Teacher Training II
Registration is Always Open!
FYTT II offers the greatest level of depth of all of the Barefoot Movement programs. It is an opportunity for yoga teachers to deepen their understanding, their practice, their teaching skills and their personal development in a profound way.
FYTT II is specifically designed for graduates of Barefoot Movement’s 200-hour FYTT I program, however, all yoga teachers and graduates of other teacher training programs are welcome to apply.
Upon Completion:
Students receive a certificate from Barefoot Movement which may be submitted, by the student, to Yoga Alliance for registration at the RYT500 level (Registered Yoga Teacher, 500 hour level).
200-hour level I training + 300-hour level II training = 500 hours.
