200-Hour YAECP® Yoga & SEL Teacher Training — Self-Paced TNP Wellness | #spreadthecalm
The Same Transformative Training. At Your Own Pace.
Our self-paced option gives you full access to the entire 200-hour YAECP® program — all recorded content, all modules, all curriculum — with the flexibility to move through it on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world.
The only difference between this and our Live & Async option is access to the live virtual sessions with our trainers. Everything else is identical.
Since 2019, TNP Wellness has led the integration of yoga and SEL in schools, businesses, and communities nationwide. Our evidence-based approach combines somatic experiencing, yoga asana, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support mental and physical health across populations.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll be equipped to lead in schools, corporate environments, and community settings.
- Lead adult vinyasa and restorative yoga classes
- Teach engaging, trauma-informed children’s yoga — with games, songs, and age-appropriate adjustments
- Facilitate corporate and community wellness sessions
- Apply polyvagal theory and somatic interventions to support regulation
- Support K-12 youth through Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III interventions
- Build a sustainable career as a wellness facilitator
How It Works
There is no set order to complete the program. Work through all modules at your own pace and submit your teaching practicum when you’re ready. Completion and submission of all required materials is required to graduate.
