January–September 2027
One weekend per month
Live online via Zoom
Want to deepen your yoga practice and discover more about yourself? Curious about yoga’s roots in India and the wisdom behind the poses? Or ready to become a teacher and share what you love?
Join The Iron Cactus for a nine-month yoga teacher training that connects you directly with teachers at our school in New Tehri, India, from wherever you call home.
Explore the teachings, develop your personal practice, and learn how to guide others—with a community supporting you along the way.
Your main teachers will teach live from The Iron Cactus India school in New Tehri, bringing their knowledge and experience directly to you. Teachers from our community here in the United States will also join throughout the training, sharing additional perspectives and practical teaching experience.
Learning directly from India offers an opportunity to connect with yoga’s heritage and understand the traditions behind the practice you love.
We’ll meet on Zoom one Saturday and Sunday per month from January through September 2027.
You’ll learn alongside your teachers and fellow students in real time, with opportunities to ask questions, discuss the teachings, and practice together.
The monthly format gives you time between weekends to revisit what you’ve learned and bring it into your own practice. Plan for personal practice and self-study between our live sessions.
Our 200-hour training builds a foundation in:
Yoga philosophy, history, and traditions
Yoga postures, alignment, and adaptations
Breathwork and meditation
Anatomy as it relates to yoga practice
Class sequencing and clear verbal instruction
Teaching skills and practice teaching
Self-study, reflection, and karma yoga
You’ll explore both your own experience of yoga and how to share it with others. Practice teaching will help you develop your voice, offer accessible options, and grow more comfortable leading a class.
Your digital yoga pose library
You’ll have access to our digital library of main yoga poses so you can practice independently and refer back whenever you need a refresher.
Your private WhatsApp community
Ask questions, share discoveries, and connect with your teachers and fellow students throughout the training.
Opportunities to practice together
Live near another student? Connect to study, practice poses, or take turns teaching. Learning online can still create meaningful connections close to home.
The Iron Cactus is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School. Our registered 200-hour training meets Yoga Alliance’s educational standards.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive your 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate. Graduates can pursue the RYT 200 credential through Yoga Alliance, with registration and membership handled separately.
This training welcomes people who want to deepen their understanding of yoga, as well as those who want to teach.
You might be drawn to the philosophy behind your practice, ready to build a more consistent relationship with yoga, or excited to lead your own classes. You don’t need to have your future teaching career mapped out to begin exploring.
