300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training

“Go as far as you can! Go further than you can!”
- Nikos Kazantzakis

The 300-Hour Teacher Training is for yoga teachers who have already completed a 200-hour basic certification course. The 300-hour training is an advanced-level teacher training certified by Yoga Alliance.

“It is a very American thing to say, ‘I can do it all by myself,’ ‘I do not need help or improvement.’”
- Rev Jaganath Carrera

In the history of yoga, the student-teacher relationship is a sacred and necessary bind. It is through this tradition of passing down and guidance that we learn best.

A Sangha is a group of likeminded spiritual seekers: those seeking a greater understanding of depth, peace, and wellbeing. Through our Sangha, we reciprocate and accelerate each other's growth.

In this 300-hour training, we will stitch together and expand upon the many various threads of yoga philosophy, human anatomy, and functional and sustainable movement — bringing your yoga into balance.

Our Expectations of You

The expectations are higher, the workload is larger, and the individual responsibility will increase from your 200 hours. This is your time to discover what YOU uniquely bring, both on and off your mat. This is your time to trust, embrace, and concentrate on your skills to grow and flourish. We are here to support and guide you.

Time Commitment

This training will be broken down into three 100-hour segments, giving you time to digest and apply what you have learned. Five weekends for each module on Zoom and in person with some pre-recorded material. There is no written exam; your practicum is a 2-hour workshop.
