Yoga Teacher Training | San Diego

Become a teacher who changes lives—starting with your own.

A high-touch, mentorship-driven 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training for practitioners who want to go deeper—into their practice, their leadership, and the art of teaching itself.

Starts August, 2027

Early-early bird rates saves you a $751. On until 11/29—limited to 4 spots.

This is not just a yoga teacher training.

Yes, you will learn how to teach yoga. Actually, you'll learn how to teach it really well.

You'll study sequencing, cueing, anatomy, philosophy, and how to lead a room with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

But that's only part of what we're here to do.

This training is an opportunity to fundamentally change the way you experience your life. The way you respond when things get hard. The way you show up in your relationships. The way you understand yourself, take responsibility for your choices, and move through the world.

Because we believe that who you are is your most important teaching tool.

You can memorize every pose, build a beautiful sequence, and put together a killer playlist. But to teach yoga in a way that actually matters, you have to be willing to do the work yourself.

That means examining your patterns, questioning your assumptions, learning to sit with discomfort, and practicing what it means to live with greater awareness, integrity, and intention.

And whether you go on to teach hundreds of students or never teach a single class, that work has the potential to change everything.

If you're ready to take the practice seriously—and see what it can change in you—keep reading.

Fill out this form to stay up-to-date on all things Yoga Teacher Training

If you want yoga to actually change your life it cannot be learned passively.

It must be lived. Practiced. Refined. Witnessed. Challenged.

That’s why this training is built around live immersion, direct mentorship, real-time feedback, and embodied practice—not prerecorded videos you watch alone.

This is not an online certification.

This is an immersive, mentorship-driven experience designed to transform how you practice, teach, and lead.

Here’s how the transformation happens

✔ Learn the foundations of yoga — asana, pranayama, philosophy, sequencing, and the nervous system — in a way that makes ancient teachings practical for modern life.

✔ Learn how to construct and confidently lead a clear, safe, intelligent vinyasa class from start to finish.

✔ Learn how to make that class magical — by understanding human behavior, relationship dynamics, the energy body, and what truly creates transformation in a room.

✔ Practice teaching in real time where feedback, refinement, and integration happen fast.

✔ Step into real-world teaching with ongoing mentorship, weekly support, and guidance — so you don’t leave certified but unsure… you leave ready.

What You’ll Experience Inside the Training

Season One: Foundations — Learn the Structure

You’ll build the philosophical, technical, and relational foundation of yoga.

You’ll study:

  • Asana foundations, alignment, and intelligent sequencing

  • Pranayama and breath mechanics

  • Yoga philosophy made practical for modern life

  • Nervous system regulation and codependency-free teaching

  • Anatomy for yoga teachers

  • The ethics of leadership and holding space

You’ll begin:

  • Constructing full vinyasa classes from start to finish

  • Teaching short segments with live feedback

  • Refining your voice and presence as a leader

August 12 – October 10, 2027

Intensive weekends:
Aug. 12–15, Sept. 9–12, Sept. 23–26, Oct. 7–10

Thursdays & Fridays: 1–6:30 pm
Saturdays & Sundays: 8 am–5 pm

Weekly commitments:

  • Sunday sessions: 11 am–3 pm
    (Aug. 22 & 29, Sept. 5 & 19, Oct. 3)

  • Weekly live practice (in-studio & livestream available)


Season Two: Immersion — Make it Magic

This is where the structure becomes transformation.

Over eight immersive days together—beginning with intensive training at Honey Yoga and culminating in a weekend retreat—you'll move beyond learning how to teach and begin discovering who you are as a teacher.

During this experience, you will:

  • Practice yoga, teaching, and embodiment in a whole new way

  • Teach your first full-length yoga class in a supportive, immersive setting

  • Receive direct, specific feedback to help you grow

  • Refine your voice, pacing, presence, and confidence

  • Learn how to create depth and connection in a room

  • Build meaningful relationships with your teachers and fellow trainees

We'll also go beyond the mechanics of teaching to explore:

  • Human behavior and relationship dynamics

  • The energetics of a space

  • How transformation happens within groups

This is where your leadership sharpens, your confidence grows, and everything you've learned begins to come together.

This is where yoga stops being something you “know” and becomes something you embody.

October 18–25, 2027

In-studio immersion:
October 18–20 (Monday–Wednesday)
Approximately three full days of immersive training at Honey Yoga.

Residential retreat:
October 21–25 (Thursday–Monday)
We'll head to a beautiful retreat location in Southern California for a few days of yoga, connection, and practice teaching—including your first full-length class!

We're still finalizing the details of this experience, including the retreat location and daily schedule. The dates and structure above reflect our current plans and are subject to some adjustments. We'll share confirmed details well in advance so you have plenty of time to plan.


Season Three: Step into Teaching

Most yoga teacher trainings will have you leave the training having taught maybe one class. But real teachers and leaders are built with feedback and mentorship. That’s how you become a really good teacher—by practicing teaching and honing your skills along the way. This is one of the most unique parts of our training that you will not find in most other trainings.

In this phase you’ll:

  • Begin teaching consistently (studio, gym, private, or community—you’ll also have the opportunity to use Honey Yoga’s space if you wish!)

  • Submit class plans and recordings for feedback

  • Receive weekly mentorship and integration support

  • Refine your sequencing, cueing, and leadership skills

  • Learn how to audition, pitch, and step into professional teaching

You don’t leave certified yet unsure.
You leave practiced and supported.

Important note: not sure you even want to teach? There’s room for that, too, in this training. Reach out anytime to discuss your options. We firmly believe the transformation happens from learning to step into leadership—but that can look many ways!

November 7 – December 12, 2027

Weekly mentorship sessions:
Sundays: 8–11 am
November 7, 14, 21 & 28; December 5 & 12
Live group mentorship, teaching feedback, and integration support .

Weekly personal practice:

If you’re ready to say yes—trust your gut.

Who this training is for…

You love yoga. But lately, you've been wondering if there's something more to it.

More than a good workout. More than an hour of stress relief. More than a temporary escape from everything happening in your life.

You have a feeling that this practice could actually change the way you live. The way you think, the way you relate to people, the way you respond when life doesn't go according to plan.

And you want to find out.

Maybe you've had a teacher who changed your life. Someone who helped you see yourself differently, challenged you in ways you didn't expect, or showed you what it looks like to move through the world with a little more steadiness, honesty, and integrity.

You want to become that kind of person. Maybe you even want to become that kind of teacher.

Maybe you're at a crossroads. You're questioning the career you're in, the patterns you keep repeating, or the version of success you've been chasing. You know you have something meaningful to contribute to the world, but you're still figuring out what that looks like.

Or maybe your life looks pretty good on paper. You're not looking to blow it all up. You just have this nagging feeling that there's more to experience, more to understand, and more of yourself to discover.

You're curious about why you do the things you do. Why certain situations bring out the worst in you. Why you can know something intellectually and still struggle to live it.

And you're ready to do more than just think about these things. You want to practice living differently.

You don't need to be an advanced yogi. You don't need to know whether you want to teach. You definitely don't need to have your life figured out.

But you do need to be curious, willing to challenge yourself, and ready to take your own growth seriously.

If you're reading this and feeling that little pull of excitement (and maybe a healthy dose of nerves), there's a good chance you're in the right place.

And this might not be the training for you if…

If your main goal is to earn a 200-hour yoga certification as quickly, cheaply, and easily as possible, this probably isn't the training for you.

There are plenty of programs designed to do exactly that. This just isn't one of them.

We take the responsibility of teaching yoga seriously. And we take the potential of this practice to change lives seriously, too.

That means we're going to ask a lot of you.

You'll be asked to show up consistently. To study, practice, participate, and put real effort into learning. To get things wrong, receive feedback, try again, and discover that you're capable of more than you thought.

You'll also be invited to question some of the things you've always believed about yourself, other people, and the world.

Because here's the thing: we all have blind spots. We all have habits and beliefs that keep us stuck. We all have moments when we'd rather be right than be curious.

And if we're going to teach a practice rooted in awareness, compassion, and freedom, we have to be willing to look at those things in ourselves.

You don't need to agree with everything we teach. In fact, we hope you'll ask questions, think critically, and develop your own perspective.

But you do need to be willing to consider that the way you've always seen things might not be the only way to see them.

Some of this work will be joyful and exciting. Some of it will be uncomfortable. Some of it might challenge you more than learning a headstand ever could.

That's part of the deal.

We're not expecting you to arrive perfectly healed, endlessly patient, or free of self-doubt. None of us are.

We're looking for people who are willing to do the work, take responsibility for their own growth, and stay curious along the way.

And if that sounds like more than you're ready to take on right now, that's okay.

But if it sounds like exactly the kind of challenge you've been craving, we'd love to do this work with you.

What makes this training different

One of the biggest gaps in many teacher trainings is that people graduate having taught maybe one class.

And then they’re expected to audition, lead a weekly class, or step into a teaching role feeling confident and capable.

That leap is rarely supported. And it leads to teacher training graduates who want to teach, but are having a hard time making it happen. It’s a shame.

Here, we support that leap big time.

Most teacher training graduates don’t receive mentorship until well after they’ve graduated and have been teaching for a while—and that’s if they ever receive it at all.

In this training, the leap from theory and training to real-life teaching with support and mentorship is baked right in.

And that’s what will set you apart.

The World of Yoga Teacher Trainings is a Wild West—for the most part, completely unregulated.

And that fact is morally neutral—there are pros and cons.

One of the cons is that any old Joe Schmo can throw together a couple diagrams, charge you three grand and call it The Best Yoga Teacher Training in San Diego 😇.

And to you, I might also be a Joe Schmo! I can tell you I’ve been leading trainings since 2018, that I pour my heart and soul into it, that I invest in my own mentorship as a mentor and teacher trainer regularly, that people will tell you how great and life-changing the training is. But you don’t have to take my word for it. You can also:

  • read for yourself in our testimonials (lower down on this very page, and in my bio I share a bit more)

  • ask to be connected with graduates of this program

  • meet several graduates of this training and other retreats, classes, and courses I’ve led just by coming into the studio and practicing!

  • review samples of both classes I’ve taught and portions of past trainings I’ve led

  • take classes from graduates of this training

  • find verifiable evidence that I’ve been doing this for years

  • enter our training confidently knowing we offer a 6-month readiness guarantee (more info below!)

  • most importantly: set up a time to talk to me one-on-one. In fact, if we don’t know each other already, I insist. I do not want you going into this without having connected with myself or Kaia—your gut will tell you if it’s a good fit or not, and no hard feelings if it’s not :)

The Three “Seasons” of This Unique Program

This training is thoughtfully designed to support real transformation and real skill—so you leave prepared to teach from lived experience, whether that’s in a traditional yoga classroom or in the many other ways teaching and leadership can show up.

Season 1: Foundations

This is where we build the foundation—both for becoming an excellent yoga teacher and for understanding yourself more deeply.

Through four intensive weekends, additional Sunday trainings, and your own ongoing practice, you'll study yoga philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, cueing, nervous system regulation, and the art of teaching.

But you'll also begin examining your own patterns, beliefs, and ways of relating to the world. Because we believe that who you are is your most important teaching tool.

Expect meaningful conversations, plenty of practice, new friendships, and some honest self-reflection. You'll be challenged, supported, and encouraged to discover what you're capable of.

August 12 – October 10, 2027

Season 2: Our Retreat

This is where the structure becomes transformation.

After weeks of studying, practicing, and learning together, we step away from everyday life for a full week of immersion. We'll begin with intensive training at Honey before heading into a residential retreat in Southern California.

You'll teach your first full-length yoga classes, receive thoughtful feedback, and begin discovering what it actually feels like to lead a room. There will be plenty of yoga, meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and time to integrate everything you've learned.

It's a week designed to deepen your relationships, challenge your assumptions, and help you step into your identity as a teacher.

October 18–25, 2027

Final immersion and retreat details are being confirmed.

Season 3: Practice Teaching & Mentorship

Here's something we feel strongly about: earning a 200-hour certification and being genuinely prepared to teach yoga are not necessarily the same thing.

We want our graduates to be ready to walk into a studio, lead a room, and teach with confidence. That's why we created an entire season dedicated to mentorship and real-world teaching experience.

Over six weeks, you'll independently teach six full-length yoga classes while continuing to receive coaching, feedback, and support from your teachers and fellow trainees.

You'll refine your sequencing, cueing, communication, and ability to respond to the actual people in front of you. You'll discover your strengths, work through the nerves, and begin finding your own authentic voice as a teacher.

This is where everything you've learned becomes something you can actually do.

November 7 – December 12, 2027

A Training Designed for Real Life

The virtual option

With the exception of our weekend retreat, this entire training can be attended live via Zoom. (And if you can’t make the weekend retreat in California—we can discuss other options, too.)

That means whether you’re local to San Diego or joining from somewhere else, you’ll still be fully part of the experience in real time—asking questions, participating in discussions, practice teaching, receiving feedback, connecting with your cohort, and growing alongside us every step of the way.

This is not a prerecorded “watch videos on your own time” certification.

It’s a live, immersive, mentorship-driven experience intentionally designed to give you flexibility without sacrificing depth, connection, or accountability.

And because the hybrid structure is built intentionally into the program, there are also times when the entire group meets remotely together—even local trainees. For example, during busy studio hours on training weekends, we’ll gather together on Zoom for lectures, discussion, and integration work.

In other words: Zoom isn’t the backup plan here. It’s part of the design.

We’ve found this structure allows people to stay deeply engaged in the training while still honoring the realities of work, family, travel, and everyday life—making this experience accessible to more people without losing what makes it transformational.

You Can’t Afford to Half-Ass a Certification Like This

  • The only way to make money—and indeed, the way to make good money—as a yoga teacher is to become a really good teacher.

  • Studios rarely hire teachers who’ve only completed prerecorded, fully-online certifications. (As a studio owner, I won’t even audition them—this isn’t to be mean, it’s to save myself time. I’ve never auditioned someone from one of those programs that was ready to teach.)

  • Great teachers are forged through immersion, feedback, and live practice — not passive consumption.

  • If you want skill, confidence, and real opportunities — this is the first step towards that.

If You Want Yoga to Actually Change Your Life, You Need More Than a Weekend or a Workbook

  • Transformation requires immersion, not information.

  • This program includes a full retreat, real-time practice teaching, and months of mentorship.

  • You don’t just learn poses — you integrate the work into your life and leadership.

  • That depth simply doesn’t happen in fast-track or DIY formats.

There is no better time than now to invest in yourself & in this industry—this is one place AI cannot replace us

  • The global wellness industry is now valued at over $6 trillion and continuing to grow.

  • Demand for in-person, high-quality experiences is increasing—not decreasing.

  • Skilled facilitators who can hold powerful spaces are more valuable than ever.

  • The market is already saturated with mediocre teachers. Being a truly well-prepared, well-trained, embodied yoga teacher is rare, and it is the only way to get opportunities in this industry.

Testimonials

“I really don't have the words to articulate what this program has meant to me. Whatever 2 dimensional goals I had before the program have been replaced by a 3D view of life. Actually, a better image is that of the Wizard of Oz; when Dorothy steps out of her black and white world and enters a vivid land of technicolor.”

– Marcella R., 2025 graduate

“If you want to change your life, do this training.”

– Jo A., 2023 graduate

“More than a teacher training. It’s a transformative experience on so many levels.”

– Erin M., 2023 graduate

“I’m more confident, comfortable showing up as myself, and I feel more equipped to lead and teach than I ever have before.”

– Tamina S., 2025 graduate

“I got the teaching job! YTT helped me answer every question they threw my way. Thank you for being an awesome teacher!”

– Laura R., 2024 graduate

If you compared price tags for experiences that include a yoga teaching certificate, you’ll get about about as many answers as there are trainings. It is no secret anymore that you can get a certificate that says you’re a “yoga teacher” for as little as $250, and as much as $5000+.

A prerecorded online certification might cost a few hundred dollars. An in-person training might cost a few thousand or more.

On paper, the choice seems obvious. But what doesn’t get factored in is this:

If you don’t feel confident teaching…
If you don’t get hired…
If you don’t feel ready to lead…
If you didn’t get the incredibly special, sacred experience of going through a Yoga Teacher Training with a cohort of sisters…
If you need to take another training later…

That “cheap” option wasn’t cheap at all. It just delayed the real investment.

On the other side, you could:

  • Pay for an in-person training in San Diego or nearby

  • Book a separate retreat somewhere beautiful to really deepen your practice

  • Invest in mentorship or continuing education so you actually feel ready

  • Piece together specialty training later

And easily spend $7,000–$10,000 doing it that way. Or…

You can step into one immersive, mentorship-driven experience that integrates all of it—intentionally—from day one.

Your Guides

Bridget Regan

Honey Yoga Co-founder, Director of Teacher Training

Why I built this training: Because yoga lovers and yoga-teacher-hopefuls deserve better.

I graduated yoga teacher training in 2014 determined to be a yoga teacher. I taught anywhere that would take me. whenever they would take me. for however much they were willing to pay me. (Including a 6am class that was a 45-minute drive away. And including a studio that I got paid per-head only which meant I was regularly teaching for $5, $10 🤪.)

But in all those years, not one studio owner or senior teacher ever gave me real feedback. No mentorship. No refinement.

When I opened Honey in 2017 and started auditioning teachers, I realized something alarming: by likely no fault of their own, most new (and even several not-so-new) yoga teachers couldn’t actually teach a strong class.

So I built the kind of training I wish more teachers had—one rooted in depth, mentorship, real feedback, and real standards.

Since the first yoga teacher training I led in 2018, I have learned a lifetime’s worth of lessons about teaching, leadership, learning, and yoga. In preparation for every next training I ask myself, How can I make this even better? How can I help them become even better teachers by the end, and even more importantly, how can I be better at creating a space conducive to the sort of self-discovery and growth-seeking that I know will take them closer to true freedom—which is the whole point of yoga. And the most fun way to live.

Kind words from graduates & students about Bridget

“Bridget brings deep wisdom to her approach to yoga and her ability to articulate that wisdom is undisputed. It's so evident how much she genuinely loves teaching YTT students. She pays close attention, calmly provides direct guidance, and might have been put on this earth to do exactly this job. Bridget makes the work she does seem effortless and somehow always manages to make herself available if students need one-on-one time. I love her grounded, down to earth teaching style - no fluff or filler to be found. At the same time, Bridget makes space for everyone to live their truth and genuinely wants her students to progress.” –Maria C., 2025 grad.

“Bridget has a vast web of knowledge that I felt truly grateful to learn from. Her wisdom and experience translated into powerful lessons that prepared us for a wide range of real-life teaching moments. She brings such depth, honesty, and authenticity. I really admire how raw and real she is. She created so much space for us to learn, make mistakes, and be vulnerable. As someone who's Indian, I also appreciated how she honored all aspects and roots of yoga, something that often gets lost in modern day practice.” –Tamina S., 2025 grad.

“AMAZING. Can Bridget just keep leading YTT for the rest of our lives?” –Marcella R., 2025 grad.

“I got the teaching job! YTT helped me answer every question they threw my way. Thank you for being an awesome teacher!” –Laura R., 2024 grad.

“Kaia is sweet and grounding - a nice mix of playful and serious. She shared a lot of important foundational knowledge in a way that felt simple and easy to digest. It was also really encouraging to hear from someone who’s a relatively new teacher herself. Her perspective felt relatable. She's also someone that carries herself with respect, integrity, and classiness, so overall just a great role model.” –Maria C., 2025 grad.

“Kaia is a bona fide listener, a keen observer. She makes interesting connections between what we share as students and what else might be there for us to explore. Kaia brought such helpful insight when she shared her own YTT journey and is someone who truly seems to live a life devoted to the yogic principles that guide her - so inspiring! She is able to break down asana very clearly and really has a gift for teaching in a grounded, calm manner”. –Tamina S., 2025 grad.

“AMAZING. Can Kaia just be my life coach?” –Marcella R., 2025 grad.
