Apply to the Comfort Zone Yoga 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Thank you for your interest in the CZY 200-Hour YTT, Fall 2026 cohort. This application helps us learn about you and confirm that we’re a good fit for each other. Please take your time with it.
The form will save your answers in a cookie on your browser, provided you aren’t using incognito/private mode and don’t clear your cache, so if you need to answer across more than one session, you’re probably fine—but consider setting aside 30–45 minutes to apply in one go.
This training is built around the craft of teaching. It privileges learning structure over memorizing anatomy and sequences. It equips you to become a clear, capable guide in any room.
Some people find that exciting. Some people don’t.

How You Approach the Work
Are you committed to creating your own teaching opportunities after graduation?
*
This means reaching out to gyms, studios, community centers, or corporate offices, rather than expecting a teaching position to be handed to you. This is a feature of the program, not a limitation: the yoga teachers who build the most sustainable careers are the ones who learn to create opportunities.

Find Your Teaching Voice is a free mini course inside Comfort Zone Yoga. It’s the best way to experience how I teach before you invest. Not required, but strongly recommended.
