True Self Yoga’s 200 Hour Teacher Training offers students a well rounded experience to prepare them to teach yoga. They provide an excellent balance of practical yoga instruction, anatomy, yogic philosophy, and personal growth opportunities. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to take a deep dive into self-exploration to prepare to teach yoga while holding sacred space to support the practice of others.

2026 Graduate

I undertook this training in order to deepen my practice but I wasn’t expecting a transformative experience that would bring new depth to every aspect of my life. As someone in their 70’s used to a gentle practice, I knew the asanas would be challenging but I also knew that the only expectations to be overcome would be my own. To be steeped in yoga philosophy, history, anatomy, asanas, and meditation and guided by wise and gentle (but challenging) teachers was an extraordinary experience.

I would recommend True Self’s YTT for the clear thought and care that has been put into the development of the program, for the excellent variety of instructors, for the community that you build, and especially for the personal transformation you will surely go through. I challenge anyone to leave this program the same person they were when they started it! I also believe that you leave this program truly excited to find the avenue where yoga will take you next.

What a magnificent studio oasis!

True Self is the best yoga studio in Olympia by far! Their variety of classes, from heated and regular, as well as their beautiful studio space, and the deeply passionate and knowledgeable owners all create a safe and supportive yoga community. - Sarah Burdette

They've created and hold space for their yogis so well that even the studio seems to have a sense of it's true self.

I've been a yogi in Olympia for about 10 years and True Self Yoga is the first studio that meets all of my yoga needs, and then some. When you visit True Self, you don't walk straight into a yoga room like most studios. - Camy Naasz

The heated room boasts a special heating system that you need to experience!

Beautiful space to practice with a variety of class offerings, great instructors, kombucha on tap and the latest yoga gear. Two studios: one heated and the other non-heated. Floors are always clean and they also have showers in the changing rooms, which is a must for hot yoga! - Rese Kim

With their combined yoga and meditation experiences and with deep roots in the Olympia community, husband-and-wife team, Vajra Romano and Christina Lagdameo, have established True Self Yoga with the mission to bring out your highest good.
