200 hour teacher training

Winter 2025 Weekend Program

When will this training take place?
Our Spring Training will start in March with graduation and Karma Class in June. We are excited to continue to provide a hybrid schedule this year including many sessions via Zoom. This allows for the added convenience of spacing the training out over several weekends rather than taking up so many Sundays. In order to receive a certificate, trainees need to be at every session. Please let us know early if there is a day that you can not attend.

Investment
$3,500 (Early Bird: $3,200; Members: $2,900) A completed application and a non-refundable $500 deposit must be sent to Iris Yoga to hold your spot. The remainder will be due by graduation. Payment plans are available. 5% off if paid in full. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
