Hybrid vs. Online Yoga Teacher Training: Which Path is Right for You?
When you’re ready to take the leap into yoga teacher training Massachusetts, one of the first choices you’ll make is how you want to learn. At Radiance Yoga in Pittsfield, MA, we know that every yogi’s life and schedule looks different — so we offer two flexible paths for our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT):
✨ Hybrid YTT → online coursework + in-studio practice sessions
✨ Fully Online YTT → study anywhere, anytime
Both options are Yoga Alliance-certified and designed to transform your practice, deepen your understanding of yoga, and connect you with a supportive community. The difference is in how you experience the journey.
