Yoga Pearl 500-Hour Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Training

Yoga Pearl is proud to announce the first Yoga Alliance approved 500hr advanced teacher training in Portland. This training is meant for the serious Vinyasa teacher wanting to deepen their knowledge and strengthen their skills as a teacher. This program will be done in modules. You must complete all 4 modules to receive your certification but you can start at any module. This is a 300hr add-on for those who already have a 200hr training. You must have a 200hr certification to be eligible for the 500hr certification, but need not be from Yoga Pearl. As with our 200hr training we guarantee that each module will have no more than 20 teacher trainers so that every student will receive individual attention for proficiency.

200-Hour Power Vinyasa Teacher Training

Our Yoga Pearl Power Vinyasa Teacher Training is designed to build a strong foundation for teachers. This 200-hour Yoga Alliance approved teacher training begins with a week long retreat on the gorgeous Whidbey Island near Seattle and concludes with a week long retreat in Mexico. This well-rounded program emphasizes anatomy, alignment and adjustments with the inclusion of a detox and an introduction to holistic health. We will also enjoy a special Sanskrit immersion with two of the finest Sanskrit teachers, David and Cheryl Oliver.
