For those who have already completed a 200 hour training, and who wish to expand their knowledge base and teaching skills, become expert yoga teachers and educators, or to deepen and enrich their personal practice, this program exceeds the content and contact hour standards for the Yoga Alliance RYT 300, with a low faculty-student ratio. Participants who complete this program with the aim of teaching will meet the requirements for the Yoga Alliance RYT 500 when combined with their previously completed 200 hour certification. For those who wish to teach, this program continues to connect us with our inner teacher, making intuitive knowledge explicit, through reflective practices and self-inquiry. For those who are their own truest teachers, and wish to deepen their personal practice and skills, this program provides a deep well of experiential knowledge to help us uncover the intuitive wisdom of the body-mind.
Advanced student-teachers will not only reflect on their own personal and teaching practices, but also survey new developments in the fields of kinesiology, pedagogy, neuroscience, health and lifestyle, evidence-based research, and state-of-the-art therapeutic applications of asana, pranayama, and meditation. They will explore innovative yoga practices, from ancient to modern, and study indications and contraindications for common health challenges and special student populations. Finally, advanced trainees will examine the issues relevant to yoga teachers today such as building communities of practice, ‘soulful’ branding and abundance-oriented, sustainable business practices, and raising the level of consciousness and professionalism in the field.
Our 300 hour program takes place one weekend a month for 18 months.
