The Octopus Garden Teacher Training and Yoga Education program is a comprehensive 500-hour curriculum divided into two segments: 200-hours and 300-hours. Each component may be taken individually or together as part of a one-year program of study. Begin with the fundamentals of self-practice and then expand your teaching skills in the second component.

This program is the most extensive and rigorous teacher training of its kind and exceeds the highest standards of the Yoga Alliance. Successful graduates of this program can apply for RYT-200, RYT-300, or RYT-500 status. We also offer continuing eduation credits through specialized programs such as 50-hour Restorative Teacher Training, 40-hour Pre/Post Natal Teacher Training, 20-hour Pranayama Teacher Training and 50-hour Mindfulness (Meditation) Teacher Training program.

Our programs are accredited by the federal government. Official tuition income tax receipts will be issued upon completion of the 200‑Hour Fundamentals program and the 300‑Hour Advanced Teaching program. Have any questions about the program?
