Train with purpose. Teach with confidence.
White Sands is a premier teacher training program for sincere practitioners ready to take the seat of the teacher. Whether you plan to teach full-time, lead workshops, or simply live your yoga more deeply — this is the foundation.
Deepen Your Practice
Move past the mat. Refine alignment, build a personal sadhana, and rediscover yoga as a path of self-inquiry.
Learn to Teach With Confidence
Real-world classroom hours, hands-on assists, and the language of cueing — so day one as a teacher feels like home.
Small, Focused Cohorts
Capped enrollment means every student is seen. Personalized mentorship, genuine community, and no hiding in the back row.
Yoga Alliance Certification
Graduate as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with credentials recognized by studios across the country and the world.
A multi-style curriculum, taught by a teacher who lives each one.
You won't graduate as a one-trick instructor. The White Sands syllabus is designed to give you fluency across the lineages most sought-after in modern studios — and the discernment to know which to bring to which room.
Vinyasa Flow
Breath-led movement that builds heat, focus, and a fluent body.
Alignment-Based Hatha
The architecture of asana — precise, sustainable, deeply embodied.
Yin & Restorative
Slow, fascia-deep work that meets the nervous system where it lives.
Pranayama & Meditation
Breathwork and stillness practices to anchor every sequence you teach.
Yoga Philosophy
The Sutras, the Gita, and a clear-eyed look at lineage in modern practice.
Trauma-Informed Teaching
Consent-based language, invitational cueing, and a safer room for everyone.
Led by Simon Tracy, E-RYT 500 & YACEP.
Simon has spent more than a decade in the seat of the teacher — guiding students through their first downward dog and through their five-hundredth. As a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500, he has completed advanced 500-hour training and logged thousands of teaching hours; as a YACEP, he is authorized to lead Yoga Alliance continuing education for credentialed teachers.
His curriculum draws from years of study across vinyasa, alignment-based hatha, yin, and restorative — held together by a simple belief: a great teacher meets the student in front of them.

"I came in to deepen my practice. I left with a teaching voice I didn't know I had. Simon's program is intimate in the best possible way."
"The anatomy modules alone were worth it. Two years in, I still pull from my White Sands notebook every week I teach."
"Of every YTT my staff has graduated from, this one produces the most ready-to-teach humans. It's not even close."
