Not at all! While we recommend having at least a year of consistent yoga practice, this training is for anyone who feels called to dive deeper—whether you're looking to teach or simply expand your knowledge. If you love yoga and are committed to the journey, you belong here. The most important prerequisite is an open heart and a willingness to learn.

Many students join the training simply to deepen their personal practice, and that's completely valid! While we do teach you how to become a confident instructor, plenty of graduates choose not to teach professionally. This training is as much about personal transformation and self-discovery as it is about teaching certification. We also offer a Yoga Enrichment Program option for those who want the experience without the certification.

Yes! We offer a 2-installment payment plan, and we also have one scholarship available. To apply for the scholarship, simply share your yoga story and why you want to become a yoga teacher by emailing us at info@sukhastudiogc.com. An early bird discount is available if you enroll before December 1st.

Absolutely! A free Sukha Studio membership is included throughout your entire training period, giving you unlimited access to classes so you can continue building your practice alongside the program.

We understand that life happens. Attendance for all scheduled dates is required to complete the certification, but we handle missed sessions on a case-by-case basis. You may be able to make up missed hours through private sessions with instructors, approved workshops, or other arrangements (additional costs may apply). Please note that per our student agreement, there are no refunds, training transfers, or other options once you've enrolled.

You'll complete 160 hours of in-person learning plus 40 hours of homework, group projects, and self-reflection. The curriculum covers vinyasa sequencing, anatomy and physiology, yoga philosophy, chanting, pranayama and meditation, the business of yoga, and introductions to yin, restorative, and prenatal yoga. You'll also learn from diverse guest teachers who are specialists in their fields, including Thai massage, Ayurveda, and more.

Training takes place over 12 weekends from January through May 2026. You'll meet on Friday evenings (7:30-9:00pm), Saturdays (1:00-7:00pm), and Sundays (1:00-5:00pm), with hour-long lunch breaks built in. Some exceptions apply, so check the detailed schedule for specific dates and times.

Yes! By the end of the training, you'll have the skills and confidence to lead classes. How proficient you become depends on the time and energy you invest in practicing what you learn. Throughout the program, you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice teach in a supportive environment, receive feedback, and refine your teaching voice.

Yes, our 200-hour teacher training meets Yoga Alliance standards, and upon completion, you'll be eligible to register as a RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher).

Jennifer McCann, E-RYT 300 and Morgan Gertler, E-RYT 500 will be your lead teachers. You can expect them to support you throughout your journey and offer one-on-one personal help.

Our training also features other experienced instructors as well as accomplished guest teachers including Eugene Feis (Thai Massage & Authenticity), Patricia Morris (Anatomy), Lindsey Rozmes (Ayurveda), and Kimberly Sherbach (Philosophy & Ashtanga). You'll benefit from learning from multiple voices and teaching styles throughout your journey.
