200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga by Autumn x Become A Yogi
A grounded journey into teaching and practice
August 28 – November 15, 2026 • Fort Worth, Texas area
About the Training
This 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is a structured journey into yoga as both personal practice and the foundation of teaching. In collaboration with Become A Yogi, this training is built on a curriculum influenced by Jonah Kest. The approach emphasizes breath-led movement, intelligent sequencing, discipline, and accessibility.
Autumn Gacnik will guide this training in its entirety, holding space for development through study, practice, and integration. Students will be supported in building a strong and sustainable foundation in yoga through both experiential and structured learning.
The training explores asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, and teaching methodology. The intention is not only to prepare students to teach yoga, but to deepen their understanding of yoga as a lived practice.
A central focus of the training is helping each student develop their own voice. Rather than shaping students into a single style or approach, this space is designed to support individuality, intuition, and a personal relationship to movement, breath, and awareness.
Students will learn how to sequence classes, offer clear and intelligent cues, understand functional anatomy, and begin stepping into the responsibility of holding space for others. They will also be encouraged to deepen their personal practice, cultivate consistency, and build trust in their own experience.
This training is both a certification and a period of disciplined study, reflection, and transformation within a supportive community of practitioners.
