Segment 1: Yoga Practice

At Sol Hot Yoga Studio, we believe that practice is the path. Itโ€™s not something we do to prepare for Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). Your practice forms the foundation of your journey. You canโ€™t guide where you've never traveled. The journey to teach comes through consistent practice.

Segment 2: Yoga Philosophy

At Sol Hot Yoga Studio, Yoga Philosophy is not just a subjectโ€”itโ€™s the soul of our Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). While posture and alignment train the body, philosophy trains the mind and opens the heart. It deepens your why.

Segment 3: Yoga Anatomy & Physiology

Sol Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) includes a comprehensive study of anatomy & physiologyโ€”not only learning the bodyโ€™s physical mechanics, but to honor it as a vessel of transformation. We explore howย each posture affects muscles, mood, health, and energy flow. Understanding how postures activate & balance energy helps us teach with deeper awareness โ€” not just form, but feeling.

Segment 4: Professional Commitment

At Sol Hot Yoga, Registered Yoga Teacher is not just a title โ€” itโ€™s a commitment. As an accredited Registered Yoga School (RYS), we are members of Yoga Alliance, and subscribe to the Code of Ethics for those who earn the Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) designation. ย Our curriculum has been reviewed & approved by a council of Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers.

Graduates from our accredited 200-hour teacher training program are eligible for the globally-recognized RYT-200 designation.
