Citizen’s next 200-Hour Yoga Training will begin August 9, 2024 and ends November 23, 2024. Registration is now open for Fall Session.
Citizen Yoga’s 200-Hour Yoga Training is a Yoga Alliance-certified program designed around the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual principles of the yoga practice.
Trainees will be guided by a team of experienced teachers on a journey of self-transformation. Students will begin to internalize, live, and teach Citizen alignment yoga. Based on a manual developed by Citizen Yoga founder Kacee Must, Citizen’s 200-Hour program is a hybrid format that combines the convenience of virtual learning with valuable in-person teaching. The end result is a highly engaging and educational experience.
Citizen Yoga’s training team combines decades of yoga teaching and training experience to offer a comprehensive, foundational yoga education. Upon graduation, trainees will make great improvements to their personal practice and be able to teach multiple types of yoga classes. Graduates from our program are eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher-200 with the Yoga Alliance.

"It sounds cliche, but its absolutely true; the Citizen Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training was absolutely life changing for me. The training itself gives students an in-depth education on the power of a philosophy-based and alignment-focused practice. The teachers are well-trained, your peers become your greatest resources, and the manual your greatest treasure. I have never felt more connected to myself."

Hailey Zureich
"Citizen Yoga's 200-Hour Teacher Training encompasses all aspects of what yoga means. We learned so much more than proper pose alignment and how to create good messaging for a class. We explored the philosophical underpinnings that make yoga more than just a workout, enriching movement with meaning. It was truly a journey of personal transformation that anchors my teaching and my practice."

Sarah Weinstein
"Teacher Training was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life! Kacee and her curriculum prepare you to become a teacher, and play the lead role in your life. The foundations that you learn through her training will help you become more grounded in both alignment and philosophy. Teacher Training was a powerful experience everyone should have to deepen their practice."

Coby Shecter
"The flexibility of Citizen's Online Teacher Training allowed me to commit to deepening my expertise of yoga in a way that worked for my schedule. The transformative nature of teacher training isn't lost because of the online format. I can actually say I graduated Citizen's program surrounded by a community of curious new teachers, and I felt completely prepared to teach multiple types of yoga classes in a safe, creative way."

Anna Tretter
"I've been practicing yoga for a few years, I knew there was something special about the practice but couldn't quite put it into words. Yoga Teacher Training with Citizen allowed me the freedom to explore that feeling with the guidance of incredible teachers and peers. I have greatly deepened my practice and better yet, I now can share that feeling with others."

Zach Root
"Making the decision to participate in Citizen Yoga's 200HR teacher training was easily one of the best choices. I have ever made. Through curiosity, community, and connection, I fell in love all over again with a practice that is deeply personal and transformative. The experience left me filled with awe and admiration for all that yoga has to offer. The learning never ends but the path is lined in great friendships, important revelations, deep inquiry, and. so much growth."
