200-Hour Teacher Training
A devotion
to the craft.
Kodawari's 200-hour yoga teacher training, taught in South Tampa. Six months of practice, study and self-inquiry for people who want to guide others, or simply go deeper into their own practice.
The 2026 to 2027 cohort is in session. Dates for the next cohort are coming soon.
What you'll gain
A teaching voice
that's yours.
A journey of self-discovery built for adult learners. Through gentle self-inquiry and reflection, you explore how you meet challenges and leave with the tools to grow mentally, physically and emotionally.
You graduate able to lead a class with confidence: smart sequencing, clear cueing, theming and the presence to hold a room. About half of every cohort joins just to deepen their own practice. Both paths are welcome.
The curriculum · six modules
01
Asana + alignment
Postures broken down with anatomical precision. Learn to see bodies clearly and offer options that meet students where they are.
02
Sequencing + theming
The architecture of a thoughtful class. Sequences with intention, peak poses and themes that turn movement into meaning.
03
The art of cueing
Find your voice. Clear, generous language that guides without dictating and leaves room for students to find their own practice.
04
Philosophy + history
The yamas, niyamas, eight limbs and the long lineage you're stepping into. Why this practice has held for millennia.
05
Anatomy + physiology
Bones, muscles, fascia and breath. Trauma-informed and rooted in current science, including the nervous system's role in healing.
06
The teacher's path
The business of yoga, ethics, the teacher and student relationship, and what it means to keep showing up long after training ends.
Led by
Devoted practitioners.

What does the closing retreat involve?
A 2-day overnight at Kodawari Kamp. Practice teaching, integration, sauna, cold plunge, shared meals and a closing ceremony.
