Upcoming Trainings
At Portland Yoga Collective, our continuing education programs are designed for teachers and students who want to keep learning. Each offering is rooted in the belief that yoga is an ongoing process of self-inquiry—one that deepens through study, practice and thoughtful exploration. To ensure these opportunities are accessible, we offer scholarships to our trainings & courses. Additionally, all graduates from our 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training get a life-time 10% discount on all future PYC trainings & courses!
6-hr Thematic Sequencing Course
NOVEMBER 2026
Join Tizzy for a course focused on using themes as the foundation for designing creative and intelligently sequenced Vinyasa classes. This program goes beyond the fundamentals, equipping teachers with the tools to craft meaningful, well-structured, and empowering practices. Rather than centering sequencing around a peak posture, you’ll learn how to develop themes that organically inform the flow and progression of your class.
10-hr The Art of Assists
WINTER 2027
The assisting landscape has changed in recent years — this program meets the moment by emphasizing a present-day, evolving approach to consensual touch and support in your yoga classes.
Join Casey for a 10-hour training focused on the foundations of hands-on assists to offer support in Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative classes. Supportive touch is a complement to verbal teaching to enhance a student’s felt sense and understanding a pose. Expect to learn assists for core yoga poses with the skills and techniques to physically and energetically assist postures safely and confidently. You will establish your own personal code of ethics for consensual assisting in your yoga classes, developing skillsets that are immediately applicable upon the completion of this training.

Yin Yoga Student & Teacher Training
EARLY SPRING 2027
Join Christina for an immersive exploration of the theory, philosophy, history, and anatomy of Yin Yoga. Rooted in curiosity, imagination, and self-inquiry, Yin Yoga invites us to slow down and deepen our practice. This training has been described as a “stay-at-home retreat” & offers two distinct pathways: one for dedicated students eager to expand their understanding of all that is Yin Yoga and another for certified teachers seeking a teaching certificate. With a history of filling up quickly, we encourage early registration to secure your spot.

Yoga Teacher’s Mentorship Group
FALL 2027
Do you have questions about your role as a yoga teacher in an ever changing landscape?
Yoga teachers – this one’s for you! Join Margo Rosingana the first Friday of the month starting in January for a six month mentorship. Rather than learning another technique or modality, this mentorship group is an opportunity to invite more of yourself into your teaching, connect with peers and explore teaching with more authenticity, integrity and presence. This program is open to those who have completed a 200 or 500-hour yoga teacher training. For the program to be most beneficial, it’s best if teachers are currently teaching at least one class a week.
