When we practice yoga, we begin to recognize the benefit and even advantage of slowing down, taking only what you need, and choosing kindness towards others and towards oneself. Yoga is not just the physical practice of asana: there is a mental and spiritual component too. On an average day in our current world, most people are not thinking about these things, much less talking to others about how to live in this way: how to achieve balance and clarity within and without...in body, mind, and spirit.

At the Yoga Center of Columbia, we are dedicated to helping you invite positive change into the world by deepening your understanding of yoga and enriching your practice and your life with our transformative and rewarding 2026 Yoga Teacher Training programs.

Over 400 individuals have graduated from our comprehensive programs that offer countless benefits. Whether you aim to teach or simply enrich your practice, we invite you to explore an extensive, modern curriculum led by expert teachers.

The RYT 200 Teacher Training Program is a comprehensive 11-month program conveniently scheduled one weekend per month (Friday evening through Sunday) from January 23 through November 22, 2026. Lucy Lomax and Kelly Fisher will guide participants through yoga’s fundamentals, philosophy, and teaching techniques: perfect for those wanting to teach or enrich their personal practice. Upon satisfactory completion, participants will be eligible to register with the Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level. You will enrich your practice and your life - even if you have no intention to teach.

Register today to receive an Early Bird discount: this rate end on December 15th for RYT 200!
