Yoga Teacher Training

Yandara yoga certification school emphasizes practice and teaching skills, including organizing a class, creating confidence, pranayama, philosophy and making postural corrections. You will learn to teach yoga with precision alignment, emphasizing heart-felt presence.

"Yandara Yoga Institute has all of the qualities one should look for in a yoga certification  program. – excellent resident faculty; a full schedule and strong curriculum; plenty of hands-on learning/teaching; and even more – pristine ocean front location; an “off-the-grid” retreat center with solar electricity; organic vegetable/fruit garden; delicious, healthy, well-proportioned meals; and a great local community of musicians, teachers, and yogis. My time at Yandara was thoroughly enjoyable, both as a teacher and a new member of their community and I look forward to many returns".

Some people hesitate to become a yoga teacher because they feel they don’t have the right body type, aren’t flexible enough, or are too old or too young. We believe that yoga is for everyone. Everyone has the perfect yoga body. Our yoga teacher training is open to all practitioners with a minimum of six months practice. Yoga instructor certification is based on the successful comprehension and mastery of the principles and practice of yoga and the ability to communicate what you have learned to others. We will assist you in doing this with grace and ease!
