Authentic Movements firmly believes that the study of yoga & movement is a continual journey. While 200 hours is just brushing the surface of what can turn into a life-long passion, EVERYONE STARTS SOMEWHERE, and we would like to invite YOU to start (or continue) with us!

Join Team AM + Guest Lecturers on this adventure through our highly comprehensive and affordable online teacher training package that exceeds all standards set and required by Yoga Alliance.

Yes, we are Yoga Alliance Registered.

Anyone that earns a certificate from one of our Virtual YTTs can register that certificate with Yoga Alliance.

This training is FANTASTIC.

Im a trained pilates instructor, and I’ve always loved yoga, but I often find the practice lacking focus on anatomy, cuing and “core”.

I’m only in chapter two and I know that I made the right decision with this training. You are all so bright and intelligent and your cueing is brilliant. You’re also so different but you compliment each other beautifully…

Course Overview

Who is this training for?
The AM Virtual 200HR is aimed at those looking to teach and/or progress their personal practice. All-levels are welcome, but some form of past movement practice is helpful. If you’re simply looking to expand your own movement modality without any interest in leading classes, you will still greatly benefit from the vast majority of the provided content. We welcome those new to teaching, as well as current teachers who want to dive deeper into the world of logical creativity & unique sequencing. This training is meant for anyone and everyone willing to think critically, embrace their creative side, and join the growing community of those not afraid to move authentically.
Who is this training NOT for?
Authentic Movements is not meant for those looking for a run of the mill teacher training. If you’re interested in collecting a few sequences to memorize or receiving a list of Right vs Wrong cues and alignment rules, this might not be the place for you. While we welcome use of our platform for continued education purposes and don’t require that you strive for or desire our 200HR certificate of completion, please understand that by purchasing this program, you are not Buying your certificate. You Earn it, and while Authentic Movements is happy to provide countless hours of assistance and tutoring along the way, we do not guarantee completion papers to anyone. That is 100% up to YOU.

There is something so magical about the way these ladies teach so when an opportunity came up to attend their YTT. I jumped at the chance thinking I would never get accepted in a million years but to my surprise I did, and I had an amazing experience. Every day was a blast from the funky morning flows to the lovely restorative classes in the evening, they even included some strength-based training which was perfect for a girl like me that likes to pick up heavy things. My practice felt so strong by the end of the month as my previous aches and pains disappeared as I learned how to move in the best way for my body. This training was so jam packed with lots of knowledgeable lectures which were very challenging, interesting, and well thought out. I thought my brains would explode but I learned so much about yoga philosophy, history, anatomy and so much more. I really feel like I am a better person for having attended the Authentic Movements YTT so thank you Steph, Erin, and Bianca for having me

I’m about to finish chapter 3 knowing it’s the best decision I could make, the course is so full of information and it can feel a bit overwhelming, but that’s the beauty of the on-demand mode, you can take as much time as needed, actually this worked great for me as I decided to start a small project the same day the course launched and had to give up on the plan of finishing by the end of the year.
The instructors are very kind when giving feedback to the assignments, actually I was nervously waiting for mine and when it came it really made my day, while giving me advice on what to work on, it was very encouraging…
Also I’m very grateful for the amount of introspection practices in the course and the assignments, I have never journaled before and it has become more present in my daily routine, while I may not particularly enjoy the work in the moment, when I finish I feel like a weight has been taken off, and they are very eye opening and give you a lot to think about.
Another thing that had me a bit doubtful about signing up was the on demand aspect but with the live classes and q&a I´ve been able to talk to actual humans… and while that´s not been easy for me, I´ve tried to join as many as my schedule allows and actually speak up a bit instead of just stay there listening, for me there’s room for improvment, but the AM fam are so kind, that even being social is something that’s they make easy for us…
So thank you so much for all the work and for bringing this course to life, I don’t think I would have been able to study with you if it wasn’t online, I look forward for the chapters to come and for whatever comes in this ever changing journey

Obtaining my 200-HR Yoga Teacher certification from Authentic Movements was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had been seeking out the perfect teacher training for over a year. I wanted an intensive training that was going to focus on the “why” behind every movement as well as be very in-depth with anatomy and cueing. When I found out that the AM team was going to host their own, I knew it was going to be a perfect match! I had practiced with Erin and Steph in their past workshops and online video bundles and felt very connected to their energy and teaching style. Not only did this training change the way that I viewed yoga and gave me the space to learn and question, but it prepared me for seeking out yoga teaching jobs after the training was over. Many of the studios in my area required at least a year’s worth of experience before being able to teach, however, I auditioned for two studios just a few weeks out of my training and received both jobs because of how knowledgable and prepared I was due to this amazing training!! This training pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone, grow, and evolve as a human. I can honestly say that this yoga teacher training from Authentic Movements changed my life in so many different ways and I will forever be grateful!” –

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Erin, Steph, and Bianca in 2019. I had such an amazing experience! I am really happy with the education I received. The units are well balanced between practicing yoga, teaching (including the business of!), anatomy, and philosophy. I started teaching yoga classes within a week of finishing my teacher training, and I was well prepared. The 200 hour is a really good sampler – you get a chance to dip your toes into all kinds of teaching styles and ideas. It’s a great way to learn a lot about what’s out there and what is interesting to you. Based on what I learned, I’ve continued to pursue education about sequencing and anatomy. 

Erin, Steph, and Bianca have very complimentary skill sets. They share the same core philosophy, and each bring their own perspective. Having multiple teachers was something I didn’t even know I wanted from a teacher training, and I am really thankful for in hindsight. They do a wonderful job of explaining complex ideas, then opening up the room for discussion. They truly created a safe space where I felt free to speak my mind and ask real questions. I’m an analytical person, and it was very important to me that I was given the opportunity to share my perspective and given the time to think things through.

More about AM

Authentic Movements is privileged and honored to offer an exceptional Yoga Alliance registered 200HR Yoga Teacher Training for those interested in starting their journey as a movement professional or current teachers looking to delve deeper into their teaching and asana.
And remember, teacher training isn’t only for those looking to teach! It’s also a great opportunity to hone your personal practice and body awareness.

In the past, Authentic Movements has done mostly in-person, intensive-style 200HR programs. While the camaraderie and community during an in-person training is beautiful, ONLINE OFFERINGS provide many benefits as well. These include:

  • EXTRA CONTENT – we can go above and beyond the standard 200HRs when there’s no timer and you can take as long as you’d like to complete the content
  • ON-DEMAND, WORK ANYTIME – You have access for six (6) months. Take your time.
  • REVISIT SECTIONS: During the course, if you need more info or afterwards, if you really liked a flow. Again, the content is yours for six (6) months. The manual is yours forever. Go through in the provided order the first time, and then have access to whatever you want!
  • VIRTUAL COMMUNITY BUILDING: FB group + post alum opportunities + QA sessions. We can still be a community through our screens and then meet in person for continued growth and exploration!

Regardless of the training format (online or in-person), our 200HR YTTs offer a powerful foundation in anatomy, alignment, sequencing, and yoga philosophy, all while curating the growth and evolution of every teacher’s personal creative language and authentic teaching style.

While showing great reverence the long history of yoga in all of its forms, the Authentic Movements 200HR Teacher Training helps assign modern application to the myriad of traditional platforms and schools. This training is registered under Yoga Alliance as “Hatha Vinyasa,” however, Authentic Movements chooses not to be defined by any singular school and instead looks to combine a variety of movement methods to serve a continuously expanding audience and their changing needs.

The goal of the 200HR training is to equip new teachers with the skillset to teach safe and effective classes to the general population. Authentic Movements also strives to hone critical thinking and extrapolation skills for all attendees so that AM teachers understand the WHY behind the cues and are able to create Smart Sequences that reflect their personal teaching style.

Outside of a daily movement practice, attendees can expect courses/workshops on alignment, adjustments, teaching basics, sequencing, yoga history, anatomy, philosophy, basic Sanskrit, business ethics, social media + marketing, and public speaking. More than anything, Authentic Movements schedules copious self, small group, and class teaching time so that attendees can complete the training with a strong toolbox of teaching moments. For the online format, this will be carried out through a variety of video & live teaching opportunities.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Authentic Movements is a Yoga Alliance Registered School at the 200 & 300HR level. Currently, due to COVID-19,   YA has extended the online allowance through 2023 for approved programs.  Upon successful completion of the 200HR program and receipt of certificate from Authentic Movements, students may register with Yoga Alliance as a 200HR RYT via the online training alone.
