Go deeper than the poses.
A 14-week, in-person journey designed to transform your practice, expand your understanding and help you discover what you are capable of—whether or not you plan to teach.
A training for the person you are becoming.
You do not need an advanced practice—or even the goal of teaching—to begin.
Purple Yoga’s 200-hour training is an immersive exploration of yoga, health and wellness, philosophy and the art of teaching. You will build a more intelligent practice, gain tools that reach far beyond the studio and learn alongside a faculty whose collective experience is difficult to find in one program.
Deepen your practice
Understand the why behind the work and create a more grounded relationship with your body, mind and daily life.
Find your voice
Learn to communicate clearly, sequence intelligently and lead a room with confidence and care.
Grow together
Share the experience with a committed cohort and form relationships that continue well beyond graduation.
Experience changes everything.
Learn from teachers who have spent decades refining the craft—not simply completing it.
The program is led by senior Purple Yoga faculty with deep, complementary expertise in teaching, sequencing, philosophy, movement and community.
Alex Roberts
15,000+ classes taught and hundreds of trainees guided. Alex brings rare depth in anatomy, intelligent instruction and the art of building a complete class.

Ancient wisdom. Modern application.
Three integrated areas of study create a complete foundation for practice, life and teaching.
The Art of Teaching
Anatomy, alignment, cueing, sequencing, observation, assisting, public speaking and the practical skills required to lead a thoughtful class.
Health & Wellness
A modern approach to sustainable well-being through movement, nutrition, sleep, breath, meditation and recovery.
Philosophy & History
Explore the ideas, texts and traditions that shaped yoga—and learn how to apply their lessons in contemporary life.
Recovery science, experienced firsthand.
Your education extends beyond traditional teacher training.
At our Huntington Beach studio, you will spend a dedicated day learning the science, practical protocols and responsible use of modern recovery modalities—then experience each one firsthand.
Certification is the beginning—not the finish line.
Graduates who want to teach can continue developing through mentorship and Purple Yoga’s paid Protégé pathway.
Where the training can lead.
Every trainee begins with a different intention. What they share is a deeper relationship with yoga and a new understanding of what is possible.
After more than 20 years of practicing yoga, I had considered teacher training for a long time. Enrolling in Purple Yoga’s 2025 Teacher Training was one of the best decisions I have made. The program deepened my relationship with yoga far beyond the physical practice, and the faculty was knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely invested in our growth.
After graduating, I began teaching at several studios and was later invited into Purple Yoga’s Protégé program. One year after completing the training, I achieved my goal of becoming a Purple Yoga teacher. If you are considering this training, take the leap. It may open doors you never expected.
I entered the program wanting to learn how to teach yoga and incorporate it into my work as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I left with something much greater: a deeper understanding of what it means to live yoga.
Alex, Dannielle and Danny created a supportive environment that encouraged curiosity, thoughtful questions and personal growth. Through anatomy, breathwork, philosophy, meditation and the exploration of spiritual energy, I discovered that yoga extends far beyond the physical practice. It is a way of connecting more meaningfully with ourselves and with others.
The experience has transformed me physically, mentally and emotionally. I have greater mobility, improved breathing while running and increased range of motion during strength training. I also move through my days with more calm, mindfulness and consideration for those around me.
Along the way, I found a community of like-minded friends, new opportunities to share yoga and a deeper connection to myself. I walked into the program wanting to learn how to teach yoga. I walked away learning how to live it.

No. The training is designed for committed learners at many stages of practice. Curiosity, consistency and a willingness to learn matter more than advanced poses.

No. Many trainees join primarily for personal growth and a deeper understanding of yoga. Teaching is one possible outcome, not a requirement for beginning the journey.
