Yoga Teacher Training
200 Hour Advanced Studies and Teacher Training Program (ASTT)
Now is the time. This program is an amazing opportunity for you to follow your dream of becoming a yoga teacher…or to simply take your practice to a whole new level .
You will be guided, supported and encouraged by knowledgeable, passionate and accessible teachers along a transformative journey, surrounded by a supportive community of others on the same path–yogis who are inspired and dedicated to become healthier, happier human beings and contribute to the greater happiness of the world!
Program Philosophy: Our format is based on the belief that true knowledge is acquired through direct experience. Therefore, in the Asha Yoga Advanced Studies & Teacher Training Program you will be immersed in the practice and study of yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, practice teaching, anatomy, applied philosophy and much more.
Content: Our 200-hour (Yoga Alliance approved) program offers an in-depth study of yoga and teaching methodology, with a primary focus on the Dynamic Yogi style (Vinyasa Flow). Plus, you will learn to integrate Yin and Restorative principals in order to teach “Balanced Yogi”, as taught by Cori at Asha Yoga.
The Asha Yoga Advanced Studies & Teacher Training Program was created for passionate students looking for an in-depth experience, as well as students who wish to teach and share the gift of yoga with others, and for current yoga teachers looking to expand and refine their skills as teachers.

TESTIMONIALS
“From the very first day of Asha’s Teacher Training Program, I felt welcomed. Cori led the group to become like a family, making every minute of the training a harmonious discovery for each of us and as a whole.”
“Because of Cori’s sweetness and her direct, easy way of explaining things, my nervousness was quickly transformed into more passion for yoga and for learning about life. We covered a variety of yoga philosophies and anatomy of the body to help us find our own way of teaching.”
“Having already done another Teacher Training Program prior to Asha’s, I had previously studied many of these subjects. But Cori’s inspiring strength and enthusiasm helped me find a deeper understanding both physically and spiritually. This lead to a freedom in myself I had never known, but always wished for.”
“Practicing at Asha has brought out the person I want to be and this training has given me the tools to teach others to do the same for themselves. I feel very honored and grateful I was able to take this program. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!” –Robin Mordecai “I went home so many nights just bursting with excitement about yoga. I loved this training and feel so fortunate to have chosen it over any other.”
