatomy, and same abilities on the yoga mat.

So if you find an excellent training that sets you up to become an extra-ordinary teacher, you're soo much more likely create the yoga business of your dreams.

Also, consider this:

You can easily start teaching part-time (aka there's little to no risk)
You can be your own boss (if you like / when you're ready)
You can make your living doing something that you actually love
You can even make money where other people pay to go on a yoga vacation
Your students want to practice with you. And AI cannot replace you
There are sooo many interesting yoga niches to explore
You will help your community and see a new, empowered version of yourself. The world needs more people like you!

That won't happen!

This 200 hour YTT does not ask you to believe anything.

There is no system of yogic beliefs that you have to subscribe to in order to be a “good yogi”. So if you already practice a religion - don’t worry - yoga won’t get in the way. Rather, it will be complimentary and you’ll find many familiar ideas, just framed differently.

And if you’re an atheist, you can totally stay in your lane, too. The only thing a good yoga teacher training will do is broaden your horizons. Hopefully a lot. And as far as I know, that has never hurt anybody. 😎

About This Training

We want you to make an informed decision about signing up for this training. Seriously, we don't want your money unless you're 100% confident in the quality of this program and sure that Jess' teaching style resonates with you.

That's why we've created the YTT Prep School. Enter your name and email below to sign up. It only takes 10 seconds and it's completely free.

After signing up, you'll be forwarded to a separate page where you find a masterclass with Jess about 5 things that set great yoga teachers apart and how this training prepares you to become one.

Highly recommended! (Worst-case: You learn a lot about yoga for free.)

🛒 Signing up

✅ Complete Your First Chapter

Your first milestone! The moment you tick the checkmark on the last lesson of your first training chapter.

Imagine A Flower Unfolding

Our 200 hour training journey is divided into 16 chapters. Each chapter covers between 12 and 13 hours of content. You'll go through the program chapter by chapter.

Inside each chapter you'll find a bunch of classes, lectures and lessons. Some longer, some shorter. Some on the mat, some off the mat.

Each lesson belongs to a training module (see above) and we mix all modules from the start. So instead of learning all the anatomy, then all the philosophy etc. you'll be served little chunks of each module.

This makes the training materials easier to "digest". Plus, everything is interrelated anyways. And it's super helpful to make connections as you go through the course.

Your knowledge will grow organically. It'll be like layers of an onion. Or the pedals of a flower unfolding.

Your practice evolves.
You fine-tune your postures.
Your appreciation of small details goes through the roof.
You go from "aaaah, I can't teach anything" to "yeaah, this felt really good!".
You start looking at the world differently.
You bring yoga into your life more.
You reflect on who you are and where you want to go.
You begin to dream up and then map out your ideal yoga business.

It's a beautiful process, really!

Here is high-level overview of what the training includes and what you'll learn.

Whenever you want, wherever you want, however you want

The training was created to be incredibly flexible.

You can study when you want, where you want, and how you want.

Most students take somewhere between 6 to 8 months to complete the course. But we've also seen students plow through the training in less than 3 months. And others have taken 2 years.

Whatever works for you works for us 😊

The only required live element of the training are 10 teaching practice sessions. We typically schedule all of our live events on weekends. For further details check out the "Live Calls" tab below.

What is it?

A 450-page workbook that goes hand in hand with the online course. Inside you'll find:

space to take notes on (almost) every lesson
over 1.000 photographs of yoga poses (main poses + lots of variations and modifications) that we cover in the training
images of mudras, meditation positions, breathwork techniques and more
yoga anatomy illustrations (body parts, bones, joints, ligaments, movements etc.)

What is it not?

A textbook with summaries of every lecture. (In our opinion, this would prevent you from learning rather than support you.)

Does it help?

Yes, a lot! The training manual (especially the print version)

supports your learning
helps you stay organized
keeps you on track
anchors the online training in the "real world"
will be an invaluable resource after graduation

Is it digital or paper?

We offer both. The digital version is a watermarked pdf document. The paper version is printed in full color on paper that's suitable for taking notes.

Is it free?

Digital copy

Every student receives a free pdf version of the manual.

Paper manual

The paper manual is not included in the course fee (unless specified otherwise).

You will place a separate order for your paper manual.

Please note: Physical products are non-refundable since they are produced and shipped on demand (aka. just for you). Please make sure that you want to stay in the training before you order your paper manual. For logistical reasons we cannot accept returns.

This is accordion content!

What are teaching practices?

Pretty much what it sounds like. You meet in small groups with fellow students and one of our mentors.

Then you teach each other some yoga 🙌

We'll tell you exactly what you're going to teach so that you can prepare as much (or as little) as you want. There is no pressure. The whole point of these sessions is to leave our existing comfort zones, and then build a new one. To make mistakes and learn from them. Together.

It's going to be fun!

Teaching practice sessions are a safe space.

Our mentors give feedback at the end of every session. But it's always directed to the group. We'll never ever point fingers at individual students.

Are these sessions mandatory?

Yes. In order to graduate you'll have to attend 10 teaching practices (you have the option to join more than 10).

If you don't care about graduating from the training, then of course you don't have to come to teaching practice. (We still recommend it though, because you'll learn a LOT (how to use your voice, how to present yourself positively and confidently, how difficult it really is to teach yoga well). And also because it's a great opportunity to meet fellow yoga nerds 😉

What about time zones?

Great question! We are fortunate to have students from all parts of the world in the training.

So if you want to take this training because you want the best yoga education that you can get - then you're going to make it work.

But it's certainly more convenient in some parts of the world than others.

The vast majority of our students live in North America and Europe. Plus, our team members are also based on these continents.

And therefore our events are scheduled primarily with the corresponding time zones in mind.

Good Timing

If you're anywhere between Los Angeles in the West (UTC -9) and Moscow in the East (UTC +2), then you should be able to attend live calls during waking hours. 👍

Bad Timing

If you're in the Middle East, Asia or Oceania then you'll occasionally have to stay up very late or get up very early. Sorry about that! 🙃

This is accordion content!

Being able to get your questions answered and to get helpful feedback throughout your training is super important.

That's why Jess answers student questions with personal videos and hosts regular Q&A live calls and group brainstorming mentorship sessions. Plus, each small group of students has a dedicated cohort mentor who is available to help out with any questions and concerns. Long story short, every one of your questions will get answered.

The group feedback at the end of each teaching practice will help you advance your teaching. You're going to pick up tons of good cues, learn to use your voice, become more fluent, modify poses etc. Don't worry, giving and receiving feedback never involves pointing fingers at any one student in particular.

Feedback on your postures is built into the training as well through what we call Asana Selfies. You take pictures of yourself doing key poses. Then you evaluate your own posture using highly specific instructions. You will view, measure and feel your practice with more detail than before. This process doesn't just improve your own asana practice. It also trains you to read the bodies of your students so you can be helpful to them.

In addition, you can get our Pose Feedback Upgrade which is worth hours of personal attention from our asana expert Hanna. She'll zoom in on every important aspect on your pose and help you fine-tune the details.

This kind of feedback goes far beyond what you could expect even in an in-person YTT.

And the best thing is: For a limited time, we offer the Pose Feedback Upgrade as a bonus for everyone who signs up in March.

Moreover, we have built short multiple choice reviews into every training chapter. These reviews are a quick and easy way to make sure that you've picked up the most important lessons from the chapter and are ready to move on to the next.

Finally, you'll test your knowledge and get detailed personal feedback on your Final Exam (see below for details).

Final Exam

Our hope, as you make your way through this course, is that you don't focus too much on the "end goal" of taking your final exam and getting certified to teach. Rather, we hope that you just enjoy the 200 hours. Because true contentment lives in the present moment. And because what this course has in store for you personally is at least as important as the certification you'll receive upon graduation.

At the same time, it is of course very helpful to know what you need to do in order to graduate. So here it comes:

There are two parts to your final exam. The first is a multiple choice quiz. The second part is you teaching a 30 minute yoga class. You can teach live or hand in a video recording.

All you need to do in order to prepare for your exam is to pay attention to the 200 hours of training that lie ahead. If you do that (and put your knowledge into action), graduation is pretty much guaranteed. For real. There's no need to stress out about the exam!

Graduation

You'll receive detailed feedback on your exam and your graduation certificate right away. And then you're ready to register with the Yoga Alliance (optional).

Besides the certificate, Jess will also write you a personal letter of recommendation which you will help you land your first teaching gigs.

Beyond

You will receive an invitation to join the Movement Wisdom Teacher's Club where you can get and stay in touch with fellow graduates as you begin to teach.

We offer regular live calls for the entire Movement Wisdom community and you're always welcome to join.

Your training will remain available. We've had students who started again right away after graduation. We even have students taking the course for a 3rd or 4th time 'cos they cherish it so much. Whatever you choose, just know it's here for your for life. Bonus: You don't have to pay extra for any upgrades we make to the training in the future, so as the course evolves, so will your learning!

We'd like to offer you not just a standard 30 day money back guarantee, but two additional guarantees that testify to the quality of this course.

Part 1 - Money Back For 30 Days

You can cancel your order within 1 month of signing up. No strings attached and no questions asked. This guarantee is to make sure that the program lives up to your expectations.

Part 2 - Transformation

If you complete the course and you don't think that it has changed who you are and how you live your life in at least one meaningful way, then you get your money back. The only thing we would like to do is have a short talk with you to find what went wrong and how we can improve the training for future students.

Part 2 - Best Teacher In Town

We guarantee that when you graduate from the Movement Wisdom 200 Hour YTT you will instantly be the most versatile, knowledgeable and inspiring new yoga teacher in your community.

Aren't you too insert your thing for a 200 Hour YTT?

Are you older than 16?

Then you're good to go. If you aren't legally an "adult" yet (aka. you can't sign a contract), then please write a short email to help@movementwisdomyoga.com.

We would like to have a short call with you and your parents present. This is just to make sure that all the important aspects are clear.

And if you're younger than 16 and you still want to take this course, then do the same thing and we'll see what your parents think. 😊

You're never too old for a YTT. Especially not for this one...

The Movement Wisdom 200 hour online YTT is great for older adults.

One of the most important lessons you will learn in this training is that yoga takes place on the inside. It doesn't matter at all which poses you can or can't do (anymore) or what your practice looks like from the outside.

For some, sitting still in meditation or lying down in Savasana is their biggest challenge on the mat. They might be able to do Scorpion pose all day long, but being still and quiet feels impossible.

Someone else might be light-years away from touching their toes, but have an incredible yogic mindset and can meditate for hours on end. Our level of success in yoga is not visible on the outside - it's all about our mental state as we do the things that challenge us the most.

Note: if you have heart disease or osteoporosis, please send Jess a message once you start the training so she can help you personally cater each class to you!

No!

The Movement Wisdom YTT is perfect for passionate yoga students who celebrate everything from holding Downdog for 5 breaths, to holding Handstand for 3 minutes, and everyone in-between!

There is no list of poses you need to be able to do in order to sign up and be successful in this course. No predefined fitness level or BMI or muscle mass that you need to have. If you are passionate, motivated, and eager to find your yoga, then you'll enjoy this course very much!

Congratulatioooooons! 🥳

You can absolutely take this training while being pregnant.

We have prepared a detailed guide on how to modify your yoga practice if you are pregnant during your YTT. If you follow this guide then you and your baby will be totally safe. And if you have any questions at all after reading the guide, we can jump on a call at any point to make sure everything is 100% crystal clear.

There are limitations for your physical practice during pregnancy. These differ depending on which trimester you're in. You should avoid certain types of poses and breathwork practices. All of this is outlined in the guide.

But your pregnancy will not impact your ability to go through and complete the course. So no worries! And - I'll let you in on a little secret - Jess filmed most of the classes in this training while pregnant with her second! So now you really know that it's do-able. 🥰

You're probably fine.

As long as you have the green light from your doctor, you're good to go!

We're not doctors ourselves, but are happy to offer detailed personal advice on how to modify your asana practice depending on your exact condition. Jess is highly trained in therapeutic yoga and is more than happy to have a call with you once you sign up for the course about how to make this training work for your specific condition!

And we trust that you will listen to your body and do only what works for you as you make your way through the training.

In the past, we have had students with injuries and medical conditions like these successfully and joyfully complete the course:

carpal tunnel syndrome
scoliosis
hypermobility
high blood pressure
low blood pressure
autoimmune diseases
arthritis
joint replacements
chronic pain
slipped and herniated discs
cancer

No. Beginners are more than welcome!

The Movement Wisdom 200 hour online YTT is a foundational program with plenty of options for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners.

Don't get me wrong - there will be poses in this course that challenge you both physically and mentally. But you are not expected to come to the training able to do everything - not even close!

Yoga is a process. Your practice is a process. Your mindset when confronted with things you can't yet do is a process. What shapes you make in your body (or don't make!) are not at all important. Yoga is about so much more than that.

And to be honest, we love having students who are newer to yoga in our courses, as they come with more of a blank slate. Our more "advanced" students have a harder time in some ways. Because they have a lot of old cues and yoga myths from their years of practice that they now want to unlearn!

You tell me ...

The Movement Wisdom 200 hour online YTT is a foundational program with plenty of options for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners.

You'll probably learn a lot of new cues, techniques, practices, principles, and interesting facts about yoga.

Even if you've been practicing yoga for many years. And even if you've already taken a 200 or even 300 hour YTT.

Every yoga teacher and yoga teacher's teacher is different. They focus on different aspects, have a different take on what matters and what doesn't, explain things differently etc.

And the sad truth is that most yoga teachers (including YTT leaders) aren't nearly as good as they could be. Because only very few of them have well-rounded and up-to-date yoga education.

So unless you go through the Contents section of this page and you can confidently say that you already know all this stuff very well ... this course will be worthwhile.

I would even go further and say that no matter how advanced you are, this course will change the way you practice and teach yoga forever.

You can do it!

We've had everyone from high-ranking executives to stay-at-home moms with 4 little ones complete the training. If they can do it, you can too!

You can literally study whenever and wherever you want (aka bathtub study sessions and educational walks in the park 😊).
We've been told over and over that the Movement Wisdom 200 hour training doesn't drain your batteries. It recharges them!
With lifetime access to all training materials you can graduate in 3 years. Who cares?! Better slow and steady than fast and never.

What you can expect ...

Logistical Questions

Is this course Yoga Alliance certified?

Yes.

What does this mean?

The Yoga Alliance is an international non-profit group that represents and supports both yoga teachers and the yoga industry. They set the industry standards for yoga teacher trainings.

The Movement Wisdom Online 200 Hour Online YTT is certified by the Yoga Alliance. This means that once you graduate, you'll be able to register with the Yoga Alliance and use the title "RYT 200" after your name (e.g. "Amy Smith, RYT 200"). It's the yoga version of adding letters to your name from university and other higher education certifications.

This certification is important, among other things, because many studios won't hire you without it. The thinking is that the program they were a part of gave them the foundational concepts that they need to teach. Not every YTT gives their students this foundation.

Some yoga teacher training programs are not registered with the Yoga Alliance. This means that they either did not meet criteria for registration (they didn't have the appropriate curriculum or level of certification of their lead teacher trainers) or they do not want to register with Yoga Alliance, even though it might hurt their students in the long run not to be registered.

The fact that the Movement Wisdom YTT is registered is beneficial to you, whether or not you decide to officially register with the Yoga Alliance (which includes a small yearly fee) or not.
