🧘♀️What Makes Our 200-Hour Teacher Training Different (And Why It Works)
You don’t need perfect poses to lead. You just need to be real.
At Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, our 200-hour teacher training isn’t about memorizing scripts or chasing credentials. It’s about building confidence, clarity, and the kind of leadership that sticks — on the mat and off.
We’ve been guiding students through this journey since 2014, and we’ve seen it change lives. Not because it’s trendy. But because it’s true.
💥 What Sets Us Apart
We teach what works: Our training is rooted in the Baptiste Power Yoga methodology and the Journey Into Power sequence — a reliable, breath-driven system that helps you teach with purpose.
We live what we teach: Nick and Katie Clark are Tier 3 Baptiste-certified instructors who’ve trained directly with Baron Baptiste. They’ve poured their experience into every part of this program — and into the teachers who now lead our studio.
We build leaders, not performers: This isn’t a training for polished personas. It’s for people who sweat, stumble, laugh, and show up anyway. You’ll learn to lead with your own voice — not someone else’s script.
We’re not Yoga Alliance — and that’s a good thing: We’ve got a whole blog on why we’re not Yoga Alliance and why you don’t have to be either — but here’s the short version: we care more about real impact than rubber stamps.
🐾 Why It Works
Because it’s built for humans. Not hashtags.
You’ll get hands-on practice, unlimited yoga during the program, and lifetime access to resources and support. You’ll learn anatomy, philosophy, and how to teach with clarity and heart. And you’ll do it all in a community that’s grounded, bold, and anything but ordinary.
Whether you want to teach or just deepen your practice, this training will challenge you, support you, and wake you up.
No fluff. No filters. Just leadership that lasts.
