Special Announcement
We will host two YTT200 programs in 2025.
One is offered entirely synchronously online; the other offers a mixed format of approximately 80 hours in person at Stanford and the rest online.
1. From January to June 2025, we will host a YTT200 that will be fully synchronously online. It will meet mostly on Saturdays, with the exception of once a month, when we will also meet on Sunday. The Program will start the weekend of January 18 and will end the weekend of June 8. More details will be announced soon; applications are now open (see link below).
2. From late July or early August to early December 2025, we will host a YTT200 that will be offered in a hybrid format, with a long weekend (~50-hours) onsite at Stanford in summer and a final onsite weekend (~30 hours) in winter. All sessions between these two weekend will be delivered synchronously online on Saturdays. Check back in Fall 2024 for additional details about this 2025 hybrid program.
Total Tuition Cost $3,500
Tuition can be paid in two installments of $1,750. The first payment is due upon approved application (and reserves your spot); the second payment is due by the starting date of the second 100hr term. For YogaX payment procedures and refund policies, click here.
Stanford employees can use their STAP funds to help with tuition but our YTT does not qualify for tuition reimbursement programs because it is a certificate program not a degree program.

The 2025 Schedule is coming soon.
The 2025 200Hr YTT program will span across 6 months from February to July. It is a hybrid training with one to two in-person weekends on the Stanford campus. All other events are offered synchronously online.
The program requires a big time commitment and we ask that all trainees do their best to attend all sessions to optimize their take-away from the program.
