The Teacher Training (TT) Experience

Since 2012 we have shared the light of yoga and graduated over 175 students from our 200 hour program, and more from our advanced 300 hour program!

Ora Yoga RYS is directed by Michelle Prosper. Michelle designs yoga experiences that empower her students through intention and mindful awareness.

Teacher training is an incredible experience whether you decide to teach or not.  During training you will learn to embody the flow of poses, of breath and of mindful living. The training puts all the pieces of yoga together in one place.

Ora Yoga School is a Yoga Alliance® Certified Registered Yoga School (RYS®) offering both 200 hour and 300 hour teacher training programs.

The 200 hour training is Vinyasa-based Teacher Training program which relates to all. Through physical, mindful and educational learning, Ora gives you the awareness to empower yourself while improving the lives of others. 

The supportive environment of Ora Yoga's teacher training allows each student the space for personal growth and freedom to explore their own path within a group and the group's 200 hour structure.
