YOGA AND MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING
May 8 - July 12, 2026
Ready to go deeper? Teacher training is the way. Explore the profound teachings of Yoga with Sama’s 10-week, 200-hour Teacher Training and Immersion Program.
This training is about much more than just the physical practices. We offer a unique and thorough approach to both the internal and external practices of Yoga. You'll delve into the rich Eastern philosophy, history, spirituality, and traditions that form the foundation of Yoga, all while in a nourishing community setting.
At Sama, we practice an alignment-based, accessible form of yoga asana that uses props and variations to meet the needs of different practitioners. You'll practice and learn a sequence that highlights key posture types, including standing poses, forward folds, back bends, and twists, all linked together with breath.
Through steady repetition of this sequence throughout our 10 weeks together, you'll be able to watch your own progress, get familiar with teaching essential postures and their variations, and have a "back-pocket" sequence you can both teach and use in your personal home practice.
You'll also receive extensive training in meditation to help you establish your own consistent practice and to learn how to share this vital mental training with others. You'll learn to teach a meditation called shamata, or calm abiding (what we call "Focus" at Sama).
Whether you're an aspiring teacher or simply seeking to deepen your personal practice, our curriculum provides you with the tools to guide yourself and others in these life-changing practices. Read more about the training specifics in the FAQ below.
Come with an open mind and heart. This training is designed to be a container for inner transformation, insight, and healing. Expect to make deep lifelong friendships, share food and ideas, and find a community where you can deepen your experience of Yoga.
