why this 300-hour yoga teacher training
many teachers complete a 200-hour program and then feel unsure how to:
support students dealing with stress, pain, or imbalance
explain the purpose behind postures, breathwork, and relaxation
teach beyond choreography without becoming overly complex
this 300-hour yoga teacher training helps bridge that gap.
you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how yoga works on the physical, nervous system, and psychological levels—while learning how to communicate those concepts clearly and confidently to the students you serve.
this training emphasizes practical application, not abstract theory.
