200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
A Deeper Journey. A More Meaningful Path.
Deepen Your Practice. Discover Your Voice. Transform Your Journey.
Yoga teacher training is more than learning how to teach yoga. It is an invitation to explore the practice beyond the physical postures, deepen your understanding of yoga, and discover something new about yourself.
At Almaden Yoga, our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in San Jose brings together yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, movement, meditation, and the art of teaching in a supportive and engaging environment.
Whether your dream is to become a yoga teacher or simply deepen your personal practice, this journey is for you.
More Than a Certification
For over 16 years, Almaden Yoga has been a place for learning, connection, and personal growth. With six teacher trainings and more than 60 graduates, we have helped students discover their confidence, deepen their knowledge, and find their own path in yoga.
Our approach combines traditional yoga wisdom with modern teaching techniques, encouraging curiosity, self-discovery, and authentic expression.
We believe that great teachers don’t all look, move, or teach alike. They bring their own experiences, personalities, and perspectives to the mat.
Our goal is to help you find your voice—not teach you to imitate someone else’s.
What You’ll Explore
Yoga Philosophy & History
Discover the roots of yoga, explore the Yoga Sutras, and learn how ancient wisdom can enrich modern life.
Anatomy & Alignment
Understand how the body moves, explore key yoga postures, and learn to create a thoughtful and accessible practice.
Teaching Techniques
Develop confidence in your voice, communication, cueing, observation, and ability to guide others.
The Art of Sequencing
Learn to design creative, balanced, and purposeful yoga classes that flow with intention.
Pranayama & Meditation

The Business of Yoga
Gain insight into building your path as a yoga teacher, from developing your teaching style to understanding the professional side of yoga.
You Don’t Have to Want to Teach
Some students begin yoga teacher training with a clear dream of becoming a yoga instructor. Others join because they love yoga and want to understand it more deeply.
Both journeys are equally valuable.
Along the way, you may discover new confidence, meaningful friendships, a deeper connection to your practice, and possibilities you hadn’t imagined.
Learn. Practice. Connect. Grow.
One of the most meaningful parts of teacher training is the community you build.
Through shared learning, practice teaching, conversations, challenges, and discoveries, you’ll grow alongside others who share your curiosity and love of yoga.
And long after the training ends, the knowledge, friendships, and experiences continue to be part of your journey.
Your Journey Begins Here
Whether you are ready to teach or simply ready to explore yoga on a deeper level, we invite you to take the next step.
