Dragonfly Yoga Studies | Downtown Fort Walton Beach
RYT 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training – 2025
“This 200 hour yoga teacher training is to help the teacher help what the ancients of yoga referred to as the ‘householder’. How can one teach in a way that is practical, inspiring, and versatile. Most people who come to yoga are just looking for a healthy avenue for relief. Whether that be physical, mental or emotional, their first experience can make or break their opportunity to have a lifelong practice. This is what we teach in this program. To be a teacher who is practical. Inspiring. So that chaos may be reduced.”
~ Laura Tyree
Dragonfly Yoga Studies RYT 200 Program
Be prepared to be transformed in this yoga teacher training program. Laura has spent over 20 years developing this unique program and has certified hundreds of people to be yoga instructors. However, taking this course doesn’t require you to become a teacher. You can also use the program to deepen your experience of yoga as a life practice.
During your time here, you will be immersed in the study, practice, and lifestyle of yoga; changing habits, exploring perceptions, and maturing your inner self.
Here you will develop the knowledge of teaching an empowering, safe yoga class along with the tools to connect and continue to expand your knowledge.
This is a unique training, as Laura believes you are your best self when you retain your individual style and personal approach to the practice. Therefore, your voice, who you are, will not be lost in repetitive language and dogmatic patterns. You will learn to lean into your own journey’s experience to be inspired in your teaching.
If you are interested in attending this 200-hour yoga teacher training program, it is advised that you meet and begin public yoga classes with Laura prior to the program’s start. Her knowledge of your yoga practice will accelerate your learning and experience. Upon graduation, you will qualify for the Yoga Alliance YA200 registration.

RYT 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Course Descriptions:
Foundations of Yoga Practice:
When teaching rises from experience of the practice, it holds a great level of integrity. Deepening your personal asana, pranayama, and meditation practice will provide the richest source of inspiration. When you discover the mechanics of your unique needs within the asana practice, it will lead you to understand the needs of your future students. Additional training in functional anatomy, energetic body study, and understanding the ego and its purpose will provide the balancing factors for well-rounded learning.
• Intensive asana study
• Energetic body systems
• Your personal Anatomy and Physiology
• Pranayama groundwork
• Meditation
• Philosophy of Yoga
• Ayurveda basics through personal inquiry
• Interpersonal development
Our program lineage stems from the teachings of Patanjali. Along with the asana and pranayama, we will study the Eight Limb path on a daily basis, most specifically the Yamas and Niyamas. These ‘codes for living’ help you refine your relationship with yourself, and your relationship with the world. Further study of the Yoga Sutras will expose you to an unending world of investigation into the deepest Truths of Yoga.
Foundations of Teaching
Teaching is the integration of intuition, knowledge, skill, and compassion. To inspire another is a great gift, and this inspiration must be founded on personal integrity and clear intention. Developing these attributes requires trust from both aspiring teacher and acting advisor.
This journey includes the following:
• Attitude and Action
• Asana Fundamentals
• Anatomy and Physiology
• Seeing the body
• Demonstrating
• Physical and vocal adjustments
• Designing a class
• Practice Teaching
• The Business of Yoga
• Specialty yoga
• Karma yoga
• Internship potential

“I absolutely love this place. I tried another place a while back but felt very uneasy there. I’ve taken several classes with Kathleen and she is amazing. The entire place and people make you feel very welcome. I recommend this place to anyone who has even wanted to try yoga, meditation or teacher training.”
“I love the entire staff at Dragonfly Yoga. They are always so willing to go the extra mile connecting on a personal level before and after classes. I love how diligent they are in making sure we all get the full benefit of the class by holding the space and not allowing negative energy to disrupt our practice. I highly recommend DY to anyone who is serious about their practice.”
