present practice school of yoga

The Present Practice School of Yoga offers immersive yoga teacher trainings rooted in yoga as both a practice and a path. Our in-studio programs, registered 200-hour and 300-hour trainings, and focused 50-hour specializations are designed as containers for study, embodiment, and self-discovery.

Grounded in the wisdom of the Eight-Limbed Path, our curriculum weaves together asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and the art of teaching. Guided by our pillars of Discipline, Discovery, and Devotion, trainees cultivate steady practice, deep inquiry, and trust in the unfolding journey.

Whether beginning with a 200-hour training, advancing through the 300-hour program, or refining focus through a specialization, each experience meets you where you are—supported by experienced mentors, thoughtful structure, and a community rooted in integrity and presence.

These trainings are for those called not only to teach yoga, but to live it—with clarity, intention, and heart.

International Training Overview

Yoga Alliance–Certified 200-Hour Teacher Training
Our training format blends self-paced study with an immersive 15-day retreat experience. The flow is designed to move from inner foundation to embodied teaching.

  • Begin your journey from the inside out with School of Being, a self-paced online course authored by Morgan O’Hare. This immersive experience lays the spiritual foundation for the entire training, guiding you into the heart of what yoga truly is—a path of presence, self-discovery, and soulful becoming.

    Through poetic teachings, guided reflection, and embodied practices, you’ll explore:

    • The Eight Limbs of Yoga as a map for living fully

    • The Koshas and Kleshas as frameworks for self-understanding

    • Yoga philosophy made practical for everyday life

    • Rituals, journaling, and movement to reconnect with your truth

    This isn’t just a course—it’s your sacred preparation. A chance to ground into yourself before the in-person immersion begins.

  • Step into presence. This retreat-style training takes place in one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations, creating the perfect environment for deep learning, embodiment, and connection.

    Over the course of 15 days, you’ll live and breathe your yoga practice—through intentional daily rhythm, structured training, and soul-nourishing space. Each day includes:

    • Morning practices to awaken body, breath, and awareness

    • Afternoon lectures and workshops on anatomy, alignment, sequencing, and more

    • Evening practice teaching to grow your voice and your confidence

    • Time for integration, reflection, nature, and connection

    This is where the work becomes real. Where presence becomes your teacher. And where the truth of who you are begins to shine through.

    The retreat intensive portion of training serves as the practical application of all you have learned so far, with a huge focus on practice teaching, sequencing, adjusting, and understanding all there is to know about each asana! You’ll deepen your physical practice while gaining invaluable experience teaching yoga classes so you can graduate feeling equipped to step into your role as a yoga teacher.

    And like with any Present Practice Retreat, you’ll experience the world and connect to yourself in a way you never have before. Training includes fun activities and excursions to get the most out of your time abroad!

Training testimonials

  • Liv Niemann

    Guatemala 200HR YTT, 2025

    "I did my 200hr YTT with Present Practice and I couldn't recommend a training more! Being fully immersed in a new country without everyday distractions allowed me to integrate the teachings at an accelerated pace which I think made the world of a difference. Morgan and Carter had us teaching from day one, building confidence immediately. The combination of focused learning and hands-on practice left me genuinely prepared to step into my role as a yoga teacher. Within a month of graduation, I was confidently leading classes—a testament to how thoroughly this program prepared me. I am so grateful for this experience and can't wait to continue my yoga education with Present Practice!"

  • Alexandria Roemer

    Bali 200HR YTT, 2024

    “I chose Present Practice’s 200-hour teacher training with Morgan in Bali because she teaches yoga with a level of reverence you don’t often see. Everything she does embodies the true philosophy and lived practice of yoga and this training was no exception. Bali cracked me open in a way I didn’t expect. It wasn’t just learning to teach confidently; it was coming home to myself and finally seeing the parts of my life that weren’t in alignment, while creating space to explore what I really want. Morgan’s teaching is comprehensive, intuitive, and genuinely an act of love, and the whole Present Practice’s curriculum and team embodies that. I still think about our morning meditations, the way our group bonded, and how this training strengthened my voice, my presence, and my ability to hold space.”

  • Breze Reyes

    Guatemala 200HR YTT, 2025

    “Yoga taught me how to quiet the noise and turn inward—to find peace in who I am, not who I’m expected to be. This training helped me face fears I didn’t think I could overcome, and reminded me I’m capable of stepping into my strength. I hope to create spaces where people feel empowered to grow and connect with themselves. I’m ready to let my light shine and help others do the same.”

  • Alli Cavanagh

    Guatemala 200HR YTT, 2025

    “This training was the refresher and inspiration I didn’t know I needed. It reminded me that yoga is more than a practice — it’s a way of being, a way of connecting, and a way of remembering all that you already know. The Present Practice pillars of Discipline, Discovery, and Devotion now feel even more alive in my teaching. I’m walking away with a deeper sense of purpose, a renewed love for this path, and memories that will live in every class I teach.”

  • Tyler Beattie

    Bali 200HR YTT, 2024

    “I originally began practicing yoga to alleviate a back injury, causing me to fall in love with the physical aspect of it. It’s truly the perfect companion to any other physical discipline. However, a whole new world of yoga opened up when I began to take Morgan’s class. She was the first teacher that introduced me to yoga philosophy and the idea of moving meditation. Since then, my practice has advanced significantly and I began to read and explore more yoga/zen philosophy. Morgan is truly my favorite teacher and I will forever be a student of hers. When she announced her 200-hour teacher training in Bali, I was one of the first to sign up.”
