200HR Yoga Teacher Training

200HR Premium Hot 26+2 Teacher Training

200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certified | Bradenton, FL + Greece

Most Hot 26+2 trainings stop at memorization. At Thavma, we go deeper.

Our Premium Hot 26+2 Training is a 200-hour Yoga Alliance approved program designed to create teachers who can read bodies, guide alignment, and transform students safely and effectively.

 Alignment-first instruction (anatomy + functional movement)
 Learn to walk the room, observe, and adjust — not just teach from the front

Understand movement patterns beyond the 26+2 series (knowledge you can apply to ANY yoga or fitness class)
 Develop confident public speaking skills (graduates often say this training changed how they communicate in life)
 Teach classes with purpose, safety, and power

This is Hot 26+2 as it was meant to be taught: 

intelligent, therapeutic, and transformational.

What You’ll Learn

  • Precise Anatomy + Alignment → learn how to see and correct misalignments in real time
  • Movement Pattern Training → understand anatomical, lateral, and unilateral movement patterns
  • Adjustments & Cueing → move confidently through the room, assisting students safely
  • Functional Sequencing → apply your knowledge to yoga, fitness, and beyond
  • Public Speaking + Leadership → develop confidence, clarity, and authority in front of any group
  • Mind-Body Awareness → help students move beyond flexibility into true strength + resilience

Why Thavma’s Premium Hot 26+2 Is Different
