Course program

The Online RYT-200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training by Happy Jack Yoga University is a Yoga Alliance-accredited certification delivered entirely online. Built around the Hero’s Journey curriculum, the program combines self-paced study with an active, supportive global community and prepares graduates to teach yoga confidently anywhere in the world.

This training is for students at any level, including those with no prior credentials or prerequisites. It is designed for practitioners who want a flexible path to becoming a certified yoga teacher from home and for people looking to deepen their own yoga practice.

The curriculum covers asana practice and alignment, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and mudras; yoga philosophy and spirituality (including the Bhagavad Gita and other sacred texts); practical teaching methodology; integrating breathwork, meditation, and yoga wisdom into daily life; leadership, voice and confidence training; and the business side of teaching yoga.

The program is led by the founders Happy Jack and Hanna, both E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance-certified. Jack holds a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School, an MBA, and certifications as a Tony Robbins Trainer and High Performance Coach. Hanna is a yoga therapist and Grief Support Practitioner completing master’s-level training in Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy in London. The school, founded in 2010, has certified more than 800 teachers across 30+ countries.

The format is hybrid: pre-recorded coursework you complete at your own pace, combined with optional weekly live Zoom calls with Jack, Hanna, and guest mentors for learning, support, and community connection. Access is delivered through an ongoing membership that also includes the school’s full 30+ course library, covering Yin, Vinyasa, Restorative, Kundalini, meditation, philosophy, and business. The membership starts with a 30-day free trial and can be billed annually or monthly.

I'm so glad I took this training. It was affordable, and the curriculum was flexible. I worked at my own pace and took so much from the whole experience, deepening both my practice and my teaching. I feel like I've grown immensely as a person throughout this training, and I'm eager to continue my journey as a yoga teacher.

I would certainly recommend the 200YTT to anyone considering it. I got a holistic experience, not just a teacher training. This is a gift.

I just completed my YTT500hr certification with HJYU, which all started back in 2019 when my brother, cousin, and I all joined Happy Jack's YTT200hr Hero's Journey in Muskoka Ontario with open eyes and open hearts. It has been such a fulfilling journey for me, and by no means the end. HJYU's community is filled with incredible people!

I did my YTT 200 HOUR training through happy Jack and honestly best decision I took. Jack and Hanna are wonder people and they truly intent you not to just get a certificate but help you transform yourself the best version. The community is also great, everyone's really supportive and it is such a safe space to grow and be vulnerable.

I have had an amazing experience doing the 200 hr. teacher training course at Happy Jack. I have felt safe all the time and been challenged to do what I didn't expected I could. I can only recommend it if you want to do something great for yourself.
