Kula Yoga Studio, Florida · Sep – Nov 2026
Hot Yoga 200-hour teacher training
Study online at your own pace. Come together for four weekend intensives in the hot room. Finish as a Yoga Alliance registered RYT 200.
Become a teacher without leaving your life behind
A full 200-hour certification usually means a month away from work. This one doesn't. The coursework is online and self-paced, and the in-person work is packed into four weekends at Kula — so you keep your job, your family and your routine while you train.
Online, on your schedule
Video lessons, posture breakdowns, anatomy and philosophy modules, plus 1:1 live mentoring with Evolation faculty. Work through it in the evenings, on weekends, whenever it fits.
In person at Kula
Four weekend intensives in the heated room. Practice teaching with live feedback, hands-on assists, and the parts of the craft that only land when someone is watching you work.
The original 26+2
You learn the authentic hot sequence — 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises — from the school whose founders won the case that made it free for everyone to teach.
Four weekends, start to finish
The online coursework runs continuously from September. These are the dates you'll be on the mat with us at Kula.
Opening weekend
Meet the group and the faculty, get oriented in the online platform, and begin working through the first half of the sequence posture by posture.
Two daysPosture mechanics
Alignment, entry and exit, and the mechanics of the standing series. First rounds of practice teaching in front of the group.
Two daysAnatomy and the floor series
Functional anatomy applied to the sequence — what heat does, where the load goes, and how to modify safely for the bodies in front of you.
Two daysTeaching out loud
Cueing under pressure, hands-on assists, reading a room. Final practicum and the business of yoga — getting hired and building a following.
Two daysFurther dates to be announced. If you miss a weekend, you can make it up at any Evolation training of the same style, anywhere in the world.

Who you'll learn from
Evolation faculty
Evolation was founded in 2009 by Mark Drost and Zefea Samson. The two of them studied directly with Bikram Choudhury for a decade, then won the landmark legal case that confirmed the 26+2 sequence belongs to everyone.
Since then they have built a faculty that has certified thousands of teachers now working in studios worldwide. Expect precision about the mechanics, and equal attention to the part of teaching that can't be written down.

Before you enrol
No. The 200-hour is the entry point. You need a steady personal practice, not a teaching background. On completion you can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200 and teach anywhere in the world.
The majority of the coursework — lectures, anatomy, philosophy, posture theory — is online and self-paced. The four weekends are reserved for practice teaching, assists and everything that needs a room and a group.
Tell us as early as you can and we'll work it out. You can make up missed hours at any Evolation training of the same style, at any of our locations, or through additional online modules.
A steady existing practice matters more than flexibility or strength. You'll be practising and teaching in a heated room across the weekends, so come with your practice in reasonable shape and tell us about any injuries in advance.
Yes. A deposit reserves your place and we arrange the balance individually. US students pay by Venmo, Zelle, Cash App or Revolut — we'll send the details once you apply. Write to train@evolationyoga.com with any questions first.
Teach. Many graduates start at their home studio within weeks. When you're ready to go further, the 300-hour Hot & Flow adds vinyasa on top of the hot sequence and takes you to RYT 500. Ask us and we'll send the dates and dollar pricing.
