200-Hour Teacher Training

Why Wicked Om Yoga?

The Wicked Om Yoga Teacher Training program blends multiple yoga traditions, integrating them into a modern, practical and unique method. This method combines power yoga, vinyasa flow and restorative yoga with an emphasis on physical and energetic alignment with creative and skillful sequencing.

Our goal is to provide each of our trainees with a foundation to lead with authenticity, confidence, compassion, and safety while honoring their individual style and voice. Whether you join us to become a teacher or simply to deepen your own practice, The Wicked Om Yoga teacher training will uniquely prepare you to step into the yoga community with purpose, confidence and a deep understanding of all that yoga can offer your students.

Over the course of 4 months,  our upgraded 200-hour teacher training program will expand your practice, expose you to the many layers of yoga, grow your confidence and inspire + push you to find your unique, individual voice.  You will deeply learn about yourself, and create meaningful connections with your fellow trainees. Our program is created for both those wanting to expand their practice and for aspiring teachers.

We are not a yoga studio. Wicked Om Yoga is focused entirely on yoga teacher development and education – no distractions.  This focus allows us to channel all of our energy and passion toward your growth as a student and instructor. Become a successful yoga teacher no matter where you decide to teach – we will use our connections and support to help you get there.

Our program is unique and offers you so much more than learning Asana. Take the leap if you are ready to find your power, dive deep into the yoga and learn more about yourself and others.
