200-Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training

At Sumits Yoga Littleton, our 200-hour teacher training program is designed for those ready to deepen their practice, empower others, and step into the role of yogi + guide. Whether you’ve long envisioned leading classes or simply want to elevate your own practice and understanding, this training offers the path.

Next Session Starting  April 2026

This training spans eight months, with one full weekend each month (typically the first weekend of the month), allowing you to integrate learning with your life, work and practice. This program must be completed in one-calendar year to receive your certification. Tuition is set at $2,500 for the full program.

Why This Training?

  • Earn your certification through Yoga Alliance while cultivating confidence, clarity and connection.
  • Learn inside a supportive community at our Littleton studio — and build friendships that extend far beyond the mat.
  • Gain the tools to instruct thoughtfully and safely, adapt for all bodies and skill levels, and bring your unique voice to teaching.
  • Grow personally through a purposeful blend of movement, breath, philosophy and self-exploration.

What You’ll Learn

Over the course of the training you’ll immerse yourself in:

  • Yoga philosophy & history: from ancient roots to present-day relevance
  • Anatomy & alignment: how the body moves, where it thrives — and how to teach safely
  • Teaching methodology: cueing, sequencing, voice, class flow, student engagement
  • Asana practice & adjustments: mastering key poses, understanding variations, hands-on assists
  • Pranayama & meditation: connecting breath, mind and body; cultivating presence
  • Ethics & the business of yoga: from yogic values to building your teaching practice
  • Modifications & special populations: making yoga accessible for all ages, body types and abilities

Who Should Apply?

  • Dedicated practitioners ready to commit to a deeper level of study and transformation.
  • Aspiring yoga instructors who wish to teach confidently, consciously and with heart.
  • Anyone who believes in the power of yoga for personal change, community and connection — even if teaching isn’t the main goal.
  • You do not need a definite “I will teach” plan to enroll; many join simply to deepen their own journey.
