Karen N.
“This course was perfect for me and my schedule: I work full time, have 2 kids, graduated, and loved how much Brett equipped us with a business mindset. Highly recommended to anyone interested in doing a YTT!”

Jenny S.
“I looked into so many different online trainings, but Uplifted’s course outline in the brochure kept pulling me back. There’s so much more offered in Brett’s training than others I looked at. It completely blew my expectations out of the water!”

Being a good yoga instructor has nothing to do with being able to do fancy, complex inversions or arm balances. That being said, a solid personal practice in which you do yoga regularly is required. Ideally, you love yoga and are practicing yoga postures daily, before this yoga instructor training even begins. Take a look at my monthly calendar, which has a daily yoga routine designed to help you build your yoga practice right from home.
You do not need to have completed a certain amount of hours before this training before this program begins. This is a full 200-Hour level yoga instructor training; no prior training is required. This training course is for yogis who aspire to change their lives, heal their body or become a registered yoga teacher. To learn more about the different levels of certification, read my blog post about the difference between 200-, 300-, and 500-hour yoga teacher training programs.

Yes. We are a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance, ID 197303. Our program exceeds all Yoga Alliance online training guidelines.
Keep in mind that Yoga Alliance is a private, nonprofit entity that is optional for teachers to pay to join. Yoga Alliance is not sanctioned by any local, state, or federal government. Paying Yoga Alliance to be listed in their directory is not a requirement to get insurance or be legally protected while teaching yoga. Our online teacher training includes detailed modules on how to best protect yourself legally while teaching yoga (either in-person, online, or via pre-recorded video streaming).
Yes, after Dec 31, 2023, Yoga Alliance will indefinitely sanction online trainings as long as they meet the new synchronous learning format standards (teachers and students gather online at the same to interact in real time). We have, for over 8 years, exceeded these hours in each of our yoga teacher training programs as follows:
Yes. We are officially sanctioned by ACE and approved as a continuing education provider. This makes Uplifted a great option for personal trainers and fitness instructors!
Unlike most online schools, Uplifted has submitted and met additional requirements to be sanctioned through ACE, NSAM and AFAA. Below are the CEC & CEU details for Personal Trainers, Fitness Instructors and Wellness Professionals.
ACE (American Council on Exercise): 20 CECs
NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine): 1.9 CEUs
AFAA (Athletic + Fitness Association of America): 15 CEUs
To graduate from the 200-Hour program you must: (1) Pass the online multiple choice exam (2) Complete a final teaching practicum by sending in a 20-min video of you teaching. (3) Complete the attendance requirements. Don’t worry if you’ve never filmed a yoga video before. We’ll guide and walk you through how to film your practicum, step-by-step.
You may choose to defer your enrollment to the following training class anytime up to 30 days prior to the start of training. This is free of charge . Simply let us know via email. Within 30 days of the start of training, enrollment has closed. We can no longer accept deferrals at this time. If you do choose to defer within 30 days of the start of your training or after training has begun, there’s $550 deferment fee to transfer to the next class.
Yes, you can teach privates, corporates, yoga studios, and obtain insurance (module on how to secure your insurance is included in the training) and/or start your own Youtube channel or online yoga business. If you need a letter of recommendation from Brett for a particular teaching job, this can be provided.
This training program definitely prepares you for traditional yoga routes, but if you’d like to venture into teaching online courses, running your own yoga business, or learning how to market yourself as a yoga instructor, then check out the 300-hour yoga teacher training program where Brett teaches ALL of that! The 200-hour program is required before the 300-hour.
Yes. Through our partnership with beYogi, which offers the best support and coverage in the yoga insurance industry, you even have the option to purchase a student policy right at the start of training. We also offer insurance suggestions for International students.

This course is fully accredited by Yoga Alliance, ACE, NASM and AFAA. You will get RYT 200 status with your certification.
“I’m disappointed and concerned that Yoga Alliance has decided not to monitor online yoga teacher training class size, nor student-teacher ratio. Our program continues to exceed Yoga Alliance’s requirements for an RYS 200 Online Yoga School. Our certification process ensures the highest-quality 200 RYT credential, far beyond what Yoga Alliance has outlined.”

Please download the brochure above to see exact dates and call times for upcoming trainings. Below are current call times we’ve found work best for students all over the world.

This is what makes this program so unique and interactive, and helps you make lifelong friends with your fellow classmates!

If you fall behind, you can still graduate as long as you complete all the requirements within 18 months of your start date and attend the required number of live calls. This is not your typical “self-study” online course in which you have no interaction or oversight. This program is HIGHLY interactive and designed to foster a sense of community among participants, with lots of direct access to Brett. We are dedicated to your success!
Request the syllabus above for a breakdown of what’s covered, week-by-week. The majority of our time will be spent covering anatomy, philosophy, reviewing one another’s yoga poses to practice teaching within the group. However, this training covers a significant amount on finding business success with yoga as well. This will include teaching methodology, how to market yourself as a yoga teacher, and where to find yoga students.
Yes. Kristin Leal author of Meta Anatomy™ co-teaches Anatomy with Brett. Jennifer Hall, Brett’s lead RYT 500-Hour trainer teaches core Uplifted Yoga alignment principles and sanskrit. Several other guest experts who are beloved by Brett will present modules as well.
Yes. Please budget $75 in total to acquire the Uplifted Teacher Training Manual and two required reading books. The literature will support both your teaching practice and your personal yoga practice. Whether you decide to teach yoga in a yoga studio or you’re simply looking to deepen your practice through this online yoga instructor course, these materials will support you. Otherwise, I recommend a list of yoga books to help further your study.
Yes! Yoga teacher trainees will have their own Facebook group that Brett also moderates heavily. We offer deep community support throughout your instructor certification program so that you can continue to learn and grow, even when you’re not in class.
You can pay with a credit card or PayPal. All pricing is listed in US dollars and payments will automatically be converted to US dollars if you are paying with another currency.
Yes. Many students choose to enroll in our interest-free payment plan options. Please download the full training brochure above for tuition, dates, and details, as well as information on our interest-free payment plans. With all online yoga teacher training plans, your billing cycle will be based on your initial payment date. You can choose any date prior to the deadline. For example: if you choose the 12-month plan and submit your first payment on October 15th, the subsequent payments will process on the 15th of each following month.
Of course! Good thinking! If you are already a yoga teacher or in a profession in which yoga certification could enhance your business (aka a massage practitioner, nutritionist, or similar), your tuition could be tax deductible. Please check with your accountant.
