What is a 100-Hour Training and Who is it For?
A 100 hour yoga teacher training delivers the same high-quality instruction and depth as a full YTT, but in a shorter, intensive format—usually around two weeks.
For Yoga Teachers
- Add new skills to your teaching toolkit—like Yin, Flow, trauma-informed methods, meditation, or advanced sequencing.
- Expand your offerings so you can reach more students and meet diverse needs.
- Learn from senior teachers who bring decades of global teaching experience.
- Earn continuing education hours and enhance your credentials.
For Passionate Practitioners
- Immerse yourself fully in daily practice, philosophy, and breathwork.
- Explore new styles to see what resonates with you.
- Decide if teaching might be your path—without committing to a full certification.
- Enjoy a retreat experience in stunning destinations while deepening your self-awareness.
Whether your goal is to enhance your classes or simply deepen your own relationship with yoga, a 100-hour yoga teacher training in Thailand or Sri Lanka retreat offers the ideal balance of learning, practice, and transformation.
