Santodanta Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Online

AN AWAKENING EXPERIENCE

Founded in 2015, our yoga teacher training is one of the premier African-American-owned and led organizations in the country! We train teachers in partnership with our Black-owned and operated affiliate, Sunlight & Yoga, LLC.

To date, we are serving our 7th cohort of +200 RYT-certified instructors.

The studio is located in our sheep meadow at The Bell Valley Homestead. Participants from outside the home area can simultaneously join training sessions online as part of our extended, global community.

How it works

  • All classes are taught LIVE through our online learning platform on Thinkific.

  • Trainees will automatically become part of our online community of support The LifeForce Nexus Network. 

  • We will help you transform a portion of your living place into a mini yoga center for spiritual growth and transformation. This will encourage consistent practice even when your instructors are not around “virtually.”  

  • The online training is just like the in-person training. Please show up 5 to 10 minutes early to have your mind-body and area ready for practice. The program is three days a week. Monday and Wednesday from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and Saturday from 9am to 10am. Homework and study must be completed each week before next week’s practice.

  • Each session is led by Lead Trainer, Changa Bell. Some guest classes will be led by former Santodanta students who are now professional +200 RYT yoga instructors.

  • Once the course is completed you will earn an internationally recognized certification that complies with The Yoga Alliance. Your certification is accepted worldwide as the standard 200 required by Registered Yoga Schools (RYS).
