 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

November 2026 through March 2027
Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School · RYS 200 & RYS 300

​A personally led hybrid training in teaching, self-leadership, and the practice of becoming

​

The RedTail Power Yoga 200 Hour Teacher Training is a comprehensive, highly personal experience for those who feel called to teach and for devoted practitioners ready to deepen their understanding of yoga, leadership, and themselves.

​

You do not need to arrive knowing whether you want to teach.

​

You may be ready to lead a room. You may want to develop greater confidence, understand the practice more fully, or explore what becomes possible when yoga moves beyond something you do and becomes part of how you live.

​

Led by RedTail founder Maureen Benedict with the support of experienced senior faculty, the program combines six immersive weekends, live online learning, guided self-study, practice teaching, and direct feedback.

​

Ancient yoga philosophy meets modern anatomy, neuroplasticity, evidence-informed teaching, mindset work, and the inner work required to show up with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.​

​

More Than a Yoga Teacher Training​​​

A meaningful teacher training moves yoga from something you practice into something you live. You will learn to listen deeply, hold space, and bring the wisdom of yoga into how you meet yourself and others. Whether you intend to teach or are here to deepen your own practice, you will learn to see more clearly, communicate more powerfully, and show up with greater skill, confidence, and authenticity—for yourself and others.

​

What Sets This Training Apart​

  • Personal leadership from Maureen Benedict, bringing together her work as a thought leader, speaker, writer, coach, and experienced yoga educator

  • An intentionally intimate cohort with direct coaching, feedback, and faculty support

  • Mindset work, public speaking, and extensive practice teaching designed to build confidence and presence

  • A proven RedTail methodology refined through years of teacher development

  • Modern anatomy, biomechanics, accessibility, and neuroplasticity in conversation with ancient yogic wisdom

  • Yoga philosophy used as a practical tool for self-leadership, relationships, teaching, and everyday life

  • Maureen’s original frameworks, including The Agreement Audit, The Art of Becoming, and Fearless Facilitation

​​

Who This Training Is For​

This experience may be for you if:

  • You feel called to teach and want a strong, responsible foundation

  • You love yoga and want to understand what exists beyond the poses

  • You want greater confidence in your voice and presence

  • You are interested in yoga philosophy as a guide for living and leading

  • You value personal connection, direct feedback, and meaningful participation

  • You are ready to examine the beliefs and hidden agreements shaping your life​​

​You do not need to be the most advanced practitioner in the room. You need curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to engage fully in the experience.

​

A Hybrid Training That Remains Deeply Personal​

This program preserves the connection and hands-on learning of an in-person training while using live online sessions and guided coursework to support integration between weekends.

​

The training includes:

  • Six immersive training weekends

  • Live Wednesday evening learning sessions

  • Select Friday evening Zoom intensives

  • The 40 Days to Personal Revolution program

  • Guided reading, reflection, observation, and coursework

  • Practice teaching, direct coaching, and faculty assessment

​​

This is not a primarily self-guided online certification. You will be known, supported, challenged, and actively involved throughout the experience.​

​

From Past RedTail Graduates

​

​A Deeper Practice and Lasting Community

​

“RedTail’s 200-hour YTT enriched my life in so many ways. Through self-exploration, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and valuable tools to approach my life in a more peaceful and empowered way. I now have a deeper love and appreciation for my own practice and view this as just the beginning of my yoga journey.

​

Maureen and her wonderful team provided so much support, love, and a beautiful sense of community throughout the process.”

​Stepping Into Greatness

​

“My 200- and 300-hour trainings were life-changing. I grew not only as a yogi and teacher, but as a person. Maureen taught me to trust the process, step into my greatness, and recognize that what I focus on, I give power to—on and off the mat. Her wisdom and love shaped the entire experience.”
