200-Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in Oregon's Mt. Hood Countryside

This training is a deep dive into multiple yoga styles over 17 immersive days. Lead teacher Shannon Red Cloud, who opened Pure Yoga The Dalles in 2008, brings over 20 years of teaching experience and has certified in 13 diverse teacher trainings. She is joined by Amie, a long-time teacher at Pure Yoga with certifications in Hot Yoga, Power Yoga, Yoga Calm, Yoga Nidra, and SUP Yoga. Together, they create a supportive environment that has earned the program a perfect 5.00 rating from past students.

The course structure is comprehensive, covering 200 hours that blend asana study (80 hours), anatomy (20 hours), and the Yamas & Niyamas (20 hours) with practical teaching skills like communication, demonstration, and the business of yoga. Students benefit from small group dynamics, with a maximum of eight participants, allowing for personalized feedback and mentorship. The program is designed to prepare you to teach an 'educationally sound and inspirational' class upon graduation.

Life at the retreat is simple and grounded. The 40-acre property is a peaceful, rural sanctuary where you can hear yourself think. Between intense training blocks, students have free time to walk the property, watch the cows, explore nearby trails, or participate in optional activities like scenic runs, agate hunting, and happy hiking. The kitchen is communal, with groups often cooking and eating together, fostering a strong sense of community.

The location itself is inspiring. Set against the Mt. Hood National Forest with a stunning panoramic view, the environment is a constant reminder of the natural world. Whether it's the vibrant wildflowers in spring or the crystal snow in winter, the changing seasons add a beautiful backdrop to your personal transformation. This is more than just a certification; it's an intensive, character-building experience in a truly special place.
