A MAP TO SELF
8-Weekend Intensives at our home studio in Baltimore, MD
Welcome to Arrow Yoga's In Person 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. We are proud and devoted practitioners of this ancient system and serve as stewards, transmitting the knowledge that has been passed on to us, with utmost reverence.
Our interest in guiding a 200 hour is not just in providing the knowledge of yoga, but to give you access to it's lived experience. Through more than 16 + weeks, you will be in an immersive and rigorous study of yoga, to learn how to lead the more modern approach of the physical based practices, while steeping yourself into research of its historic origins.
As we share our interpretations of yoga, we are also dedicated to honoring yoga's ancient practitioners, and the literature they left for us to reference.
This program isn't just about learning how to teach, but more so, learning how to practice.
You will walk away learning how to facilitate a vinyasa based class, while also learning how to lead traditional techniques for pranayama, and meditation.
Beyond teaching, we emphasize self study and practice as a guiding principle to our studentship and our personal growth. Join us if you are ready to steep yourself into an in depth study of your yoga, and you.
Read below to learn if this program is right for you.
"I feel like I have received the most holistic version of YTT available - it was spiritual, physical, emotional, mental ... POWERFUL. I would recommend this training to anyone. I love being held to a high level in trainings, because it makes me feel like I am getting the most out of my time and investment. You exceeded expectations."
The heart & essence of the training
PROGRAM FORMAT
Throughout the course of this training you will learn the fundamentals of your asana practice, aim inwards through meditation and activate your authentic power through self study.Your training will be broken down into 8 modules (& intensive weekends), with each module inspired by one of the 7 chakras, plus an additional module focused on assimilating all of the knowledge learned and it’s application.
The chakra system is an ancient architectural blueprint for understanding the energetics of mind-body-spirit and will serve as a symbolic and organizational component to the design of our training. Each weekend will also correspond with each one of the 8 limbs of yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
This 8 weekend program is a comprehensive approach to becoming a well informed student of yoga. We value presenting the course material of ancient yogic principles through our unique modern translation. You will not only learn the art and science of this practice from a historical context, but also be able to interpret it through a language that is relevant to your daily life and practice.
Educational workshops, conversation, and reading assignments will coincide with the implementation and application of what is studied through repetition of practice teaching. It is through the development of your own personal practice that you will begin to share yoga, as a teacher.

IN PERSON TRAINING
ARROW YOGA
Baltimore, MD
We host our trainings at our home studio located in Hampden, Baltimore. Once registered for training, you will have access to the students portal that provides all info needed to prep for training, including faqs about our in person location.
Please reach out if you need support finding accommodation. We can help you arrange a home-stay with a fellow YTT or book a hotel room in walking distance from our studio.
FAQS
WHAT IF I MISS A SESSION?
Students are allowed to miss up to 1 full intensive weekend. Although this is not ideal, and we prefer students to be in all sessions, we do offer flexibility since all classes are recorded.
IN PERSON ONLY
In previous cohorts, we offered an online-only option for our YTT. Online is no longer an option and we will require all students to participate in person.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT THAT ISN'T MARKETED IN THE TRAINING CURRICULUM?
Community. Relationships. Emotional and spiritual fortitude. The pieces that you don't necessarily see are how connected our kula (community) becomes. Self-awareness and self- development are also the main takeaways from our past students.
HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SCHEDULE/HOW TO PREPARE FOR TRAINING?
Once registered you will receive access to your student training portal. In there is all of the information you'll need to access zoom links, resources, props and books required etc;
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE RECORDINGS FOR TRAINING?
You will have lifetime access to all training videos.
WHERE DO WE GO TO ACCESS ASSIGNMENTS/ RECORDINGS?
All curriculum will be accessed through Thinkific and can be found through the training portal.
HOW MUCH TIME OUTSIDE OF TRAINING HOURS DOES THIS REQUIRE?
Outside of live training hours, there will be a maximum of two to four hours of work to do on your own timing within each module. This includes watching recorded videos that are included within the 200 hour model, and then your own self practice and self study. (1 asana class, and 1 meditation practice on your own each module minimum)
WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO BE A YOGA TEACHER?
Amazing. Our training is intended to first and foremost be a study on understanding and embodying the practices of yoga. Learning how to lead a class & understand our methodology is just another layer to the experience. Becoming a yoga teacher is not an obligation but an incredible perk!
DO I NEED TO BE AN ADVANCED PRACTITIONER IN ORDER TO JOIN?
NO! Students come to learn and advance their practice exactly as they are. All are welcome. We ask that you have been practicing yoga for at least a year and are deeply committed to this process of learning and growing.
Scholarships Available
Taking yoga outside the studio to communities underrepresented in a typical yoga class is key to creating a diverse range of teaching voices – so all students can feel represented in the classroom.
Scholarships will be prioritized for BIPOC communities. Please reach out if you have any questions.
