Radiant Teacher Training

Radiant Hot Yoga teacher training was the best experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. Darlene (owner of the studio) and her two daughters are incredible people and I learned so much about myself and yoga through their guided support.

Thank you Radiant Hot Yoga for allowing me to explore my myself and deepen my yoga practice. The training there was amazing and it was so great to get to know so many like minded supportive people.

An incredible program and beautiful studio! Couldn’t have asked for a more loving, comfortable, and knowledgeable place to do teacher training. Enjoyed every moment and learned so much. Honored to be a part of the Radiant Hot Yoga community.

9 weeks of truly transformation. It was intense, especially for someone who has a full time job like me. But I got a lot of help, encouragement and support from everyone from the studios.

At the end of the program, I felt healthier than ever, it really helped me to build up my strength and my confidence. I learned so much from here, it’s not only about the yoga poses but the philosophy behind it. The training was really a life changing experience for me.

I highly recommend the program to everyone who wants to deepen your knowledge of yoga, even if you don’t want to teach.

The Radiant Hot Yoga teacher training program changed my life! I became a more open minded and confident person because of it! Radiant Hot Yoga has a set sequence and they do an amazing job teaching you how to step by step get people in and out of postures.

The only reason why the score is not higher for the recommendation rating is because if you are someone that wants to learn how to sequence your own material you will not get that in this teacher training. However, I went into the teacher training with intention to learn the Radiant Flow so that’s why this training was perfect for me!

After completing the Radiant Hot Yoga Teacher Training program in 2019, it became clear to me why Radiant’s teachers are different from all the rest. I’ve traveled the world seeking out studios and teachers, and I found the teachers at Radiant to be a cut above the rest.

This teacher training program is so much more than a deep dive into yoga philosophy, asanas, anatomy, etc. It’s a complete overhaul of a person’s psychology, spiritual disciplines, and approach to life.

Any person wanting a lifetime of peace, passion, and personal empowerment should take the Radiant Hot Yoga teacher training program.

Radiant Hot Yoga teacher training process works! It has helped me become more confident, open and a better communicator in all aspects of my life. I strongly recommend this program.

So very grateful to be able to complete my Yoga Teacher Training at Radiant Hot Yoga. I feel they go beyond which is required for preparing those who want to give back to others, with what it was we find in our soul, heart and mind; able to find peace within the world in which we live, by the means of practicing yoga.

I enjoyed every minute of the 200 hours. Radiant was a home away from home before I participated in teacher training but their program takes you deeper and builds relationships with your fellow trainees. If you like it hot, this is place to be.

And if you are looking for a family, you will not find a more loving, encouraging, empowering and RADIANT one.

Their name is exactly who they are and learning from this studio has been life changing.

Doing my teacher training with Radiant Hot Yoga changed my life. I cannot imagine a better experience. Throughout this teacher training program, I found myself. I identified my passions. I opened up to people in a way I have never been capable of doing in the past. I met my best friends, my soul family. I found a new sense of confidence in myself.

I became so much more than a yoga teacher. I highly recommend this experience to anyone even slightly interested in doing a teacher training program.

I am forever filled with gratitude to everyone involved in this program.

Darlene is a beautiful soul, as is her daughter, Skyler– they’re both so full of light and radiant energy.. it’s no wonder they named their studio Radiant Hot Yoga–– it’s a testament to their commitment to keep their space full of vitality and will be sure to have you glowing every time you leave your yoga practice. ♡

A truly life changing, transformative experience.

Forever grateful for YTT at Radiant Hot Yoga with Darlene!

Getting my RYT 200 at Radiant Hot Yoga was one of the best decisions I ever made. Darlene has put together a comprehensive eight-week program that challenges the mind, body, and spirit in ways you can’t even imagine.

I graduated from the program not only ready to begin teaching heart-centered yoga, but I also emerged as the best version of myself ready to pursue my calling as a healer. I will be forever grateful for the space that Darlene provided for healing, learning, and personal growth that I experienced during Radiant Hot Yoga’s RYT 200 program.

Namaste.

This was a life changing experience. The curriculum was outstanding on all levels. Instruction amazing, including all the guest speakers. Cannot speak highly enough about this program at Radiant Hot Yoga in Newport Beach. Darlene Dearen is a true healer, guru, human being extraordinaire!

I cannot describe in words how amazing this yoga training was. It was forever life changing in the most positive, beautiful way. Darlene is the epitome of a goddess and I adore her forever.

She is truly magic and I am so grateful to have been able to experience this journey with her by my side. I hope one day she does the 300hr so I can also sign up. There was so many aspects that she covered so thoroughly.

I learned so much about the history of yoga, our anatomy, and the benefits of this lifestyle. If you’re on the fence about going to Radiant, let this be your sign to go for it. You’ll forever thank me. Namaste.

The TT Program at RHY was fantastic. We touched on so many aspects of the practice and really emphasized a deep personal dive into the self. I am thoroughly inspired and continue to study every day.

The Radiant Hot Yoga teacher training program is truly an experience of a lifetime! Darlene provides a safe space to dive deep within yourself and allow your inner voice to shine. You will feel the love, warmth, and encouragement of the Radiant community and teachers right when you walk in the doors.

The training curriculum is fun, interesting, and interactive. Guest speakers from the community bring in a wealth of knowledge. You will open, expand, and transform in ways you never imagined. You will find clarity on what the purpose of yoga is for your unique self. If you hear a faint whisper from your intuition guiding you to this teacher training, I encourage you to lean in and trust that calling!

To sum up my experience, I will end with words from my teacher, Darlene – “As you begin to blossom in this Teacher Training, be mindful and perceptive to how you feel, your thoughts, the colors outside, the sky might seem bluer, the trees a little greener, the feeling and knowing that you are connected to everything around you. This is the beginning into Self Realization.”

I will cherish my teacher training experience at Radiant Hot Yoga all my life. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for the abundance of love, growth, learning, and beautiful connections that I was able to be apart of. My Radiant family has touched my heart deeply. The training is enlightening, transformative, and powerful. I was able to take a life-changing deep dive into my yoga practice and myself, and successfully learn how to teach.

It is one of the best things I could have ever done for my life. It has filled me with so much happiness and I would be honored to recommend this incredible experience to anyone.

This studio doesn’t offer just yoga classes, it offers a community, a safe haven to heal and a place to deeply align with your body while stilling your mind.

Having taken 200 hours of yoga teacher training and teaching yoga classes for years… I am super picky with studios that I attend. Every single class you have the opportunity to honor yourself on your mat while being transported with the guidance of all of their wonderful instructors. This is a hot class (my favorite) and you must remember to register for classes online before coming to the studio as they do sell out. I’ve never taken a class from an instructor that I didn’t love… my favorites are Jojo and Darlene and their front office staff are always super accommodating and helpful. You won’t regret joining this amazing studio!!!

I’m obsessed with Radiant Hot Yoga and the beautiful souls there!

I love this yoga studio so much. It is a place of strength, growth, and love for the body and the mind. The instructors are amazing and their hot yoga sequences are a perfect balance of challenging your body and going inward.

I just finished their life-changing teacher training and can’t recommend it enough to anyone.

Do you want to deepen your yoga training? Find spiritual growth? Learn to love yourself and spread love and light? You will get all of these and so much more.

Yoga TT is so much more than becoming a yoga teacher. It’s an experience that will change and magnify your life. You will find a deeper understanding for yourself and experience enlightenment and growth. You will learn to vibrate and function at high energy levels. You will make lifetime relationships that will make your daily life more fulfilling and fruitful. If you are contemplating on Yoga TT, I highly recommend it and encourage you to take that first step.

Ever since I started TT, I felt different. It was a change. A change in schedule, a change in habits, a change in what I feed my life with. I naturally started to heal, grow, and become healthier physically, mentally, and emotionally. I felt and still feel so fulfilled and grateful with all my heart. I thank all my fellow TTs for opening their hearts, shining their light, and bringing the group so close together. It’s made a priceless difference in my life.

My radiant hot yoga teacher training experience was life-changing.

Not only was I able to learn about the study of yoga in depth, but it was so therapeutic and it allowed me to sincerely tap into my emotions and so helpful in terms of natural healing. I am so grateful for this experience, my favorite part was meeting the incredible people that I met through this training, from the teachers to the other students, it was such a powerful connection and a strong bond that was created which will be life lasting. From the first day to the last day, every moment was so special and something that I wish I could replicate on a daily basis, I will sincerely miss these classes and I am extremely interested in participating in another teacher training program at radiant hot yoga in the near future.

The transformation that I made, along with the other students in the class, was extremely evident… The lead instructor, Darlene Dearen, is so special in every way possible and I am extremely thankful for her tutelage, guidance and continual support. I will forever remember these times and cherish them with my heart and soul, I completely recommend this course to anyone that is interested in yoga, therapy, connection, nutrition, the history of yoga in depth, anatomy, and overall health. I loved the various exercises, projects, journaling, and all of the guest teachers as well. My yoga and overall well-being has improved immensely in this short period of time and I owe it to RHY TT.

Thank you,

Tyler Maxwell

I will cherish my teacher training experience at Radiant all my life.

My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for the abundance of love, growth, learning, and beautiful connections that I was able to be apart of during those seven weeks. My Radiant family has touched my heart deeply.

The training is enlightening, transformative, and powerful. I was able to take a life-changing deep dive into my yoga practice and myself, and successfully learn how to teach. It is one of the best things I could have ever done for my life. It has filled me with so much happiness and I would be honored to recommend this incredible experience to anyone.

If you are thinking… “I can’t even touch my toes, why would I attempt to teach a yoga class?” You are disillusioned. This program is especially for you.

I have been a part of the Radiant Hot Yoga family since 2015 and completed the Teacher Training Program in the Fall of 2018 and again in 2022. I am truly blessed to have found a community unlike no other. If you are thinking… “I can’t even touch my toes, why would I attempt to teach a yoga class?” You are disillusioned. This program is especially for you. From the moment you begin, you are embraced with loving open arms by Darlene and her daughters.

It has been designed for men and women of all ages and experience levels. You will embark on a spiritual journey of mind, body and soul. If this opportunity has come your way and you have the slightest inkling of interest, one of the things you will learn in “TT” is to always trust your intuition. You will receive an expansive education on this practice that has transcended over time dating back thousands of years. Yoga is a universal language and one that every human should speak. You will become instantly bonded with your fellow “TT’s”. I met my best friend during Teacher Training in 2018 and in 2022 my yoga brothers and sisters will always remain in my heart. Like-minded people are brought together, however the organic connection that develops is extraordinary. I anxiously awaited every week with great enthusiasm knowing that what was planned would bring an overwhelming amount of clarity, awareness, history lesson or expedition down a spiritual path. This program is truly magical and I hope you make the decision as I did, to take a leap of faith and try something new that will enhance your life forever.

I just completed the 200-Hour yoga teacher training. Three words – Life changing experience!

Embarking on the this teacher training at Radiant was one of the most incredible awakenings of my spirit, my heart and my understanding of yoga. The course definitely taught me about anatomy, alignments, yogic texts, philosophy and a beautiful sequence of asanas that is beginner-friendly and for advanced yogis.

This course not only taught you how to teach, but how to deepen your own practice and live your yoga. One of my favorite parts of the training was learning to project my voice in a classroom, stand tall and find confidence within my self. Initially, I was nervous about the whole process, but very quickly realized that it was all about self-development. The amount of growth I have felt & experienced within the YTT is unparalleled to anything I have done before. Giving yourself the space to blossom into a teacher is something truly unique. The various training weekends introduced me to new ways of thinking, as well as new ways to look at the world. I can’t fully articulate how special this teacher training was for me, but rather it is something one has to experience for themselves in order to fully understand. To anyone looking to further their own journey, whether that be spiritually, mentally, or physically, I can’t recommend this path enough. Darlene is a vessel of guidance, light, love, a inspirational teacher who presented yoga in a way that allowed each of us to find our own paths. Whether you intend to teach or not the course will give you a better understanding of Yoga and the amazing changes it can make in your body, mind and spirit.

Teacher Training has changed my life! I completed my Radiant Hot Yoga Teacher Training in the Summer of 2019 and was blessed to be able to complete a second training Fall of 2022.

Both were extraordinary experiences that I cherish so deeply in my heart. I didn’t know what to expect or what I would get out of going into the training but to my surprise it was pure magic. 7 weeks of pure exploration, wonder and soul touching magic. I would sign up and complete this training over and over again if I could.

The lessons and deep dive exploration into one’s self taught me to love myself and put myself first. It provided me with all the necessary tools and self development to be vulnerable by diving further into the deepest parts of my heart and soul where I had buried so much trauma that caused me pain and sadness. By facing it head on it allowed me to ultimately release and let go of what no longer served me and from week one Darlene and Skyler were always there to provide a space of love, comfort and support for myself and all the beautiful souls shifting in to the greatest versions of themselves.

Sharing energy is far more than sharing a physical space with another individual. It requires a person to be present within a moment, choosing to interact and nurture another. It requires a certain level of self sacrifice, choosing to step back from our personal wants, focuses or desires so that we’re able to mutually connect with another person about theirs.

Being a part of a group of people who have the same energy for you that you have for them is priceless. You ride for them they ride for you. You nurture them they nurture you. You respect them they respect you. It all comes down to the alignment of vibrations and Darlene and Skyler provided us with the most beautiful and safest place to nurture each other in this life changing experience. I cherish them, appreciate them, and love them the studio and my TT family so much.

Don’t allow the stresses or influences outside you distract you from the effort required towards the blessings you have, your self, your heart and your soul. Over time life progresses, we evolve, we change. The priorities we once had… may have also shifted. If you have thought about doing Teacher Training don’t think twice and dive in, I encourage you to be brave and not to look back and do this for yourself because your future self and your younger self will thank you. ❤️✨

My yoga teacher training was such an incredible experience that I will cherish forever.

I got to dive in deep into my personal healing journey, which has been life changing. I met and connected with incredible people including Darlene, Skyler and all the teacher’s in training. This experience was so much more then I expected with my overall physical, spiritual and mental well-being. If you’re ready to step into your truth, and transform from the inside out, this program is for you.  The depth and insight you learn about yourself is something you can’t put a price on. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to elevate and become a more authentic and beautiful version of themselves.

This teacher training has provided me with an abundance of knowledge, self growth, and a warm, supportive community.

I had practiced yoga for about 4 years prior and felt an urge to dive deeper, but I was unsure whether this was the right time to pursue it, or if it was the right fit for me. I soon learned that everyone can take with them from this training what they truly need. The common denominator is that everyone is likeminded in their pursuit of a genuine, authentic experience. Darlene and Skyler provide an environment that encourages and fosters this growth in our individual and collective paths.

I learned yoga history, the physical practice, meditation skills, and how yoga translates into our daily life. Most importantly, going deeper into yoga taught me more about my inner self-awareness, as well as the awareness of all my connections outwardly. I know that wherever I go from here and whatever I face, I now have the tools to face it. Over the weeks, Radiant became a home, training was my favorite part of the week, and one of the best parts is the bonds I formed with the other TTs. We all come from a range of backgrounds, but have a special common connection. Coming in, I was unsure whether my goal was to teach, but after going through this training I have realized the joy that teaching others brings me, and the ability we have to inspire others with our voices. I feel stronger physically and mentally, more grounded, and lighter on my feet than ever before and cannot encourage this training enough. If you feel that small inkling of interest, follow your instinct!

After serious prodding from several teachers who recognized my passion for yoga I took teacher training in the Fall of 2017 and it was truly one of the best 9 weeks of my life!

I got started in yoga about 15 years ago taking bikram yoga. After quitting my practice due to addiction issues I did not practice for many years. After being sober for several years I was looking for hobbies and activities to try and stay in shape and hopefully and mental balance and health as well. After trying many different studios and just not finding what I was looking for I found Radiant and really fell in love with practicing, however I never had any thoughts of becoming a teacher.

After serious prodding from several teachers who recognized my passion for yoga I took teacher training in the Fall of 2017 and it was truly one of the best 9 weeks of my life! From making new friends, discovering how incredibly rewarding it is to teach and see and feel that difference you are making in students lives and all the in-depth study of the postures, nutrition and meditation was so educational.

What really sets Radiant teacher training apart is how Darlene and her group of core teachers really share in their lives and get you to open up as well, I felt like I got rid of decades of resentments and fears that were holding me back in so many different areas of my life. I would so highly recommend taking teacher training to any aspiring yogi even if they are not interested in teaching, you will meet people that will make you light up and smile very time you see them as well as be challenged to step outside your comfort zone
physically and mentally.

I honestly started teacher training in hopes to expand my knowledge of yoga and get my first steps toward prenatal yoga underway.

I didn’t give much thought to the personal transformation I would get from the experience. My practice improved, my spirit improved, but overall my ability to self-love improved. I started to reevaluate my attitude towards not only my surroundings but myself. I was previously stuck in a negative place in life without truly realizing it prior. If it weren’t for this teacher training experience by Radiant, I don’t know if I would be as positive as I am right now. I feel energized and excited. I’m living in the moment and appreciating all of life’s experiences. Radiant brought out an amazing practice from of my body but an even better outlook on my life.
