Top notch teacher training! I graduated from the Yoga Tree 6mo. 200hr. teacher training last year. It was the most incredible, inspirational experience, far beyond my expectations. Each of the 12 renowned teachers offered bounties of wisdom and expertise. The curriculum was steeped in safe foundation and provided modern adaptation of ancient teachings. The training facilities were very clean and comfortable. Plus they give you unlimited classes during the program.  Another bonus was nurturing a community with all different types of yogis. To this day, I still have close relations with several of my peers form the program. We go for yoga dates, and out to tea to trade stories from our new-found worlds, post-training.  There are many yoga teacher trainings out there, but none could compare to Yoga Tree. I call it the Harvard of yoga schools!

"It has been one year since I embarked on the amazing journey to become a yoga teacher. Since then, I have been hired by 6 different yoga studios and gyms, led numerous workshops, taught countless classes, private sessions, of course continued to attend as many classes as possible, with a great variety of teachers. Every class I teach, every class I take and every yoga conversation I have, I am reminded of how much I LOVE yoga, how much I learned last year at Yoga Tree (& since!) and how thrilled I am to continue learning every day. I hope to return to Yoga Tree (& SF in general!) one of these days. In the meantime please know how often I think of everyone at Yoga Tree and my time at the Mission studio, and how thankful I am to have begun my teaching journey with such fine teachers! Thank you!

Teacher training at Yoga Tree is a unique experience. We as students had the opportunity to learn from several of Yoga Tree's superstar teachers, and I loved the variety of instructors with different styles and different perspectives. It is impossible to go over every minute detail of yoga in a limited amount of time, but I feel that the Yoga Tree program offers a wide breadth of comprehensive information about yoga and teaching while still going in depth where it really counts. Not only was everyone in the program friendly and helpful during the training, there has also been great alumni support after we graduated. Highly recommended."

My experience with the Yoga Tree 200-Hour Teacher Training was phenomenal-- challenging, enlightening, wholesome, exciting. The teachers make it so; they hold a safe and sacred space that encourages everyone to learn and grow. One of the most valuable aspects of the training is the process of exploring personal limitations, also known as your "edge". With a keen understanding of your edge, you can better understand, listen and respond to yourself and your students. I chose to embark on my formal training at Yoga Tree to learn to teach yoga and to deepen my personal practice. I received more than this, perhaps one of the best experiences my life has ever seen. I highly recommend taking this course of study, opening your heart and mind to the wealth of ancient knowledge now distilled through the incredible teachers at Yoga Tree San Francisco."
Drew Dorsey, Basic Certification
I made a special trip to San Francisco to participate in the Yoga Tree Teacher Training Program and I have absolutely no regrets! Spending time with such a diverse, experienced and devoted group of teachers and other students has given me a really strong foundation in teaching and practicing yoga."
Anonymous, Basic Certification
As a regular practitioner, I enrolled in the YT TT program with the goal of learning more about my practice and why yoga works the way it does. After an amazing six month journey, I graduated with a solid understanding of yoga philosophy, alignment and teaching principles -- but most importantly -- I learned a lot about myself. While the time investment might look daunting, it's worth every minute and I can't recommend this program enough."
Brandon S., Basic Certification
I enjoyed every minute of my teacher training course. I was very impressed with the instructors and the taught material; as a whole, the course spanned a rich diversity of yoga philosophies, styles and practices, providing the students with a really well rounded knowledge of yoga. In addition the classroom environment was welcoming, fun and very supportive. Now that I teach yoga myself, I can see that this course offered me a wonderful teaching foundation and the confidence that I am offering my own students solid guidance on their yogic journey."
Maria Christina, Continuing Education
I decided to do the 200-hr Teacher Training course because I grew to love yoga and how it made me feel, inside and out. I had no idea the caliber of the teachers at Yoga Tree who offered us their guidance, wisdom, personal stories, and encouragement. I am humbled to have been taught by them and honored to have been in their presence, sharing in their deep understanding of this practice. I've been made so much more aware that there is so much more to learn!"
Rachele Lee, Basic Certification
The Yoga Tree Teacher Training summer intensive is a wonderful program. The diverse team of teachers is made up of some of Yoga Tree’s finest. We were presented with a broad range of perspectives and approaches, which allowed us to come to our own conclusions. Instead of learning to mimic a particular method or philosophy, we were offered several tools to integrate the practice into each of our own unique minds, bodies and spirits. I left the program with a greater sense of confidence and ease than I’d ever had before. I still find myself pulling from the rich experience of what was cultivated during that one month, both on and off the mat."
