“There was so much value, it's hard to choose one. I suppose the physical and mental growth that happened for me during this training, the community that was built with my fellow trainees, and how the training helped me grow as a teacher- these were all gems. Our trainees really cared and were very generous with their time and knowledge, and I am so grateful! Also, I love how we dove so deeply into the philosophy of yoga!”

Summer S

“There is honestly so much that it’s a hard question to answer. Ultimately, the course showed us how to conquer difficulties, insecurities, and step into our power. We all can lead people to the end goal but how they get there is a personal and special journey. So happy to have gone through this with the amazing teachers we had and the support from the whole class and community.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there a payment plan for the training?

Yes! We understand that this can be a big financial commitment and we can work with you to ease the burden of one lump sum payment by partnering with Affirm.com or paying through Shop Pay.

Could I go through teacher training even if I don't want to teach?

Absolutely! There are many students who go through teacher training without the intention of teaching. A Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is about far more than learning to teach—it’s an opportunity to deepen your practice, find your community, and experience meaningful personal growth. Whether you’re curious about yoga philosophy, exploring a new career path, or simply seeking a stronger connection to yourself and others, YTT offers a supportive, communal environment to explore your physical, mental, and spiritual potential.

Through study of asana, breathwork, anatomy, meditation, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, and the lifestyle, ethics, and business of yoga, you’ll expand your understanding of the practice while pushing past perceived limits of mind and body. Many students leave with greater confidence, clarity, and a more spiritually rooted practice, along with leadership skills and the ability to communicate and guide others with intention and authenticity. Most importantly, YTT is a deeply personal journey—one that invites self-discovery, emotional awareness, and a stronger connection between mind, body, and breath, empowering you to show up more fully both on and off the mat.

Will I get to teach for Hot 8 Yoga after the training?

It is the intention of the Hot 8 teacher training program to produce amazing teachers! We offer a mentorship program after the training with opportunities to teach community classes. These opportunities will create a strong foundation for you to start your teaching career.

If I miss classes, will I be able to make them up?

To get the most out of the training and to support your fellow trainees, it is important that you attend each session. You are responsible for making up the hours you miss. You can talk to your trainer to set up a makeup.

Do I have to have an advanced practice to be able to teach?

Everyone's practice will be at different levels. The important thing is that you bring an eager want to learn and ability to share what you have learned with your students.

Am I able to teach at other studios with the certification from Hot 8 Yoga?

After completion of all hours, you will earn a certificate and be able to continue with mentorship and/or audition to teach at Hot 8 Yoga. Other studios may allow you to audition and teach at their discretion.

How many classes per week are you required to take?

For our 60-hour programs, you will have to take an additional 3 classes per week and for our 200-hour programs, you will have to take an additional 2 classes per week. This can be done at any of our locations. Therefore, including the classes during your scheduled teacher training, you will be taking 5 classes total per week.

Are you allowed to take classes other than the style you’re training in?

It is most beneficial to take classes in the training style in which you are getting certified. This will help facilitate the training process.
