YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Teaching yoga through a social justice framework.

 
 
 

YogaRoots On Location® Certified Raja Yoga Teacher Training is a collective liberation and anti-oppression training offered through the Yoga Alliance's 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) Certification. 

 

In this 13-month training, each objective is rooted in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, which detail our Raja Yoga's 8-Limbed Path of study. Our training centers unconditional love, self-study, and communal care as antidotes to internalized oppression. 

All training sessions take place over Zoom to support access and accessibility.

This virtual training integrates systems-based and trauma-sensitive frameworks with the Raja Yoga practices of behavioral observances and restraints, movement, breath awareness, sensory awareness, concentration, meditation, and self-realized purpose.

Together, we build community so that we can courageously and vulnerably explore our hearts, histories, and actions through collective healing. 

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2026-2027!
