Promoting the creation of a more inclusive Yoga community

The Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco recognizes the structural and institutional racism in Yoga and wellness communities, and acknowledges the lack of diverse representation in our Yoga classes.In an effort to work toward dismantling this systemic racism and injustice, IYI SF is offering a scholarship-based Yoga teacher training for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who are interested in becoming yoga teachers. It is our hope that by encouraging a diverse range of teaching voices, we can create safe spaces where all students can feel represented and welcomed.

*This Integral Yoga Basic Yoga Teacher Training (TT) program would typically be priced at $2700. Our new BIPOC scholarship fund enables us to reduce the price of this all-BIPOC TT to $1080. Additional scholarships are available. Please consider what will make this commitment financially accessible to you and include that in your completed application. It is our goal to ensure that no one is turned away for lack of funds.

Yoga Alliance Hours: 200

This teacher training will consist of 100% BIPOC teacher trainers and participants.
Our Yoga Teacher Training program has been training teachers and changing lives since 1981. The training provides a strong foundation for personal and spiritual development, as well as the skills necessary to become a confident, knowledgeable Yoga instructor. Whether you want to teach others or take your own practice to a deeper level, this training will provide you with an authentic experience of living Yoga.

Program Details
Racism and oppression have detrimental impacts on the body, mind, and spirit. People of color living at the intersection of racism and sexism, homophobia, and/or heterosexism face unique challenges. The goal of this program is to work towards dismantling systemic racism and injustice by: training more women, men, queer, and genderqueer Yoga teachers of color; making the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of Yoga more accessible to BIPOC communities; and promoting the creation of conscious, diverse and supportive Yoga communities.

Integral Yoga uses an inward, spiritually-focused form of Hatha Yoga to lead students to an experience of inner peace and greater awareness. To prepare teachers to lead students inward, our Yoga Teacher Training program offers a balance of theory and practice on a broad range of topics. Graduates are certified to teach Beginner Level Hatha Yoga and are qualified to register with Yoga Alliance as a RYT-200.

Support and Community
The trainees are supported as they develop skills to teach a full class. They receive weekly guidance during practice sessions from our mentoring staff. Graduates of our program may apply to teach at the Integral Yoga Institute. If accepted, they receive additional free training with a mentor and ongoing continuing education.

This training program included free access to all Yoga classes offered at Integral Yoga San Francisco and you will receive free access to IYTV, a large and ever-expanding library of recorded Integral Yoga Teachings, throughout the duration of this training!

The Curriculum
The Teacher Training program offers thorough training in asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and physiology. It also includes many hours of training in yoga teaching methodology, including how to make adjustments, teach yoga workshops, and more. Graduates receive a certificate to teach Beginner Level Hatha Yoga.

Online
We are committed to providing a safe and high quality program for all participants. Our graduates will develop skills to teach in person or online. The Yoga Alliance criteria about training teachers online is adapting as we move forward. We have dedicated staff to oversee the online coaching to have personal connections throughout the training.
