Teacher Training
Our 200-hour yoga teacher training is a Yoga Alliance accredited course in Hot Yoga, the Hot 26 & 2 series (the Bikram method), and Vinyasa Flow. Three weekends of coursework, then a seven day destination immersion. Graduate eligible to register as an RYT 200.
Yoga Alliance accredited, RYT 200
This is a 200-hr teacher training for people who want to teach, and for people who simply want to understand their practice all the way down. You do not have to arrive planning to make a career of it. Beginners, longtime students, and working teachers all have a place in the room.
You will study Hot 26 & 2 (the original 26 postures and two breathing exercises taught in the Bikram method), Vinyasa and Power Yoga, plus Restorative, Yin, and Prenatal. Days move between meditation, guided practice, yoga history and philosophy, anatomy, supervised teaching practice, asana technique, and the business of yoga.
The course runs about six months end to end. It opens in late fall with study groups, required reading, and your dialogue book, builds through three coursework weekends in late winter, and finishes with a week of immersion, teaching every day.
The Coursework
Weekends sit three weeks apart, so there is room to practice, read, and absorb between them. Attend in person or join virtually if you are training from out of town.
Trainees are asked to take around six classes a week through the program and to practice teaching in live classes along the way.
The Immersion
After the coursework, choose where you finish. Either immersion carries seven nights of lodging, all meals, and daily practice, with pricing from $3,695.
A private beach reached by boat, at the sister retreat of Xinalani: ocean view rooms, a yoga shala, and beachside dining. Two ninety minute classes a day with Bikram-trained teachers carrying more than 35 years of combined experience, finishing with a test out where you teach a full Hot 26 class. You leave ready to teach the original 26 postures and two breathing exercises anywhere in the world.
From $3,695
Rising Wolf Retreat, on the edge of Glacier National Park. Days are built around practice, supervised teaching, and the mountains: hikes, mountain biking, lake paddles, and cold plunges, with shared evening meals. A Vinyasa-focused immersion for teachers who want to build intelligent, breath-linked sequences of their own.

Tuition & Next Steps
Tuition starts at $3,695 and covers the coursework weekends and your immersion week, including seven nights of lodging and all meals. A $500 deposit is included in tuition and holds your spot.
Tuition is refundable up to 60 days before the training. After that, the $500 deposit is not refunded unless your spot is filled, since teachers, facilities, and retreat centers are paid upfront.
On passing, you earn your 200-hour certification and are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200).
If you have been searching for hot yoga teacher training, Bikram teacher training, a Hot 26 or 26+2 certification, or a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 program, this is that course. It is equally a home for Vinyasa practitioners who want a serious grounding in anatomy, philosophy, and sequencing.
Sealevel Hot Yoga has been Seattle's original hot yoga studio for over 30 years, in the Fremont neighborhood. The training draws on teachers who studied directly with Bikram alongside teachers rooted in Vinyasa and Power Yoga, so you graduate able to hold a heated room and a flowing one.
