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.

segment i: advanced teaching methods

exploring the heart of yoga technique and philosophy

as we advance in our teaching and personal practice, it is common to find ourselves becoming stagnant in our teaching, or feel a strong desire to explore more than what we've become accustomed to. segment i is a chance for you to deeply examine your own personal practice and teaching style, and then refine and develop this further. you will begin to cultivate a relationship with the more subtle practices of yoga, using the yoga sutra as a foundation, and learn more about breathing, sense withdrawal, and meditation from both a personal and professional standpoint.

this segment of our teacher training course will focus on:

• refining your ability to deliver effective, efficient, and elegant verbal instruction

• developing your skills of observation and intuitive sensitivity to students' needs

• understanding the deeper dimensions of yogic breathing for nervous system balance and as a support for deeper spiritual practices

• learning to offer students guided, systematic relaxations that increase prana and prepare students for meditation

• practicing traditional yogic meditation techniques

• participating in an in-depth study of patanjali's yoga sutra that will make this ancient text come alive as a support for your practice and teaching

• developing the subtle aspects of yoga, including breathing, sense withdrawal, and meditation

• enhancing your credibility as a yoga teacher by skillfully incorporating sanskrit into your teaching, and learn a set of traditional sanskrit prayers and chants
