Become a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher

With Integrated Mental Health Training & NBCC Credits 

At Insight Wisdom Center, we offer a uniquely integrative path to becoming a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), designed especially for those who want to bridge yoga, trauma-informed care, and mental health practice.

This program goes beyond traditional yoga teacher training. It weaves together movement, philosophy, neuroscience, and clinical insight, offering 30 hours of NBCC-approved continuing education for mental health providers.

Whether you’re a clinician, yoga practitioner, or both, this training is designed to deepen your understanding of the body-mind connection and give you practical tools you can use immediately.

 

Program Overview
Our training is structured in modular weekend intensives with a blend of in-person learning and asynchronous coursework. This allows you to move through the program in a way that is immersive, flexible, and grounded in real-world application.

You may complete modules individually or follow the full path toward your 200-hour certification. Module 1: Foundations is required for all other trainings except for the Aerial Yoga Level 1. We’re offering this first iteration of our program to a select few “founders” who will help us shape our program. Each of these trainings are deeply discounted for this first series — after May of 2027, our prices will increase from a total of $2,700 to $3,500. Please note: Most of these modules require the purchase of additional reading materials. The full reading list will be available soon.
