WHY HIRE A PYI GRADUATE

With over 37 million Americans practicing yoga, and a continued integration of yoga into medicine and corporate life, the need for well-trained teachers is on the rise.  

However, the U.S. yoga industry standard of training for “yoga teachers” is a mere 200 hours.  Given that it takes at least 500 hours training in the State of New York to become a barber, we feel that this standard is shockingly low.

Yoga Teachers and Therapists* train at PYI to gain better tools, better knowledge, and to be better prepared to teach yoga to diverse populations.  All trainings are conducted in a traditional manner, focusing on evidence-informed techniques.

• PYI Yoga Teachers have completed a minimum of 100 hours additional training in teaching yoga to diverse populations.

• PYI RYT500 Yoga Teachers have completed a minimum of 500 hours training total, including teaching yoga to diverse populations.  Training includes therapeutic essentials, mindfulness, meditation, and more.

• PYI Yoga Therapists have completed 1,050 hours minimum of training, over at least 2 years, including 225 hours of Practicum.  In addition to the above, PYI Yoga Therapists can assess clients and alter teaching to optimize healing and recovery when there is an imbalance present. Clients must first be cleared by a medical professional to practice yoga or meditation.  

Our certified PYI teachers and yoga therapists have or currently teach in medical facilities, residences and corporate events including:
