YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Yoga Loft Tucson's Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) begins in January!
Our yoga teacher training is designed for students who want to learn how to live their yoga by taking the practice off the mat and applying it to their daily lives. Our training is more than learning how to become a certified yoga teacher; it's a safe space for transformation, healing, and community.
​
Whether you’re looking to deepen your yogic understanding or learn how to teach yoga, this training will empower you to honor your choice with confidence. We've created a training that's accessible and inclusive and will help you feel more embodied in your practice.
​
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training is certified by the Yoga Alliance for those wanting to become certified yoga teachers.

Our YTT Core Values:
Focused on Accessibility
Our YTT is thoughtfully designed with a focus on accessibility, ensuring you graduate confident in teaching students of all levels. Our comprehensive curriculum covers asana (the poses) modifications and variations, enabling you to skillfully guide beginners, seasoned practitioners, and everyone in between.
With this inclusive approach, you’ll be prepared to create classes that meet the needs of diverse practitioners, making yoga accessible to all.
Functional Anatomy
Our training places a strong emphasis on functional anatomy, giving you up-to-date knowledge of movement and the human body. Our training equips you to understand how modern bodies move, allowing you to design intelligent, well-informed sequences that support the health and longevity of your students' practice.
By the end of the program, you’ll be confident in creating safe, effective yoga classes that are grounded in a deep understanding of anatomy and movement principles.
Trauma Aware Programing
Our yoga training is taught with a focus on trauma awareness, providing you with the tools to create safe, inclusive classes for all students. Through our training, you’ll learn how to integrate trauma-aware practices and cues into your teaching, fostering an environment where students feel supported and empowered.
Upon graduation, you’ll be confident leading classes with compassion and care, ensuring everyone can practice yoga in a nurturing and respectful space.
Intimate Training Size
Our Yoga Teacher Training is designed to provide an intimate, immersive experience with a maximum of 10 participants. This small group setting ensures that each student receives personalized attention and tailored guidance from our experienced lead teachers and Yoga Loft co-owners.
Whether you’re deepening your practice or stepping into the role of a teacher, our program supports your unique journey in a nurturing and supportive environment.
Jackie and Ashlee did a great job teaching us. I felt confident, knowledgeable and prepared during my first class! YTT will enrich your practice and your life! Trust the process, commit to the work and you will have everything you need.
