Strongheart’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
Our next session begins in January 2026
Learning to plan together.
At Strongheart, our goal is to train qualified, confident, caring teachers of yoga in a warm, supportive environment. Our 200HR Yoga Teacher Training program makes the physical and mental benefits of yoga accessible, and trains teachers to teach with confidence, understanding, and compassion.
Personal attention and encouragement are our guiding principles as students deepen their understanding and learn to share it with others.
Our curriculum includes all of the 200-hour certification components for Yoga Alliance. Upon completion of requirements, students are qualified to register with Yoga Alliance as a RYT-200 level teacher.

In these uncertain times we know we all worry about costs and there are online programs that look like a bargain. But there’s no substitute for learning face-to-face with people and a teacher you really get to know. We want to make realizing your yoga goal possible for everyone.

Words from a previous trainee at Strongheart:
“The Strongheart Teacher Training is a wonderful well-rounded program that dives deep
into the history and philosophy of yoga, while also making sure that the physical asana
are understood and embodied! The pacing and schedule of the program allowed me to
explore my interest in teaching yoga alongside having a busy life schedule. I felt supported
the entire time, and it gave me a great foundation from which I feel confident to go out there
and share the joy of yoga with others.”
~Danika Sames RYT, recent graduate Strongheart 200HR Training.
And if you want to understand more about yoga
but teaching yoga isn’t your goal!
Consider our 50hr DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE training.
This 4-week Deepen Your Practice advanced yoga training guides students in a supported exploration of this ancient practice, with all of its physical and mental benefits. We’ll explore the asana, philosophy, health, and lifestyle foundations of yoga.
The training schedule will include three live-stream Friday classes and four in-person Saturday afternoons classes as well as a 2 hour session about Ayurveda with a finale luncheon.
This 50HR program can stand alone and students will receive a certificate of completion.
It will also qualify for 50 hours of CEU credits with Yoga Alliance if you previously took a 200hr training (with us or elsewhere), but feel like it might be time to refresh or renew your learning.

From one of our students
”I really enjoyed the teachings and the structure. I read a lot of reviews for different teacher trainings before hand and a lot of people said they wouldn't feel comfortable teaching afterwards. I still have more to learn of course but I do think that the way it's laid out gives enough information to start planning and teaching classes.” ~Jenna Sassin RYT

…And more reviews from our wonderful students
“Thank you for sharing your passion for yoga with me over the last few months. I could not have chosen a better time in my life to dive deeper into my practice and it has truly transformed my life. I’m forever grateful for your guidance.”
“My teacher training experience at Strongheart Yoga was amazing. Pattie, the owner and instructor of the studio, made a positive difference in my life and practice. Her knowledge, warmth and passion about yoga inspired me not only to learn, but to find my voice as a person and as a yoga teacher. Thank you Pattie for seeing me as a unique individual and helping achieve my goal.”
“With just a desire to know more about this practice that came to be so important to me, I registered for teacher training at Strongheart. And with a push from teachers, who trusted me more than I sometimes trusted myself, I realized I might be meant to share yoga with others.”
Off they go to share the practice! Color Pattie proud.
from the program instructor
“Over my 25 years of consistent yoga practice, I have felt yoga’s power to keep me grounded and at ease with who I most truly am. And with almost 20 years of teaching others, I’ve seen yoga awaken people to what’s possible for them when they break out of time-worn physical and mental habits that aren’t serving them. Teaching and studying yoga is an exchange between individuals searching for answers to our most fundamental human questions. I’m so honored to be a step on the journey of so many bright souls. ”
Pattie McCann, ERYT-500 & YACEP
Founder of Strongheart Yoga of Warren
