22 Nights / 23 Days Immersion

The long-awaited Island Yoga 200-hr Teacher Training Program with Yoga Girl, Rachel Brathen, is finally here! We have created a 23-day immersion designed to fully prepare you to teach yoga from an authentic place of inspiration, education, creativity, and compassion. It is education with direct healing impact.

Created by Island Yoga’s founder, Rachel Brathen, this program is an intense culmination of her devoted asana practice and meditation, countless personal breakthroughs, thousands of hours in the yoga classroom, and the courage to shift her life and empower others through sharing honest experiences and teaching yoga.

Our program offers the highest standards of foundational yoga content & philosophy, anatomy & physiology,
and curious exploration into your personal layers – awakening your truth on every level. Unlike other Yoga Teacher Training programs, our program not only focuses on the physical elements of yoga, it centers around reconnecting to our deepest resources of self-awareness, empathy, and courageous motivation.
It is a journey. It is a process. It is a lifelong path that begins here.

Upon completion and passing of all examinations, you will receive an Island Yoga 200-Hr Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, giving you eligibility to register with globally recognized Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200.
