More about our unique course...
We offer an immersive, contemplative, and joyful 200-hour teacher training program registered with the Yoga Alliance. More information please.........
Breathe Joy Yoga's 200+ hour registered Yoga Alliance teacher training program integrates the physical, mental, philosophical, and spiritual aspects of yoga. Our unique program is structured with weekly classes in Sharon on Tuesday nights from 6:30-10 pm. Students will also study and practice with our staff in asana classes throughout the course of the training (40 classes over an 8-12 month period. Students can start counting classes toward this requirement upon receipt of your application and deposit. Don't wait...start NOW and take advantage of our Passport to Freedom UNLIMITED summer class pass). In addition to participating in asana classes, where we reinforce and integrate the concepts you are learning on Tuesday nights, students will participate in meditation classes and workshops with nationally-known yoga instructors.
Our apprenticeship-style program -- found rarely in teacher training programs today -- allows plenty of time for individual growth and learning. To this end, our teacher training course incorporates a mentorship aspect so each student can work with one of our highly gifted teachers to find their own voice as a dynamic yoga teacher. This is accomplished through class participation as well as assisting and student teaching with our staff at our studio. As we offer extensive individual attention, our program is only run once a year.
There are many teacher training programs available and it is important that you find the right fit for you. Our course weaves all aspects of yoga together in a way that allows students to digest, understand and disseminate the information. Each class is themed so that students are able to comprehend how to integrate asana with meditation, pranayama, bandhas, chakras, and yoga philosophy and ethics. Our program also incorporates some advanced concepts and classes generally not taught in 200-hour programs. With this said, a large part of our curriculum focuses on the practical aspect of sequencing classes for a desired energetic effect and teaching this back in a real class setting. In essence, you will learn how to teach from your mat and take your deep studies off the mat with you to enhance your life and those of your future students. So how will you know if our program is the course you've been seeking?
Breathe Joy's teacher training is right for you if you want to deepen your yoga practice. It is right for you if you want to share your love for yoga with others in a safe and effective way. It is right for you if you want a full, comprehensive yoga experience and to learn from teachers who are committed to the practice and healing art of yoga. It is right for you if you want to learn from an integrative approach that is not found in most teacher training programs today. It is right for you if you want to practice yoga on and off your mat; in your life and out in the world.
Our course is designed for either those who want to teach or those who just want to learn more about yoga and journey within the soul.
It is right for you if you are a serious seeker.

"The Breathe Joy Yoga teacher training program was so much more than I had expected in a teacher training 
program. I left the program feeling well-prepared to teach, having received a thorough grounding in the physical aspects of yoga, the philosophical basis of the practice, and the business of being a yoga instructor. However, the program was so much more than simply a training program; the experiences, study, and practices that were part of the program not only informed who I am as a teacher but also who I am as a person. I was pushed in ways that I never expected and experienced incredible personal growth. The program was well-organized and supervised by Robyn and her staff of dedicated, experienced, and caring teachers who took a genuine interest in each student and fostered a sense of community that extends beyond the conclusion of the program. The Breathe Joy Yoga teacher training was a life changing experience and provided me with an invaluable foundation as I strike out on my yoga path" -- Sarah Bierman, RYT, 2009 BJY TT graduate
"The first time I stepped foot into Breathe Joy Yoga, I knew I had found someplace very special. It was clear that at Breathe Joy Yoga, the instructors were knowledgeable, caring and truly committed to making sure that we developed to our fullest potential. The teacher training curriculum thoroughly covered what was needed to teach yoga postures, alignments and adjustments, breathing techniques, yoga philosophy and even the business side of teaching yoga. I learned so much more than I ever expected. However, what was so valuable and beyond compare was the personal journey of self discovery. Robyn and her wonderful staff guided us along our individual paths and supported us every step of the way. My path has taken me full circle and I was honored to be asked to teach here on a regular basis. For me, Breathe Joy Yoga has become my second home" -- Meagan Krasner, MS, RYT, 2009 BJY TT graduate
