WHAT IS A MYSTICAL YOGA TEACHER TRAINING?
A Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is a life-changing journey that dives deep into the philosophy, practice, and essence of yoga. More than just a certificate, it’s an opportunity to grow, and step into your purpose.
Whether you dream of teaching or simply want to deepen your practice, a YTT will not only expand your knowledge of yoga but also guide you into greater self-awareness, connection with your body, and a path to build your own spirituality.
At School Yoga Institute, our approach is rooted in Mystical Yoga. A unique fusion of traditional yoga practice with spiritual inquiry, wisdom, and deep self-reflection. Unlike conventional trainings that focus mainly on postures and methodology, Mystical Yoga invites you into a holistic journey that awakens body, mind, and spirit.v
Through practices like ceremony, meditation, self-inquiry, and based on the transformational teachings, our programs create a sacred space for profound personal growth.

OUR YOGA ASANA SEQUENCES
Mystical 200hr Yoga Teacher Training
In our Mystical 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, students learn to teach two asana sequences: Mystical Hatha Flow, a slow, meditative, Sivananda-based practice, and the Mystical Vinyasa Flow, a more dynamic, breath-synchronized flow.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training
In our Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training, students are guided in three sequences: a Trauma-Informed Slow Flow sequence, Yin sequence, and Vinyasa sequence.
Mystical 200hr YTT & Trauma-Informed YTT
In both our Mystical and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training, students explore alignment, hands-on assists, and intelligent sequencing, building a foundation to craft their own unique teaching style. Each evening is finished with Satsang, an evening gathering, such as meditation, kirtan chanting, or ceremony.
WHY choose a YOGA ALLIANCE REGISTERED SCHOOL
A Yoga Alliance Certification marks a pivotal achievement for yoga teachers, signifying their completion of a comprehensive training program that adheres to the rigorous standards set by Yoga Alliance.
By pursuing a certification through a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS) like School Yoga Institute, with more than 1000+ positive student reviews on Yoga Alliance, you’re not only enhancing your teaching credibility but also opening doors to teaching opportunities worldwide.
MUCH MORE THAN ASANAS
Yoga is For Every Body! Come one, come all. Our mission at School Yoga Institute is to contribute to a more loving, empowered, compassionate, embodied, and unified world. Yoga means “Union,” uniting breath, body, mind, heart, and soul in a journey of self-discovery.
Our programs invite students to explore beyond asana, diving into emotions, patterns, needs, and dreams. Our Yoga Teacher Training holds strong intentions for transformation, guiding students in spiritual exploration to connect with their purpose. We often hear prospective students say: “I don’t feel physically capable to practice yoga.”
We guide students through their healing journey to prepare them for empowering others, helping release what holds them back from their true path. School Yoga Institute’s YTT is an opportunity to reveal your inner wisdom and step into your purpose.
Our greatest passion as a Yoga School is to support the growth and expansion of humans’ horizons — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Our intention is to guide students through their own healing journey in order to better prepare them for healing others, letting go of anything that holds them back from what their hearts are truly called to.
We would be so honored to have you join us, just as you are!
JOIN SYI AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Join us in breathtaking and high-vibrational locations around the world
With the world’s largest rainforest ecosystem, the Amazon Rainforest spans 9 countries and is home to iconic species like the Jaguar, Macaw, Amazon River Dolphin, Black Spider Monkey, and Poison Dart Frog. By holding an estimated 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, its forests play a critical role in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, due to logging, unsustainable agriculture, and forest fires, it’s also a high-risk zone for deforestation and degradation.
Every graduate of our Yoga Teacher Training contributes to a better world. Through our partnership with One Tree Planted, we plant a tree for every student who completes their YTT, giving back to the earth that sustains us. All of our trainings are held in eco-conscious accommodations. At our beach locations, we frequently organize beach clean-ups and in all of our programs we promote and educate students on the health and ecological benefits of a largely plant-based diet.
