We believe that the best teacher teaching prepares you to teach for life. Our mission as a yoga school is to develop teachers who have the depth of knowledge to teach whichever styles of yoga interest them most, knowing that a teacher’s interests will deepen and grow over time.
Yoga teacher training at Baltimore Hot Yoga & Wellness is limited to 10 motivated students and lead by experts:
- Debbie Vojik, RN, MSN, MSYT E-RYT 500, studio owner and certified yoga therapist
- Gladys Yumet, PhD, E-RYT 500, YACEP, S-IAYT
- Kamaria Joyner, E-RYT 500, Optimal State Yoga Therapist Level 2
- Bob Anders, MD, PhD, RYT 500
- Jen Anders, MD, RYT 500, E-RYT 200.
- Randie Miller, E-RYT 500
- Gail Marshall, RYT-500
We are dedicated to shaping the best teachers, rather than the most teachers.
In an intimate and highly focused environment, you’ll learn to teach the yoga that moves you, whether that is an invigorating hot vinyasa class, a meditative restorative class, or any style of yoga offered at BHYW.
The smaller size of our teacher training means that you’ll receive one-on-one attention to hone your skills, as well as opportunities to teach real, full length classes and develop your style before you step out into world of teaching.
Our training is comprehensive. During your training, you will explore teaching different styles of yoga. If you have a strong interest in a particular style of yoga, you may choose to focus on that style in depth during the second half of the training.
During the intensive training you’ll learn:
- Yogic anatomy and physical anatomy
- Macro-anatomy as it relates to postures
- Kinesiology, as it relates to the physical yoga practice
- Key texts of yogic philosophy, such as the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita
- Introduction to Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga
- Philosophy and key purpose of various styles of yoga
- How to sequence and teach a variety of styles of yoga, including vinyasa, restorative, yin, and the 26&2*
- Teaching themed classes
- Modifications for common conditions and injuries
- Public speaking and in-depth communication skills to help you connect with your students
- Plus, you’ll gain real world experience teaching classes at BHYW.**
Upon completion of our program, you’ll be ready to teach the yoga that moves you. We believe that the best teachers bring both an intellectual and experiential, embodied understanding of the yoga practice to their students.
This training is limited to 10 dedicated students.
Training will include:
- Seminars on anatomy, kinesiology, philosophy, and teaching methodology
- Posture clinics
- Led practices incorporating the postures and concepts addressed during the weekend
- Meditation or yoga nidra
- Discussion of relevant texts
- Seminars and practices with guest teachers
BHYW teacher training is the best of all worlds: an intimate environment focused on YOU and a convenient schedule.

From Our Teacher Training Graduates…
“This was a life-changing experience! The level of instruction was exceptional, with highly experienced teachers in an intimate setting that allowed a great deal of individual attention and additional questions/discussions beyond the core material. This teacher training included exceptional training in functional anatomy, which made proper positioning and modifications so much easier to comprehend. I feel completely prepared to teach yoga. The program also included a deep introduction to the breadth of yoga philosophy and science. It was a powerful experience to deepen my own practice and understanding of yoga. Thanks to Debbie and Lauren and my course mates at BHYW. This is a phenomenal training program!” – Jennifer F. Anders, M.D.
“The instruction offered by Deborah Vojik and Lauren Flax at Baltimore Hot Yoga And Wellness was excellent. They are experienced and thoughtful mentors, and their training covered a variety of anatomic and energetic information. It was a wonderful blend of thorough explorations of effective teaching and the chakras along with an overview of yogic literature, history, and other relevant topics. I have grown so much through this training, and I am so grateful for this experience.”
– Gavon Peck
“I believe I received far more than what training required. I had the chance to comunicate with teachers who took [trainings] in other schools. It was very obvious to me that I was getting the best of the 200 hour yoga training out there… in the region.”
– Najwa Al-Almin
“This training surpassed all of my expectations. I feel as though I am very rounded in teaching yoga and understanding the whole body physically, mentally, and energetically. It was an incredible experience and investment in myself. Thank you Baltimore Hot Yoga & Wellness!”
– Gail Marshall
