East Millcreek, Salt Lake City · Spring 2027
The practice you’ve loved—
finally, understood from the inside out.
You’ve been practicing for a while now, and something in you keeps asking: is there more to this than I know? Yoga taught as fitness strips the very things out of the practice that make it transformative. Most trainings follow suit. This one doesn’t. This isn’t just a certification. It’s a turning point. Over seven weekend immersions, you’ll move beyond postures into the full depth of the practice—breath, philosophy, meditation, anatomy, and the art of teaching others. You’ll leave changed in ways you won’t be able to fully describe until it’s already happened.
The YogaSoul Experience
Built on 18+ years of teacher training and shaped by intentionally small class sizes—YogaSoul’s 200-Hour program transforms not just how you teach, but how you live.
Rooted in the direct lineage of Sri T. Krishnamacharya—the father of modern yoga—this program weaves the full spectrum of the practice across seven immersive weekends. You won’t just study asana. You’ll explore pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, ethics, and the art of sequencing a class that genuinely serves your students.
Rachel leads every immersion personally. She won’t just lecture at you—she’ll have you teaching from Day One. As she’s learned over nearly three decades: the best way to ensure you’re not afraid to teach is to learn by doing.
Our graduates describe this as comparable to graduate degrees, major life transitions, and decades of personal practice—not because it’s difficult, but because it reaches into places you didn’t expect.
Clarity Before You Commit
You don’t need to be an advanced practitioner. You do need to be ready to go deep.

How This Works
Full Curriculum
Nothing hidden. This is what 200 hours of lineage-rooted yoga education holds—every topic visible before you commit.
This is the ethical foundation woven into every weekend of your training—not as a lecture, but as a lived practice. You won’t just learn how to teach yoga. You’ll learn how to live it.
Spring 2027 Dates
Dates subject to slight adjustment. Independent work—reading, observation hours, practice teaching—is completed between sessions at your own pace.
Month by Month
Each month is structured to let you integrate before the next immersion begins. The pace is intentional.

Common Questions
The questions we hear most often, answered honestly.
No. While a consistent yoga practice helps, this training is designed to meet you where you are. What matters most is genuine commitment to showing up, practicing regularly, and being open to the philosophical and personal dimensions of yoga alongside the physical practice.
Not at all. Many of our most transformed graduates had no intention of teaching. They came because yoga had changed their life and they wanted to understand why—and go deeper. If teaching does call you, we’ll prepare you fully, and Rachel actively helps graduates find teaching opportunities.
YogaSoul keeps class sizes intentionally small. You will know Rachel personally and she will know you. This isn’t a cohort of 40 students watching pre-recorded videos. It’s a living immersion where you practice teaching from Week One, where philosophy is discussed rather than just delivered, and where Rachel walks alongside you throughout.
Plan for yoga practice 4–6× weekly, reading (about 20 minutes daily), observation hours, and your Seva and Special Project work. Between immersions you’ll also begin practice teaching—which Rachel considers the most important part of your development. The program is designed to integrate into your life, not consume it.
Upon successful completion, you receive a World Yoga Federation 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Certification from the World Yoga Federation—an internationally respected credentialing body rooted in lineage and integrity. This also positions you to continue into the 300-Hour Advanced Training toward a 500-Hour designation.
Immersion weekends are required, but Rachel is communicative and flexible when life intervenes. If you need to miss a session, reach out to her directly as early as possible—she will work with you to find a path forward. She believes in the full humanity of this work.
Yes. You can pay in full or secure your place with a $500 deposit, with the balance due before the program begins. If you have specific needs, contact Rachel directly—she is committed to making this training accessible to those who are genuinely called to it.
From Our Graduates
This program has changed me and changed my life. I appreciate that the emphasis is on teaching. I was blessed with lifelong friends.
Your Teacher & Mentor
Rachel knows what it’s like to feel called to teach before you feel ready. She built this training to be the program she wished had existed for her—one that treats students as serious practitioners, not just certification candidates.
She has been training teachers for over 18+ years and practicing yoga for nearly three decades. As a C-IAYT and World Yoga Federation Grandmaster, she is one of the most credentialed yoga educators in Utah—and among the most beloved by her students.
Her lineage traces directly to Sri T. Krishnamacharya, the father of modern yoga. She teaches the full spectrum—asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, and the ethical life yoga asks us to live—not as separate disciplines, but as one unified path.
Rachel and Eric co-founded YogaSoul in 2013 to offer something increasingly rare: a training where every student is truly known. Where mentorship is personal. Where you leave not just certified, but changed. Her graduates describe her as patient, vulnerable, and deeply heart-led. She doesn’t just teach yoga—she lives it.

Spring 2027 · Registration is Open
You’ll leave with more than a certificate. You’ll leave knowing your voice belongs at the front of the room—and with a cohort that keeps showing up for you long after the training ends.
Spots in our 200-Hour Training are intentionally limited. Small classes are how we do our best work together. You’ve felt the pull long enough—this is your moment to act on it.
Every year you wait is another year practicing without the philosophy that would change how the asana feels—and without the community that would change how you feel about the practice itself.
Most of our graduates say the same thing: they wish they hadn’t waited as long as they did.
