200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training Program

 

We are so thrilled to partner Rolf Gates to offer Tribal Yoga’s 200-Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training as an affiliate of his school.  Our program is registered with Yoga Alliance. Amber Favaregh and Jillian Simms will be the primary, in person, teachers for our training with guidance and additional virtual teachings from Rolf.   

This training focuses heavily on the metaphysical aspect of yoga. This makes it a perfect fit for those who do not have a burning desire to teach after completion but we also graduate teachers who have the required skills to be highly effective teachers in our community. Our teacher training program is also an accredited yoga teacher training school registered with The Yoga Alliance. This allows graduates to teach anywhere in the United States and many places in the world with a formal certification. 

Be ready to take a deep dive into your personal experiences and grow as a result. Amber and Jillian will guide you through the entire experience and offer hands-on support as you move through the training.  They both have years of experience teaching yoga and yoga teachers. Amber has been perfecting the curriculum of this training since 2013 with Jillian joining her in 2017 and they are honored to have graduated many highly impactful instructors.  

Meet Your Instructors

Amber Favaregh

Amber Favaregh

Lead Trainer, Studio Owner

I’m the owner of Tribal Yoga and I’ve been training yoga teachers since 2013. In addition to being a studio owner and yoga teacher, I’m also a full-time aerospace engineer at NASA. I love to look at things through the lens of science and reason but yoga has brought me a balance between reason and spirit.

I’m so honored to offer this powerful course and look forward to the amazing transformations that I know will occur for each student in our training. I’ve been leading this training since 2013 and I’ve spent all those years perfecting our training process. I feel confident that what we offer will be of the utmost quality and impact for anyone willing to walk this journey with us.  If you have any questions please feel free to reach out by email. You can schedule a one-on-one phone session with me or join us for one of the information sessions. I’m happy to answer all your questions.

Lead Trainer

It is such a pleasure to be able to guide such an exciting and life-changing training.  We truly go beyond just teaching poses.  This is about discovery, awareness, and truth.  I look forward to walking with you on this journey!

Our training offers an online student portal with videos and assignment submissions.

The video content includes exclusive videos from renowned yoga author, Rolf Gates. 

This training is organized around the idea that in order to be an effective teacher you must take the time and effort to dive deep into your own self-study and develop a consistent spiritual practice. 

Listen as Rolf Gates describes the importance of a spiritual practice.

Read what our graduates have to say.

I had a wonderful experience at Tribal Yoga YTT school and studio. The teachers were present, knowledgeable and relatable and as a student, I felt connected to them. My fellow students were amazing and wonderful human beings. Not only did I feel confident about teaching a class at the end of my training, but I also felt more in tune with myself. Forever grateful to Tribal Yoga, the teachers, and students for the opportunity and experience I had.

Tammy Stroup

Graduated 2019

My experience with Tribal Yoga’s teacher training was everything I wanted it to be. I feel confident in my ability to teach and gained new perspectives on yoga and life in general. I highly recommend this studio for training as well as for yoga classes.

Brandy Robbins

Graduated 2019

It was a great place to learn about yoga and myself. I felt safe there. My self-study went farther than I ever expected. My love for yoga and myself grew more than I would have ever imagined. The girls I studied with were wonderful. The teachers were knowledgeable, patient, kind and very experienced yoginis. I very much enjoyed learning how to be a better version of myself, a better student and a good/effective teacher!

What you’ll learn


We will practice asana, meditation, and pranayama to the point of proficiency and beyond. Your knowledge of Yoga theory will deepen to the point that it will become an aspect of the fabric of your life and of everything you do and say. You will learn to teach classes that combine a consistent therapeutic vision with the inspired spontaneity of Vinyasa Yoga. You will develop a thorough understanding of the elements of the therapeutic principles of Yoga and be able to design a class or teach a pose in such a manner that your students will immediately embody those principles.

How to Design and Teach a Vinyasa Yoga Class

You will gain a thorough understanding of the principles which when applied create a class for all ages and body types. This will include a specific sequence and more importantly the method for adapting that sequence to the infinity of opportunities implied by the word Yoga. This method enables what you teach to grow as you and your students do.

Being the Change

The first Yoga teacher in the U.S. Swami Vivekananda wrote: “You yourselves are the being that you seek.” During this training, you will have direct experience of the truth of that statement. When you leave this training you will know how it is people reach their potential and you will be able to apply that knowledge to accomplish your own goals. You will be the change you want to see in your life.

Time on the Mat and on the Cushion

One of the joys of being a teacher is that your Yoga practice becomes part of your job description. During this training, you will spend time each day with asana, meditation, and pranayama instruction and practice. You will be taught the therapeutic principles that will allow you to practice safely with intensity. You will be able to sit comfortably for a 25-minute meditation session during which you will experience what it means to rest in stillness. You will be proficient in breathing techniques that awaken and build heat, preparing the mind-body for asana, and breathing techniques that are cooling and soothing preparing the mind-body for meditation. On your mat, the implementation of therapeutic principles will be dramatic. You will experience a vibrant aliveness from which there is no going back.

The Teacher Training Curriculum will include:

  • Study of The Yoga Sutras
  • Cultivation of the Eight Limb Path as a path of action
  • Integrating the three elements of a spiritual practice into your life
  • The role of the teacher
  • The role of practice
