What the Studios are Saying

I took AYTT with Cheryl for a few reasons. The main reason was flexibility and also customization. In many 300hr YTT’s that I have heard about from yoga teachers and from personal research, the offerings are based on what that particular yoga program deems to be important. This works for many and I love that for them! Though, for me, I desired more autonomy with my curriculum. Being able to choose my curriculum and take both in person and online classes, the process felt like I was earning my Master’s degree in the topic’s I was most interested in. I highly recommend!

Authentic Yoga’s teacher training is deeply rooted in yogic philosophy and tradition, while also providing a strong foundation in anatomy, functional cueing, and assists. You’ll leave this program confident, prepared, and fully supported as a teacher.

Cheryl is a gifted educator who has dedicated her life to sharing yoga and Sanskrit, which makes her training uniquely special. Her warm, charismatic presence makes learning both meaningful and fun. With Cheryl as your guide, you won’t just “know your stuff”—you’ll embody it.

– Studio Owner, Denver CO
I completed all of my 500 hours of yoga teacher training under the guidance of Cheryl Oliver. I flew her in to Dallas from Scottsdale each weekend for training at my yoga studio because she is that good. Her depth of knowledge of Sanskrit, Ashtanga, yoga philosophy, chanting, adjustments, vinyasa., and anatomy is unmatched. Cheryl is a true yogi sage. And somehow her heart is even bigger than her brain. She teaches with zero ego and complete passion for the practice of yoga. I have known her for 15 years and she is truly the role model all teachers should follow. I have immense gratitude for Cheryl’s guidance and friendship. I will continue to include her in as many ways as I can in my studio so that more can learn from her.

– Diana, YTT Student, Dallas TX
Cheryl brought her incredible depth of knowledge to both my 200 and 300 training programs when I was a student and when I opened Arizona Yoga Co Teacher Training with my partner Liz we absolutely knew we needed Cheryl to teach in it as it wouldn’t be complete without her. We brought her in for Sanskrit, ashtanga, chanting and yoga mythology. Our students quickly understood why we sang Cheryl‘s praises. You do not have a complete teacher training program without Cheryl teaching in it and contributing her depth of knowledge in her engaging, fun and interactive teaching style.

– YTT Student, Denver CO
Cheryl Oliver is an exceptional Yoga Philosophy and Ashtanga teacher whose depth of knowledge in the Vedic lineage is truly remarkable. Her teaching approach is characterized by immense patience and profound respect for the tradition, which makes complex philosophical concepts accessible and inspiring. Having been her student through both my 200-hour and 300-hour teacher training programs, and now having her as an instructor at our school, I can attest that her passion and dedication are infectious. Our entire Yoga Community holds her in the highest esteem; she is a cornerstone of our training, and every one of our teachers absolutely loves learning from her.

Yoga Teacher Training at Your Location

Here are the answers to most questions we receive about our yoga teacher training program held at other locations.

How can I be sure Authentic Yoga Teacher Training is a good school?

Authentic Yoga Teacher Training is a Registered Yoga School at both the 200 Hour and 300 Hour (“Advanced”) level with Yoga Alliance. The school has an overall 4.9 satisfaction rating on the Yoga Alliance website, based on the reviews of more than 300 graduates who chose to Register with Yoga Alliance. Cheryl’s local studio and Teacher Training programs in Scottsdale, Arizona (which she closed in 2025 to focus on teaching YTT’s for others) still has a 5.0 Google rating. All reviews are public.

What are Cheryl’s Certifications and Experience?

Cheryl is an E-RYT 500 (the highest level possible) and a YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) with Yoga Alliance, and has been since 2009.

She been practicing and teaching since 1998, and leading Yoga Teacher Trainings around the world since 2004. Steeped in the world of ashtanga vinyasa for more than 20 years, Cheryl is also certified to teach Yin, Restorative, Yoga Nidra and Vedic Chant. She has a special interest in Sanskrit (as an avid student and teacher since 2002) and yoga philosophy, in particular Vedanta and the Yoga Sutra.

What type of yoga do you teach in your 200 or 300 Hour programs?

Most studios are interested in Vinyasa teacher training programs that meet Yoga Alliance requirements, and programs designed by Cheryl go beyond the Yoga Alliance requirements.

In addition to teaching “all eight limbs,” Cheryl includes significant time for students to learn by experience – to practice teaching, receive feedback, and develop their own teaching style.

Because of her ability to customize the program to meet the needs of the studio, Cheryl is also available to teach participants how to teach general Hatha-based asana and pranayama, as well as Yin, Restorative, Yoga Nidra and Vedic Chant, as well as specialized practices for older adults.

If a studio is interested in a topic which Cheryl does not teach herself, her 15 years experience as a yoga studio owner as well as 20+ years running YTT’s, give her access to an extensive network of excellent teachers in virtually every yoga-related subject, including Ayurveda, the Yoga of Sound, Chair Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and more.

We’re not ready to offer a 200 Hour program yet. Are any other options available?

How much do your programs cost?

There is no cost to offer our 200-hour or 300-hour yoga teacher training program.

We get paid based on a mutually agreed percentage split of the tuition payments from your paid students, and there is always a “go / no go” date by which YOU may decide to cancel for any reason.

The exact percentage depends on the amount of customization for your program (yes, there is a budget-friendly off-the-shelf option!), the amount of travel required, and the number of hours we teach in the program. Please contact us to discuss all the details.
