Since 2005, Verge has been producing the best yoga teachers in the Philadelphia area. The upcoming 2024-25 program will include more content and more practical experience than ever. This will be our most comprehensive program yet!
Through the Verge YTT 200 hour certification program you will:
LEARN - As you take a deep dive into our program, you will have the opportunity to learn about yoga, mindfulness, anatomy, and yoga philosophy, as well as learn about yourself and how you interact with the world.
LIVE - Through mindfulness training, you will learn how to live in the present moment; not just on your yoga mat, but also off the mat in your everyday life.
LEAD - You will develop leadership skills that will serve you as a teacher (if that is what you want), and in every other facet of your life.
Individual Focus. The Verge YTT program is a unique leadership program that focuses on physical intelligence, mindfulness, mental strength training, communication and personal well-being. Regardless of whether you are called to teach, you will build valuable new skills for your work and your life.
October 2024 through May 2025
8 weekends, dates: 10/4, 11/8, 12/13, 1/10, 2/7, 3/7, 4/4, 5/2
• Friday 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
• Saturday 12:00 - 5:30 pm
• Sunday 12:00 - 5:30 pm
In addition to 8 Intensive Weekends, you will have monthly reading/journaling assignments, practice teaching opportunities and assigned hours either taking or observing Verge classes.
The primary interest is personal growth. You do not have to want to be a yoga teacher to participate, just have a passion to grow and a willingness to be challenged. You will dive deep into your body through invigorating asana practice and be challenged mentally with an in-depth look at the history of yoga, the philosophy of yoga, different types of asana practice and the anatomy of the human body as it applies to yoga. You will also have the opportunity to explore mindfulness meditation training that will allow you to tap into yourself on a more spiritual level. Through hard work and dedication and the support of community, you will awaken to an empowered teacher within.
While many of our graduates have gone on to teach yoga, others have applied our training to enhance their careers as therapists, personal trainers, business professionals, partners, and parents. We are committed to helping you make the most of our program so that you take your unique experience into your life and share your journey with others.

Verge Yoga YTT Program was transformative. Highly highly recommend.

The Verge YTT program is a truly comprehensive program, covering so many facets of yoga. The history and fundamentals of yoga is stressed as much as teaching and cueing. I learned how to become a more mindful practitioner.
