300h YTT | 2026

The Masters is what comes next. We believe in the power of working and growing together; our entire training is held in person at our EAST studio, and each weekend includes time to learn, teach, and connect with both your peers and yourself. We will video record your teaching at times throughout the course to offer feedback, inspiration, and the opportunity to see yourself and witness your progress.  Our monthly modules are designed to continue the growth from your 200hr training, and take it up a notch.  WAY up! You will complete a 20-hour Karma Project to nurture other communities, as well as design a Business Project to nurture your own. Each weekend includes Sacred Circle – a check-in time that is a foundational part of the process where we explore the intricacies of where teaching and living-yoga-off-the-mat meet. To be accepted, all applicants must be 200-hour certified, be passionate, and a willing seeker of growth, both personally and professionally. You do not need to be a registered yoga teacher, do not need to be certified by Annie Q, and do not need to be currently teaching.  This is your opportunity to explore, experiment, participate, dig deep and rise tall!
