300 hour Yoga Teacher Training

This is an advanced teacher training program for dedicated trainees who wish to refine and deepen their studentship and teaching practice. The program intensifies and enriches participants’ current understanding of Yoga, Ayurveda, Yoga philosophy, anatomy and teaching skills.

The training also includes several specialized modules which elevate our graduates above other programs, such as Chair Yoga, the Art of Assisting, Biotensegrity, Yin Yoga, Trauma-informed Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Pranayama.
