200 hour Yoga Teacher Training

2026 dates coming soon | in person Training

Join Metta for our second 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher training with lead trainer, Michele Klink, accompanied by supporting faculty: Carla Herzenberg, Ashley Stachon, and Bex Urban.

In this comprehensive teacher training, you will get a broader view and deeper understanding of the many paths of Yoga: Hatha Yoga (path of physical discipline), Jnana Yoga (path of knowledge), Bhakti Yoga (path of spiritual practice and devotion), Tantra Yoga (yoga of subtle energy body), Karma Yoga (path of action and service), Raja Yoga (the Royal Path which encompasses all especially a path of meditation). From this broad base of understanding, you will be encouraged and empowered to explore your desired path(s) of study to deepen your yoga practice while also personalizing your own creative teaching style.  

While the training program touches upon each branch of yoga, including the history of yoga, the curriculum will dive specifically deeper into exploring the many layers of asana, technique, anatomy, pranayama, philosophy and teaching methodologies. Ultimately, you will practice and learn to teach yoga, for all levels of student, blending asana (postures and alignment), pranayama (breath and flow), and dhyana (meditation, focus, devotion). You will learn to confidently, safely, skillfully and authentically sequence and teach an alignment-based vinyasa flow practice with your own personalized, authentic, creative teaching style.

Whether you intend to teach yoga or not, you will:

  • deepen and progress your yoga practice

  • receive personal attention in posture labs

  • learn to live a lifestyle of yoga, both on and off the mat

  • uncover truths about yourself in a safe, supported space

  • heal, transform and grow

  • establish a pranayama and meditation practice

  • develop close intimate like-minded friends

  • discover your authentic voice

  • and more

This is an incredible opportunity for personal growth. Expect to make new and lasting friendships. Anticipate manifesting the things in your life that bring you joy. Get prepared to study, laugh and cry while refining your own yoga practice along with other highly motivated yoga teacher training students. 

You will leave this training a new person, and feeling confident and ready to teach, equipped with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification recognized by Yoga Alliance. Whether you are taking this training to deepen your own personal knowledge, or to evolve your yoga lifestyl,e or wish to become a teacher, Metta Yoga Teacher Training program is designed just for you. 

Michele Klink, E-RYT 500, YACEP, C-IAYT, has over led teacher trainings for over 13 years. Michele has uniquely developed the Teacher Training curriculum in conjunction with Metta Yoga to reflect the tradition, art and science of the ancient path of Yoga. You will learn why yoga is such a powerful practice and how to inspire others on this path.

What our graduates say about the program

“I wholeheartedly recommend the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program at Metta Yoga! Studio owners Amy and Temple have created an incredible community around the studio and the teachers and students who are drawn to Metta care deeply about their practice and each other. Our lead teachers not only gave us the education we needed to be excellent teachers, they also modeled for us in their own practices the importance of being authentic as we took the seat of the teacher. As a result, each one of us found something unique in ourselves during training that we are proud to offer and I believe that will make a positive difference in the classes we teach. I truly loved the experience and I am grateful for the opportunity to provide this feedback!” - Tiffany R.
