WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY: SAY HELLO TO A ONE-OF-A-KIND, WEST COAST, 200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM.
P+Y and Mojave Yoga Collective offer a meaningful, experienced-based, and approachable take on yoga teacher training. Here, it’s not about what’s fastest, cheapest, or trendiest—it’s about what’s most effective and what will truly benefit you for a lifetime after you leave our school.
While we can teach you how to say all the right yoga words and look just like a yogi—that’s not exactly our jam. Instead, we focus on implementable research and a well-rounded experience to ensure you walk away confident in your knowledge and empowered with a comprehensive education that has serious longevity.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT? ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS, OF COURSE
Here, you’ll find the perfect balance of practicality, approachability, and authenticity. We let ancient roots inform our refreshing approach to yoga teacher trainings—and we’re down to make some serious connections (sans awkward team-building) along the way.
Our mission is to provide you a safe, friendly, and light-hearted atmosphere to explore yoga further. Whether your goal is to become a yoga teacher or simply deepen your practice, we’re here to make yoga teacher trainings accessible for everyone—which is why we embrace smaller class sizes, more intimate discussions, and a balance of intentionality and approachability in all that we teach.
You don’t have to be fluent in Sanskrit. You don’t need to nail a flawless scorpion forearm stand. You simply need an open mind, a willingness to be human, and the desire to roll out your mat, get down, and dig in with us. If ours sounds like an approach that’s speaking straight to your soul—you’re officially in the right place (hey, look at you go).
Our next 200 hour yoga teacher training starts FALL 2023!!!

About your instructors…
Meet Kelsey!
Hey, friend—I’m so glad you found MYC. I believe yoga can be about the moon-howling, third-eye-finding, soul-searching kind-of stuff—or it can be about the physical challenge: the core-strengthening, sweat-dripping, side-planking kind-of stuff. I like to balance both. After rolling out my mat for years, I eventually found myself looking for a way to deepen my practice, which led to attending my first yoga teacher training in 2010: a 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga training with Its Yoga in San Francisco. I’ve since completed a 50-hour Rocket Training with Ashta Yoga San Francisco and, most recently, a 300-hour Ashtanga Yoga teacher training with Kranti Yoga in Goa India (I’ll tell you all about the elephants later).
When I’m not on my mat, you can find me traveling or hiking with my husband and our two very enthusiastic pitbulls, Ella Fitzgerald. I grew up roaming around Red Rock Canyon and am an avid outdoors enthusiast who’s fueled by Biggie Smalls, breakfast for dinner, and big, blue skies.
Meet Smithy!
A 21-year Las Vegas resident, originally from snowy Toronto, Canada (talk about a change), I discovered yoga late in my professional dance career when I realized my body wasn’t loving the stage life as much as I did. What originally started as a method to strengthen and maintain my body—and hopefully reverse some of the damage dancing had done—became a deep love of the practice.
So when I was offered the chance to attend yoga teacher training, I rolled up my mat and leapt in feet first. Training taught me there was so much more to yoga than I ever thought, and I couldn’t wait to share the practice with others in a meaningful and approachable way. Soon after completing my yoga teacher training, I became fascinated with the nervous system in relation to grief, trauma, and stress and dove deep into the vital role yoga plays in the process of moving through difficult experiences and rebalancing the nervous system. Today, I love nothing more than helping others heal, restore, rebalance, and tap into the power of play through the practice of yoga. When I’m not on my mat, I’m most likely snuggling my two fur babies, Zoey and Bob or enthusiastically watching a hockey game (Go Knights Go!).

FAQs
What is Yoga Teacher Training?
Our 200 hour YTT program in Vinyasa Yoga is designed to take you on an inner journey of self-discovery, help you strengthen your personal yoga practice, and share with you the skills you need to teach yoga in a meaningful, impactful way.
I'm new to yoga, can I do teacher training?
While we do recommend you have some level of familiarity with yoga before embarking on teacher training, you certainly don’t need to be anywhere near a seasoned pro. Practitioners of all levels can benefit from our Teacher Training. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to play.
I'm not sure I want to teach, is yoga teacher training right for me?
Absolutely. Teacher Training is an amazing way to transform your personal practice and deepen your knowledge of yoga (and of yourself). The desire to teach is not at all essential to the experience.
What are the MYC graduation requirements?
In order to graduate from the program, you must be paid in full and fulfill the following requirements:
+ Attendance of in-class teacher training sessions
+ Successful completion of homework, quizzes, mid-term, and final exams (don’t worry, you will be well prepared!)
+ Participation in a final in-class practice teaching practicum
+ Completion of class taking requirements
How long is the training?
The training runs for 11 weekends (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) from September 8th until November 19th!
Are the dates flexible?
The training dates are not flexible. In order for everyone to properly plan around their schedules we do not move these dates around.
What happens if I miss a session?
If you must miss a day, or know you are going to miss a day in thr future, reach out to your trainer ASAP. If you have missed a lot of curriculum you can pay the hourly one-on-one training rate to go over the material with your trainer. This usually is very efficient since there are no other students and means you can condense the time you missed.
Why should I choose MYC at P+Y?
ALL of our instructors are certified and insured. Not only do we want you to complete your training, we want you to feel confident in your teaching abilities from the day you walk out of your 200hr YTT course. We give you full access to the studio during business hours. This experience will shape you so that you are well rounded and ready to teach by the time you graduate. You will also receive 40 studio credits to use during your 200hr YTT! This is all included with your training and is not an additional cost.
