​

Most yoga teacher trainings focus on memorizing sequences.

​

At Side Door Studio, we believe great teachers understand how bodies move, adapt, and thrive throughout life.

​

The Side Door Method 200-Hour Yoga & Movement Teacher Training combines traditional yoga wisdom with modern movement science, preparing you to confidently teach today's students.

​

Whether your goal is to become a yoga teacher, deepen your personal practice, or expand your knowledge as a fitness or wellness professional, this program provides the tools, experience, and mentorship to help you succeed.

​

What Is the Side Door Method?

​

The Side Door Method is a modern approach to yoga education built on the principles of mobility, stability, strength, movement intelligence, and meaningful human connection.

​

We believe yoga teachers should do more than lead poses—they should understand how to help people move well, feel strong, and continue thriving throughout every stage of life.
