What to Expect
Mighty Yoga’s 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training will provide the knowledge and experience to take your practice, and life, to the next level–whether you’re interested in teaching or not. You’ll have the opportunity to:
Deeply enrich yourself and open the door to change your life
Learn from incredibly knowledgeable, talented teachers from our community
Graduate with the skills and confidence to teach vinyasa yoga classes, if you choose to.
A Deeper Dive
Throughout the training, we will enhance our understanding of ancient yoga teachings and how they apply to our modern world via the study of yoga texts, expert guest teachers, and a variety of other sources.
Through these avenues, you will have the opportunity to delve into yoga philosophy in a way that will deepen and enhance your own yoga practice as well as your yoga teaching. Be prepared to leave the training feeling empowered both on and off the mat.
This training will provide you with a solid foundation in pose alignment, creative sequencing, and finding your authentic voice as a teacher. You will learn not only how to teach a yoga class, but how to create a safe and powerful yoga experience for your students. With daily teaching practice and attention to developing the skills of an effective teacher, you will leave the training equipped with all of the tools you need to teach and to feel confident doing so.
The training will cover:
Connecting to your intuition
Meditation & breathwork
Yoga history & philosophy
Chakra system & energy body
Yoga anatomy & physiology
Pose study & alignment
Smart, safe, creative, fun sequencing
Trauma-informed teaching
Finding your unique teaching voice and style
A Message from Heather Healey - Owner of Mighty Yoga & lead YTT instructor
This training is one of the most transformative programs we offer through Mighty.
We have been running small-group teacher trainings since 2014, and have graduated over 165 teachers. It is my intention to lead our trainees to connect more authentically to themselves and their practice through this training. We create a powerful community while on this journey together.
I’ve been teaching yoga for 17 years (over 2,000 classes & 10,000 students!) and I learn something new every time I step onto my mat or lead a class. There are so many beautiful and transformational aspects to this practice. There is nothing more powerful to me than leading a group of people who are moving and breathing (and often sweating!) together in a shared space - each with individual experiences on their mat.

We have a competitive applications process. Applications are accepted through 9/30. Scholarship winners will be chosen based on financial need and commitment to community impact through yoga. Apply Here
*Scholarship applicants must also fill out the Teacher Training application form.
Additionally, if you live in Vermont we encourage you to check out Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) need-based scholarship opportunities.
FAQs
-
Nope! We’ve had people join our training with just a few months of regular practice under their belt. We’ve also had people join who have stepped away from their practice and are using the training as a way to help come back. The only thing required is a deep desire to learn more about yoga.

The community we build during the weekends together throughout this training is truly an unmatched experience. We also focus on connecting the lessons back to yourself. We also strongly feel that if you want to teach in-person yoga classes, then you need to take an in-person yoga teacher training.

Magic! This was our 2025 graduates favorite part of their training. We bring everybody together from both studios for four days and step into this container where you don't have all of your regular roles and responsibilities that you're trying to juggle in and outside of our time together. In this time, we can dive into our study and forge deeper connections.
-
We have our weekends in person and beyond that you should plan to commit about 5 hours per week for the duration of the training which includes the Zoom sessions, homework, and taking classes at the studio. We hope that you step in & commit to the personal growth - the more you put in, the more you get out.

Yes! If teaching is something you’d like to do - we do A LOT of practice teaching, sequencing work, alignment, anatomy and cueing and all of that fun stuff that leads you into being able to teach a class. And at the end of the training, you will teach a class. This is something that we feel is really, really, really important - that you have all of the tools and the practice under your belt to be ready to jump in.
-
We offer partial need-based Inclusion Scholarships each training, as part of our commitment to help diversify the yoga teacher community, and in turn, the yoga community overall. (see Application above)
