Start Your Journey Today
Find out how to become a yoga teacher from the comfort of your own home. My Vinyasa Practice is one of the original yoga schools offering online yoga teacher training and has been registered with Yoga Alliance since 2016. Our online yoga certifications provide students with a rich curriculum that helps to deepen their personal practice and gain the confidence to teach yoga.
If you’re looking to become a yoga teacher, look no further. All you need to do is register and log in to your account. Once logged in, you’ll immediately have access to all of the materials you’ll need and to a team of support teachers at your disposal seven days a week. Read through the introduction, and follow the steps to begin tracking your progress. You’ll move through the content at your own pace, and you can join us for a number of different Zoom sessions hosted daily. Once you complete training and have turned in your practicum materials you will receive individualized feedback within five business days, followed shortly by your certificate. At that point, you can register with Yoga Alliance or you can begin teaching publicly. We make online yoga teacher training accessible and affordable so that you can step into your authenticity as a teacher.
The MVP Difference
The online library of content is unparalleled. My Vinyasa Practice offers optional LIVE weekend lectures on a range of supplementary topics including accessible yoga, trauma-informed yoga, yoga for all bodies, diversity and inclusion in the yoga industry, starting a yoga business, and so much more. Each weekend lecture is different, and they are all recorded so that students who can’t join in person can participate on their own time.
We are committed to being the absolute best online yoga teacher training provider internally because we are the best at facilitating yoga teacher training and yoga therapy training in person. We believe that moving education online is an opportunity to provide absurdly high-quality content at a fraction of the cost of in-person yoga certification. In doing this we are uplifting the collective consciousness.
More Than A 200-Hour YTT
Our program is more than a 200-hour yoga certification. We leverage experiential pedagogy to help students integrate the ancient wisdom teachings that are covered in training off the mat so they can teach authentically. All of our teachers have decades of experience in personal practice and teach through the lens of application. Students have the opportunity to come to daily office hours hosted throughout the week where they can ask Lead Trainers questions, or work on asana alignment.

200 Hour Syllabus
Subtle Bodies |10 hours
Our training goes over the subtle bodies extensively, beginning with the Panchamaya Kosha system and moving into the chakra system. We look at the way the Nadi system overlays the Pranamaya Kosha and the chakras, and we look at the similarities between meridians and Nadis.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali | 10 hours
One of our core values is the integration of the philosophy of yoga into daily life. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the foundational text that explains the psychology, practice, and result of living a yogic lifestyle. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate the metacognitive aspects of yoga to help them come clean to their students. A fundamental skill of teaching yoga is to be able to hold space in a projection free way that allows for exploration and self-development of your students. The sutras are the foundation of this practice.
The History of Yoga | 10 hours
Teachers graduating from our school are taught about the history of yoga through the lens of Tantra and non-duality. Students will learn about the aspects of being and how yoga attempts to create harmony and union of the entire experience.
Meditation |30 hours
Teachers in training will be exposed to multiple types of meditation, including silent meditation, guided meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Teachers will graduate feeling comfortable teaching and facilitating pranayama, pratyahara, and meditation.
Yoga Anatomy & Physiology | 20 hours
Teachers in our 200-hour training learn the foundations of anatomy, including the way the axial and appendicular skeletons come together to create a container for the flow of prana. We look at the major joint systems in the body and how they relate to the asana we use to sequence vinyasa flow. We then look at the central nervous system and how the asanas impact the physical and energetic body to calm the mental body.
Sequencing Vinyasa Flow |30 hours
Our training teaches you how to break poses down into groups that have similar movements that complement one another. This allows you to put poses with similar functionality together quickly and easily to ensure safety and creativity. We teach beginner sequencing, all level sequencing, and advanced sequencing.
Mudra, Mantra, & Pranayama | 10 hours
Students will learn how to incorporate Mudra, Mantra, and Pranayama (breath practices) into their sequences and practice. Students learn the purpose and effect of each mudra, mantra, and pranayama practice and how they work with the nervous system and the marma points to help regulate the body.
Introduction To Meditation & Yoga Nidra | 10 hours
Students will learn about the subtle practices of Antaranga Yoga that yield meditative states of being, and they will learn how to teach their students how to access these states through mindfulness, pratyahara, and Yoga Nidra practice.Â
Yin & Restorative |10 hours
In our training, we give an overview of both yin and restorative yoga, and we explain their differences. Teachers graduating from our program will feel comfortable teaching both yin and restorative yoga.
Introduction to Prenatal |10 hours
Teachers in our 200 hour training will receive an introduction to prenatal and will be able to offer modifications to expectant mothers in all three trimesters.Â
Introduction to Ayurveda | 10 hours
In our 200 hour, teachers will receive an introduction to Ayurveda that explains the tattvas (elements), the tri-doshic system, the impact the seasons have on our constitutions, and Ayurvedic self-care routines.
Business of Yoga |10 hours
In our business of yoga module, teachers will learn how to write a business plan, evaluate perceived competition, run projections, and develop a sustainable brand. My Vinyasa Practice offers guaranteed job placement to all graduates.
Practicum | 20 hours
Practice teaching and planning sequences make up part of your practicum. The practicum culminates in a live class where the teacher offers a karma class. The lead trainer and fellow teachers in training provide feedback.
