Yoga Teacher Training (YTT-200)
Transform Your Practice Into a Legacy
Join Brittany Hawkins Switlick and the YCD community this fall for a 6-month journey into yourself.
किम्
This Yoga Alliance accredited 200-hour yoga teacher training is an extraordinary opportunity to deepen your practice, expand the benefits of yoga into every area of your life, and empower others on their own journeys—on and off the mat.
Through asana, meditation, philosophy, discussion, personal inquiry, alignment, and practice teaching, you’ll experience a powerful transformation—not just in your yoga, but in how you live, relate, and lead.
Results & Outcomes
- A powerful personal yoga practice and a deeper understanding of your body
- A profound understanding of yoga philosophy and how to integrate it into daily life
- New awareness of alignment, sequencing, and assists
- Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and energetics
- Enhanced communication and presentation skills
- The ability to teach a Vinyasa Yoga class
What is Unique About YCD's Training
Unlike many mainstream programs, we go beyond the poses to explore yoga’s rich philosophical roots and how they apply to modern life. Together, we’ll dive into ancient texts and timeless teachings, uncovering insights that support personal growth, resilience, and conscious action.
Our goal isn’t just to train skilled yoga instructors—it’s to nurture wise, grounded, and compassionate individuals who can lead and inspire with authenticity.

Mentorship Throughout the Journey
One of the unique aspects of our Yoga Teacher Training is that you won’t be doing it alone. Each trainee is paired with a dedicated mentor—a graduate of our 200-hour program who has walked this path before and now returns to support others on theirs. These mentors are here to offer grounded, compassionate guidance throughout your training.
Mentors are not here to evaluate or grade you. They’re here to walk beside you, remind you of your strengths, and help you reconnect with your intention when the process feels challenging (as all transformative work does). Many of our trainees say that the mentor relationship was one of the most meaningful and supportive aspects of their YTT experience.
Your mentor will:
- Attend parts of the training weekends alongside you
- Meet with you 1:1 each month to check in, offer feedback, and help you integrate what you’re learning
- Be a source of encouragement, accountability, and real-talk when you need it most

Weekly Time Commitment
TOTAL: 6 hours /week
2.5 hours live (Mondays not following a training weekend)
1.5 hours: peer teaching / integration
2 hours: reading, reflection, asana, and meditation
We’ve intentionally designed this training over the span of five months to allow the teachings to truly land. This isn’t about cranking out certifications. It’s about spaciousness—time to digest, practice, reflect, and integrate.
Life will continue to unfold while you’re in this training, and that’s exactly the point. As life happens, you’ll be applying what you’re learning in real time—deepening your awareness, navigating challenges with new tools, and showing up with intention. It’s long enough for lasting transformation, but not so long that it’s hard to maintain balance with your everyday life.

A Lifetime Learning Tool
Your training includes a full-color, professionally printed manual, intentionally designed to support how adults actually learn—especially when working with physical, subtle, and energetic anatomy.
Color is not decorative here. It supports pattern recognition, spatial understanding, and memory retention, which is essential when learning anatomy, chakras, koshas, and movement-based concepts that live in the body, not just the intellect.
The manual is housed in a durable faux-leather three-ring binder, allowing you to:
- Add personal notes, reflections, and annotations
- Insert supplemental teachings, handouts, and continued education materials
- Reorganize sections as your understanding deepens
