Awaken the Teacher Within
At the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is more than a certification—it’s an invitation to transform from the inside out. While online options may offer flexibility, nothing compares to the power of showing up—body, breath and heart—in a dedicated, in-person training environment.
Why in Person? Because Presence Matters.
In-person training offers something profoundly different—and deeply needed. With personalized feedback from experienced instructors, you’ll receive immediate guidance on alignment, sequencing and verbal cueing that accelerates your growth and builds true confidence. Being physically present fosters powerful connections with classmates and mentors, creating a strong support system and sense of community that keeps you inspired and accountable. Immersed in a focused, distraction-free space, you absorb more, retain more and embody the teachings on a deeper level. You’ll also gain hands-on experience teaching live classes, allowing you to refine your voice, manage group energy, and truly find your footing as an instructor. Most importantly, this immersive environment encourages a genuine integration of yoga philosophy, mindfulness and lifestyle practices—creating lasting transformation both on and off the mat.
Yoga Give Back Scholarship Now Available
SWIHA is proud to offer the $1,000 YTT Give Back Scholarship for students committed to sharing yoga as a gift to their community after completing the program. We believe in training instructors who are also leaders, change makers and healers.
