The syllabus
200 hours of training
The programme covers every subject area required by the RYS 200 standard, from personal practice to leading a class in front of a group.
Anatomy and physiology
Understanding the body in movement: joints, muscular chains, the spine, the breath. Knowing what a posture demands — and who it does not suit.
Philosophy and humanities
The sources of yoga, Patanjali's eight limbs, and the ethics of teaching. What gives the practice meaning beyond physical performance.
Teaching methodology
Building a class, using your voice, demonstrating, observing, adjusting and adapting. You teach in front of the group throughout the programme.
Several styles of yoga
The course moves through different approaches — dynamic, restorative, prop-supported — so you can find your own voice as a teacher.
Professional practice
The essentials of teaching for real: safety, the student relationship, ethics, and how to register with Yoga Alliance USA.
The format
One weekend a month, for ten months
An immersion rhythm that gives the practice time to settle between sessions.
- End-of-month immersionsThe course runs as end-of-month immersions, roughly one weekend per month — a rhythm designed so you can train seriously without putting your career on hold.
- Internationally renowned guest teachersBeyond the weekends, internationally recognised teachers lead weekday sessions throughout the year, bringing their own specialities and perspectives.
- 200 verified hoursThe full contact-hour requirement of the RYS 200 standard, split between practice, theory, observation and actual teaching.
- A deliberately small groupPlaces are strictly limited so that every trainee receives personal guidance and regular individual feedback.
Who it is for
Who is this training for?
Committed practitioners who want to teach — and those who simply want to deepen their knowledge and their own practice.
No spectacular performance is expected. What matters is a regular practice, curiosity, and the availability the ten-month journey requires.
Coming from another world — sport, dance, healthcare, teaching, business? That is common, and it is an asset: your background feeds the teacher you will become.
A preliminary conversation lets us check together that the course matches your level and your plans, before any enrolment.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between RYS 200 and RYT 200?
RYS 200 (Registered Yoga School) refers to the school registered with Yoga Alliance USA — that is Yoga You Center's status. RYT 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) refers to the individual: on completing the course, your certificate of completion entitles you to register yourself as an RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance USA.
Is this certificate recognised in Morocco?
Yoga Alliance USA is a private American organisation, and its recognition is professional and international rather than governmental. As yoga is not a regulated profession in Morocco, it is precisely this international credential that studios, hotels and wellness centres look for, in Morocco and abroad.
Do I need a particular level to enrol?
A regular, established practice is necessary, but mastery of advanced postures is not expected. The preliminary conversation lets us check together that the course suits your level and your plans.
Do I have to want to teach?
No. Many trainees take the 200 hours to deepen their own practice and understanding of yoga, with no immediate plan to teach.
How much does the training cost?
The fee, payment terms and full calendar are sent on request along with the detailed syllabus. Write on WhatsApp at +212 666 818 106.
Where does the training take place?
At Yoga You Center, N° 8, lot El Manar Groupe V, Rue Driss Mhamdi, El Hank, Casablanca: a villa with a large wooden-floored room opening onto the garden, a vaulted lounge and an outdoor space.
Yoga is a physical and spiritual wellbeing discipline that is not governed by any sector-specific statute in Morocco. This programme is therefore a private course of personal development and continuing education, delivered according to the international, independent standards of Yoga Alliance USA, a private American organisation. It awards a private international certificate of completion — not a state diploma, nor a qualification accredited by the Moroccan Ministry of Vocational Training.
