100% Life Changing
You look out at your classroom and see your fellow teacher trainees, with whom you have deep bonds despite having met only 4 months ago. There they are, resting blissfully in Savasana. You take a deep breath and shift your focus to yourself. You feel stronger and more flexible - but its more than than. You are grounded. More relaxed. More present. This could be you in just 4 months.

Here's what our graduates have to say
Humor, light, dedication, and community are fully present at Harlem Yoga Studio’s YTT.
Danielle B - 2020
"Yoga Teacher Training at Harlem Yoga Studio was a really unique and wonderful experience! Erica, Amy and Vijay provided so much personalized guidance during our “pandemic training,” and really went out of their way to make sure the flow of the training worked for everyone. Erica, Amy, and Vijay each provide a different lens to yoga which complements each other well and gives students the opportunity to learn varying styles. Upholding the integrity of the ancient practice was clear in the emphasis on Sanskrit and mediation being interwoven throughout the class, and the sutras as pillars of the practice. The social justice and trauma-informed yoga trainings were impactful and an important reason why I chose HYS - they practice what they preach. Humor, light, dedication, and community are fully present at Harlem Yoga Studio’s YTT. Hope this gives you an idea of how great this YTT is."
"Harlem Yoga Studio’s Yoga Teacher Training changed my life! No joke! "
Wendell O - 2022
"Harlem Yoga Studio’s Yoga Teacher Training changed my life! No joke! I had just turned 50 and was in desperate need of a change of pace. Luckily, I had a friend who knew Amy, one of the teachers at HYS. I met with her and as soon as she described the HYS Training I knew it was for me. Aside from the regular asanas and terminology, we learned about trauma informed yoga, anti-racism, prenatal yoga, restorative and so, so much more. It was also a bonding experience with my fellow students and the teachers that built a whole new community for me. I cannot possibly recommend this training enough!!"
I’ve been so grateful for the ongoing support of my teachers and peers. Their dedication to investigating and sharing wisdom and joy through the tools of yoga continues to inspire me”
JESS C. - 2017
"I entered teacher training at Harlem Yoga not only to solidify my practice and prepare to begin teaching, but also to deepen my commitment to a studio community where I saw my values reflected and put into action: kindness, strength, humility, and acceptance. Since taking that leap, I've been so grateful for the ongoing support of my teachers and peers. Their dedication to investigating and sharing wisdom and joy through the tools of yoga continues to inspire me, and I have nothing but fondness and appreciation for the three months we spent together during training and all that has come since."
Our Philosophy and Teaching Style
Since 2016, Harlem Yoga Studio has offered one of the most in-depth and actionable trainings in New York City.
Our Teacher Training prioritizes community and ensures equity and anti-racism is forefront in the Yoga Room.
We are Trauma-Informed and practically applicable to the real world. When complete you will be able to teach confidently and use your knowledge of the 8 limbs of Yoga in your day-to-day life. It is also, quite simply, FUN!
Our training is special because:
-
We have one of lowest student-to-teacher ratios in the city (never more than 1 trainer to 6 students).
-
This ensures each trainee receives ample attention and guidance throughout.
-
-
Our training incorporates the (proven!) understanding that one of the best ways to learn is to teach.
-
Trainees begin practice teaching from the beginning of the program to ensure that the material is truly within you.
-
-
Your experience in Teacher Training will deepen your understanding of ourselves.
-
The depth of practice you will experience through physical poses, breath, and meditation will help you to become present with discomfort rather than react to it unconsciously.
-
Both the physical practice, and the philosophy we study will give you the tools and support to look inward with grace and kindness.
-
-
Training is weekly for consistency, with Intensive containers to go deep.
-
The continuity of a weekly practice over several months helps ensure you have the time and space for the knowledge to become embodied.
-
Our weekend intensives foster a safe and immersive community to grow together and form life-long bonds with your fellow Teacher Trainees.
-
Ready to teach? We welcome our TT graduates!

Previous TT graduates say it best
“They have created a training that is a haven and a safe space. Erica, Amy, and Vijay along with the teachers that are brought in opened my eyes, mind and heart “
ANGELA B - 2018
" I googled “yoga training NYC” and Harlem Yoga Studio popped up. It was meant to be. I live in the neighborhood, and I had taken my son to the toddler and me classes when the studio opened 10 years ago. I immediately signed up and the training was above and beyond what I expected. The teachers are aHHHmazing. I learned about yoga asanas (poses) and philosophy. In all my years of fitness, I always went to the fast, high-energy classes. This training taught me that the yoga my body needs was not the yoga I had been chasing. They have created a training that is a haven and a safe space. Erica, Amy, and Vijay along with the teachers that are brought in for the specials opened my eyes, mind and heart to so much beyond “fitness”. Yoga is a powerful tool for connecting people and Harlem Yoga Studio is dedicated to its students and the community."
“The retreat is an incredible opportunity to step outside of your daily life ”
CORINNE F
"I'm so happy I decided to pursue my 200 hour YTT at the Harlem Yoga Studio. Erica, Amy and Vijai are such incredible instructors: patient, hands-on, well versed in both the spiritual and practical aspects of yoga, open to being challenged and full of modifications that make practice accessible. The training resources are well chosen, the retreat is an incredible opportunity to step outside of your daily life and develop a deeper understanding of the meditative aspects of the practice. I've gone on to do my 30 hour Kids and Teens training and know there are many more trainings in my future. The 200 hour YTT at Harlem Yoga Studio is only the beginning of my journey, and it has been a wonderful way to start."
