This 200-hr YTT is the real deal. The curriculum is comprehensive: anatomy, philosophy, Sanskrit, pose alignment, assists, sequencing, breathwork...they cover all of the bases in a way that prepares you to be a thoughtful, well-rounded teacher. And--basically from the jump--you're teaching to your peers. There are many practical opportunities to apply the lessons, build confidence, collaborate, and have fun. What's more, the Afterglow teachers are all there to help, too--I'm still reaping the benefits of learning in this community! If you're on the fence, take it from someone else who was, too: go for it!

Jane and Mike did an excellent job of holding the space for learning and fun to happen. Food was excellent. House and accommodations were very clean and comfortable. We had great weather and were able to enjoy the outside amenities. I will definitely be on the lookout for other workshops and retreats hosted by Jane and Mike in the future. I would definitely recommend to friends!

I feel so grateful for my experience with Afterglow's Teacher Training program - I truly couldn't recommend it more! I began this training with the sole intention of deepening my personal practice. By the end, not only had I gained the knowledge and skills to start teaching, but I was surprised to have also developed an excitement and confidence to do so. I credit this to the amazing Afterglow team and community, as well as the thoughtfully designed, comprehensive curriculum. The teachers are one-of-a-kind in their wisdom, guidance and support, and the group of peers in the training created such a safe, encouraging space to learn, experiment, and grow together. I loved diving into the many layers of yoga, and especially appreciated the well-rounded introduction to yoga philosophy and anatomy. This training provided a strong foundation for teaching while opening up so many pathways for continued growth and discovery. I had considered other training programs in the past, but I’m so glad I landed at Afterglow - I can't imagine having completed my YTT anywhere else!

I highly recommend the Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program at Afterglow Studio. I completed my 2025 YTT with deep gratitude for the experience. I initially joined with the goal of deepening my personal practice, which I’ve maintained for over 20 years. Not only did the program provide a strong foundation for the continued growth of my own practice, but it also equipped me with invaluable tools for all aspects of teaching yoga—from practical teaching techniques and class planning to the business of yoga, as well as in-depth studies of philosophy, anatomy, and history. The comprehensive and supportive training gave me the confidence to start teaching. Elena S.

I recently completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Afterglow Studio in Hartford, CT, and I truly can’t recommend it enough. The program was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from in-depth yoga philosophy to over 20 hours of anatomy training. What really set it apart was the heart-centered community of students and teachers who genuinely live and breathe the practice. We also had guest instructors offering workshops on tarot, Ayurveda, acupuncture, and more, which added a beautiful layer of depth and holistic learning to the experience. If you're looking for a training that blends tradition with supportive, modern guidance, this is the one.
