What Sets Our Teacher Training Apart

At Exhale817, our 200 Hour Teacher Training is about far more than learning how to lead a class. You'll graduate with the confidence to teach, a deep understanding of the roots and philosophy of yoga, and a thorough knowledge of the postures beyond simply memorizing names and shapes. We take a deep dive into alignment, anatomy, breath, modifications, and the purpose behind every pose, along with the art of safe, effective hands on adjustments that help students feel supported and confident in their practice. You'll also gain practical insight into the business of yoga, including branding, marketing, creating community, and building a sustainable career. Our goal is for you to leave with the knowledge, confidence, and authenticity to teach with purpose while honoring the tradition of yoga.

The Exhale817 Difference

  • Deep, Intelligent Sequencing
    You won’t learn “gym yoga” flows. You’ll learn how to build advanced, safe, purposeful sequences rooted in Ashtanga, alignment, and functional movement, the kind that create real transformation.

  • Sanskrit + Tradition, Taught Clearly
    We honor the lineage with meaningful Sanskrit, philosophy, and classical roots, taught in a way that feels accessible, modern, and relevant.

  • Hands-On Adjustments + Real Confidence
    Expect lots of hands-on training. You’ll learn how to see bodies, offer safe adjustments, and speak with clarity so you walk away confident and ready to lead.

  • Small Cohort Mentorship
    No big-box, conveyor-belt training. You get personal attention, direct coaching, and individualized feedback every step of the way.

  • Teach in a Real Studio
    You’ll practice-teach inside our actual classes so you gain real experience with real students, something most trainings don’t offer.

  • A Studio That Feels Like Family
    Exhale817 is known for being supportive, warm, and community-driven. You’ll feel seen, encouraged, and pushed in the best way.

Can I do the training if I work full time?

Absolutely. Our program is intentionally designed for people with full time jobs, families, and busy schedules.

Training meets just two weekends per month from January through May. The only weekday commitment is every other Friday afternoon, so you'll only need to take one half day off work twice a month.

Most of our graduates have completed the program while working full time.

Will I need to take time off work?

Very little. Our 200 Hour Teacher Training meets two weekends each month, and you'll only need one half day off every other Friday. That's a total of nine Friday afternoons over the entire program, making it manageable for many people who work full time.
