The last time the Knoxville studio hosted a 200-hour yoga teacher training was in 2015. The training we chose was new to Knoxville and therefore, in demand, and “cutting-edge” and real hot yoga was at the forefront. It’s since become the most common training across Knoxville. We’ve waited 11 years to have our next training because again, we wanted to bring something new, more dynamic, and cutting edge to Knoxville and we’ve found it. We could not be more excited for Peyton to host Jonah Kest’s 7-Doorways training.
This training begins with an understanding of Ashtanga yoga, which is the basis for ALL power yoga. Then it moves into the “7 Doorways Method” to help you become a master at creating sequences. Most trainings teach you one sequence, and what poses to do; this program teaches you why they work together. You will master a 7-step “energetic blueprint” that allows you to build your own unique power yoga classes with a clear, logical progression—from building intense internal heat to achieving deep, meditative surrender. While we will focus on power yoga, this energetic blue print can be used to build other types of yoga classes.

YTT FACULTY:
Lead Teacher: Peyton Brooks
Peyton began her yoga journey nine years ago, initially stepping into a class in search of physical fitness. What she discovered was far more expansive. Over time, her consistent practice revealed the mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of yoga, inspiring a deep commitment to make the practice accessible and meaningful for others.
In 2019, Peyton earned her 200‑hour Yoga Teacher Certification at Shakti Power Yoga in Nashville, TN and soon after began teaching at Real Hot Yoga in Knoxville. She approaches teaching as a sacred responsibility, creating classes that invite students to meet their edge, turn inward, and cultivate the tools that support life beyond the mat.
Dedicated to remaining a student first, Peyton completed her 300‑hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2025 with Jonah Kest, specializing in the 7 Doorways System. She is honored and excited to lead this 200‑hour Yoga Teacher Training, weaving together the 7 Doorways System, her personal practice, and her passion for empowering students to grow both on and off the mat.
