Why In Bloom?
What makes this training different.
- Ten mats. That's it.
Cohorts are capped at ten so nobody learns from the back of the room. Your lead trainers know your practice, your patterns, and your name.
- Mentorship, not just instruction.
Your lead trainers act as personal coaches through the whole program. And our advanced cohort mentors the 200-hour trainees, so you're learning from people one step ahead of you as well as decades ahead.
- Philosophy that shows up on the mat.
Ancient texts and ethics aren't a Sunday-afternoon module here. They're woven through sequencing, cueing, and how you hold a room.
- A practice, not a pause.
Tuition includes 25 mat classes at the studio, so you're practicing while you're studying — the way it's meant to work.
200-Hour Certification · Yoga Alliance RYS-200
Weekend Immersion
One weekend a month. Eight months. A hundred hours together on the mat.
This is teacher training for people with full lives. You won't take a leave of absence, step back from work, or hand your family off for a month. You'll show up one weekend a month for eight months and be genuinely different by the end of it.
The format pairs traditional yogic wisdom with modern teaching methodology, and the space between weekends is where a lot of the growth happens — reading, journaling, e-learning, and your own practice on the mat.

Your last four weekends overlap with the start of our 300-hour advanced cohort, and they spend those weekends mentoring you. That means extra hands, extra eyes, and people one step ahead of you who remember exactly what this part felt like — on top of your lead trainers.
