A Yoga Teacher Training Designed for Women Who Lead From Within

This 200-Hour Yoga Alliance–approved hybrid yoga teacher training for women blends online study, live mentorship, and an 8-night immersive retreat into a spacious, embodied learning journey.

Created by women, for women, this training is built around:

• how your body learns
• how your nervous system regulates
• and how true leadership actually develops

This is where you learn to teach with clarity and care.
Where your voice becomes steady and authentic.
Where intuition is welcomed — and leadership emerges naturally.

Not by forcing.
But by listening.

Hear from former student, Rosalee:

“The best decision of my life. This work ignited a beautiful spark in me — spiritually, personally, and as a student of yoga. I learned that yoga is so much more than the asanas we see everywhere.”

— Rosalee O.

What This Training Weaves Together

Inner Alchemy: Root & Radiance is a 7-month hybrid Yoga Teacher Training for women that integrates embodiment, education, and lived practice into one cohesive journey.

Inside the training, you’ll explore:

• A well-rounded asana foundation, including vinyasa, restorative, and anatomy-informed sequencing
• Nervous system awareness, trauma-sensitive approaches, and subtle body energetics
• Meditation, pranayama, and contemplative practices
• Teaching and practicing yoga across different life stages, from menstrual health through perimenopause
• Sacred circle, ritual, and ceremony as tools for connection and integration
• The art of holding space, guiding groups, and leading with grounded presence
• Hands-on teaching practice and supportive feedback
• Practical foundations for sharing your work in the world, without burnout

The training begins with an 8-night momentum building retreat and culminates in a 3-day in-person immersion, where everything you’ve been learning comes fully embodied — in your body, your voice, and your leadership.

This is the kind of training many of us were searching for when we first fell in love with yoga.

So we built it.

Yoga was never created for women’s bodies — so we’re rewriting the story.

And most popular sequencing today was never designed with female anatomy, hormonal cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause, menopause, chronic stress, or the lived reality of modern women in mind.

So if yoga has ever felt like it wasn’t built for your body —
you’re not imagining it.

And here’s the part that matters most:

Today, nearly 80% of yoga practitioners in the United States are women, according to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Women are now the heart of modern yoga.
Women practice more.
Women teach more.
Women lead more.
Women heal more.

Yet the foundation of most trainings still reflects a system never built for us.

And that’s exactly why this training exists.

We deserve a yoga education that honors:

• our bodies
• our nervous systems
• our cycles and seasons
• our life stages
• our emotional depth
• and our leadership

Inner Alchemy: Root & Radiance is a conscious rewriting of that story.

This YTT is that training.

Trusted by 700+ women across 40+ retreats and half a dozen yoga teacher trainings since 2014.

This yoga teacher training is for you if you crave…

This is a reclamation of your power.
This is a reclamation of your inner teacher and guide.
This is where women learn to lead.

What You’ll Learn in This 200-Hour Women’s Yoga Teacher Training

The Root & Radiance Method™

A unique approach integrating feminine intelligence + nervous system wisdom + solid anatomical foundation. 

Structure + Flow

A Hybrid Yoga Teacher Training Designed for Real Life

Inner Alchemy: Root & Radiance follows a 7-month hybrid Yoga Teacher Training format that blends online study, live mentorship, and in-person immersion across Nicaragua and Bend, Oregon.

This structure was intentionally created for women balancing practice, work, family, and life — without requiring you to disappear from it.

At a Glance

• 7 months total
• Three live Tuesday evening calls per month (1.5–2 hours each)
• Minimum of four specialist guest workshops
• Weekly accountability and integration support
• On-demand curriculum inside Kajabi
• One international 70-hour immersive retreat
• One in-person graduation immersion
• Bonus: 6-month post-graduation mentorship container to support your transition into teaching

Month 1: Opening Immersion — Nicaragua

In-person | Initiation | Foundations | Nervous-System Grounding

We begin together with a true threshold crossing.

This international immersion marks the start of the training — not as an information download, but as an embodied initiation. It’s where the nervous system settles, the cohort bonds, and the roots of teacher identity begin to form.

This opening immersion is where:

• The arc of the work is established
• Safety and trust are built in the body
• Confidence begins to move from concept to experience

The tone of the entire training is set here — grounded, relational, and deeply embodied.

Months 1–6: Live Mentorship + Kajabi Integration

Online | Integrated | Real-Life Sustainable

Following the opening immersion, the training unfolds through live Zoom sessions and weekly integration alongside your real life.

This phase supports steady growth — not burnout — as skills and leadership mature over time.

You’ll explore:

• Anatomy and biomechanics
• Teaching methodology and sequencing
• Radiant vinyasa and rooted restorative practices
• Women’s health across life stages
• Subtle body awareness and chakra studies
• Yoga philosophy and ethics
• Pranayama, meditation, and inner inquiry
• Teaching labs, feedback, and accountability

You don’t step away from your life to become a teacher.
You become a teacher within it — through practice, reflection, and lived application.

Month 7: Final Immersion + Graduation — Bend, Oregon

Integration | Practice Teaching | Completion

We gather one final time to integrate everything you’ve learned.

This closing immersion is a space to:

• Refine your teaching voice
• Practice teach within a supportive community
• Anchor your confidence through embodiment
• Mark the transition from student to teacher

This is not a quiet ending — it’s a witnessed completion, held in ceremony and sisterhood.

Why This Structure Works

This training is intentionally designed to create depth without overwhelm.

You’re not cram-learning.
You’re not putting your life on hold.
You’re not extracting knowledge and hoping it sticks.

You’re learning through integration, rhythm, and lived experience — allowing your identity as a teacher to develop naturally, steadily, and sustainably.

Yoga teacher training is a transformational journey into the heart of yoga. Whether you’re interested in becoming a yoga teacher or are ready to deepen your yoga practice, this training will guide you into a holistic understanding of this evolving practice of mind, body, spirit connection.

I did my 200hr yoga teacher training with Autumn and it was just great! Autumn is such a lovely teacher in every aspect. She is so inspiring, she has so much knowledge and she was so welcoming and fun. The yoga teacher training with Ambuja Yoga was one of the best experiences in my life and I am so happy to have chosen it. Autumn was empowering and gave us courage on beginning our journey. We learned so much and the training was so well structured. It was not only practice and not just studying, it was learning for life, it was yoga as a whole. A journey through the body, mind and soul and I got the tools and training to grow and shine and also to teach & inspire others. I am so grateful for the connections I have made with Autumn and Toni and the other students. So many inspiring people and such an empowering experience. Something I will remember and be grateful for all my life and I know I can reach out to Autumn any time. Lots of love and thank you so much Autumn

Meet Your Instructors

Autumn Adams, RYT 500, E-RYT 200, PCNYT, YACEP

Autumn’s classes are a delightful blend of her extensive education in dance, Hatha, and Vinyasa Yoga. She crafts dynamic, flowing sessions that gently nudge students to break old habits and explore new boundaries. Her teaching style is light, approachable, and often sprinkled with engaging stories from Hindu mythology or her own life adventures, making each class a unique experience.

What Autumn loves most about yoga is its transformative power—the way it shifts our mindset from “I can’t” to “How can I?” She inspires her students to become conscious creators, urging them to take risks, listen deeply to their bodies, intuition and hearts, and embrace life’s winding path with grace and humor.

She furthered her studies with a 300 hour yoga teacher training with Everett Newell of Zuna Yoga at The Yoga Barn in Bali, Indonesia in 2015. The same year she completed an 85 hour prenatal yoga course with Shana Celnicker-Chong of the Bhaktishop in Portland, Oregon. In 2018, she completed her Level 1 and Level 2 certifications in Thai Yoga Massage at the International Thai Massage Training School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She considers herself a lifelong student and loves nerding out on yoga, anatomy, and living in alignment.

Her retreats have been featured in publications like Insider.com, Shape.com, Zappos.com, Asia Spa, Direct Holiday, and Bend Nest.

Outside of yoga, you can find her chasing down her free spirited little boy, hiking in the mountains, or swimming in the sea.

Are you ready to transform your life? NOW is the time to embark on an adventure of self-discovery and empowerment!

Toni Larson, E-RYT 500

When she’s not guiding others, this Oregonian loves riding her mountain bike, hiking, gardening, whipping up delicious food, or reading a book under the trees.

Her heart’s calling is to show you how courageous, strong, and beautiful you truly are. Anything is possible when you soften and embrace your authentic self. Toni proudly calls herself an Earth Keeper, Spiritual Mentor, and Yoga Teacher.

She’ll encourage you to follow your heart and feel your way through this journey. There are no mistakes here—just a call to learn, heal, grow, and live fully alive.

Why Nicaragua

Nicaragua isn’t just a destination on a map for me — it’s a place that shaped who I am as a teacher, a woman, and a leader.

I first traveled here in college, long before I was leading retreats or building a global community of women. I’ve returned again and again over the years — not just as a visitor, but as someone in relationship with the land and the people. I’ve now hosted five retreats here, and every time I come back, the country opens me a little wider.

I’ve traveled through remote riverways by boat, flown to Little Corn Island in the east, and trekked the jungles in the mountainous north. I’ve climbed volcanoes, swum in volcanic craters, sat in cultural exchanges at village schools, made seed jewelry with local women, and helped release baby sea turtles into the ocean at dusk. And through it all, I’ve been received with extraordinary warmth, generosity, and welcome.

And then there’s San Juan del Sur — a place I’ve fallen deeply in love with. It holds a rare balance of wild beauty and grounded community. Ocean, jungle, dirt roads, yoga decks, and sunsets that rearrange your internal compass.

Nicaragua is not polished.
It’s not curated.
It’s not trying to impress you.
It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is. 

It’s elemental. Honest. Powerful. And profoundly humbling.

This is why it’s the perfect place to begin a teacher training rooted in Inner Alchemy, nervous-system mastery, self-trust, and leadership. This land doesn’t invite you to escape your life — it invites you to enter it more fully. To listen. To steady yourself. To meet what’s real. To remember who you are when there’s nothing to prove.

We’re not choosing Nicaragua for luxury.
We’re choosing it for initiation.

Online Yoga Teacher Training FAQ

My schedule is pretty busy. How many hours will I need to dedicate to yoga teacher training each week?

You should plan on dedicating between eight and fifteen hours of yoga teacher training work per week. This hourly estimate includes: live calls, online video lectures and tutorials, reading and writing assignments, other homework assignments, practice teaching and yoga practice.

What if I can’t make all of the live calls?

All of the live classes are recorded and uploaded to the teacher training portal, so you can watch any of the classes you miss. To receive your certificate you are required to attend at least 80% of the live calls, which means you can miss the other 20%, or approximately 8 hours, which breaks down to about 3-4 calls. Of course, you’re encouraged to attend all of the calls, but I totally understand that life happens.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes, of course! A $1000 deposit reserves your spot in the hybrid yoga teacher training course. If you would like to be on a payment plan, we offer 7, 12, and 18 month payment plans.

What’s required to graduate?

Completion of all modules, assigned homework, group participation, and attendance at 80% of the live calls within 18 months of course start date.

I’m worried about feeling isolated or going through this training alone. How can I connect with others?

You will have plenty of opportunities to connect with other trainees and your teacher! We connect via live calls, chatting in our exclusive Facebook group, one-to-one coaching, small group activities, and accountability partners. We’ve got you covered! It is super important to me that all of my students feel a sense of community and support!

Is this training Yoga Alliance registered?

The Ambuja Yoga School is a registered yoga school with the Yoga Alliance. It is important to note, that this yoga teacher training exceeds the Yoga Alliance curriculum.

I already have a 200 hour certification, but this training is calling to me. Can I still join?

Absolutely. We love having students in YTT who have already completed another course. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge and lean into a different way of teaching and guiding.

Will I receive feedback on my teaching and progress?

Absolutely. Constructive feedback, or what we like to call “Glows and Grows”, is a cornerstone of this teacher training. We want you to come out of this training feeling like you are a kick-ass yoga teacher with a rockin’ personal practice! Feedback is given during live calls, in the Facebook group, and during our in-person immersions. Feedback is also given on homework and written assignments.

Is this yoga teacher training based in science or is it all “woo”?

This YTT merges the scientific with the spiritual through a feminine lens. We discuss the scientific benefits of a yoga practice, from the poses to meditation, pranayama, and even diet and sleep. On the other hand, there is no way to deny that yoga can provide a deep transformation at the spiritual level, so we jump right into yoga philosophy, the subtle body, and so much more.

What if I can’t get all of the online course material completed by our last call?

You have eighteen months from our first call to complete your course material and receive your teaching certificate and you have access to the course materials for as long as we’re offering YTTs (and yes, that includes updated course material). We genuinely want you to succeed. If you need support or assistance, please reach out. As one of my teachers says, “Reach out before you tweak out.”
