Our Mission: To train qualified Yoga instructors that teach safely and inspire their students to seek and discover their inner self.

Welcome and namasté. YogaTeacher.org offers Yoga Teacher Training and Certification through The Spiritual Life Society and Yoga Center in Hudson, Ohio. Our Yoga school is a "Registered Yoga School" (RYS) with YogaAlliance. Our graduates receive a certificate which qualifies them to become a "Registered Yoga Teacher" (RYT). We have been teaching Yoga at this location since 1978 and have been training Yoga Teachers since 1982.

Our goal is to support and inspire the Yoga teaching community with education, opportunity, fellowship, and other resources to help us become better students and improve our teaching.

YogaTeacher.org helps educate the public about Yoga, Yoga practice, Yoga-related issues and Yoga opportunities.

Yoga Teacher trainees in our certification program should join our email list at Yahoo groups. Click here to join our email list and also to see our MESSAGE ARCHIVEs.

In the interest of satya and full disclosure, please note our school's registration with Yoga Alliance is currently expired. We are in the process of resubmitting our paperwork, and then the Yoga Alliance will take about 6-10 weeks to review it before our registration is reissued. We expect this to be resolved soon and not to interfere with our program.
