300 HOUR ONLINE 

TEACHER TRAINING MODULES

300 hour

ARE YOU READY FOR THE R.E.A.L THING? REFINE.EXPAND.ALIGN.LEAD  

The Goal of this training is to give you the skills to support the growth of your students, and help them go deeper in their yoga practice on and off the mat. The goal of the 200 hour training is to prepare you to share the yoga practice to the more beginner yogis. By beginner I mean those that are not yet ready to take the deep dive into cultivating awareness of the body and mind. The beginner yogi enjoys their weekly practice at the gym and feels better from it but doesn’t go beyond that but often craves something more. To them we need the skills to guide them along their path and share with them the real thing. That can be scary as a yoga teacher, and that is why I designed this 300 hour training, to help you develop the skills to become a masterful teacher, develop a dedicated student base, and support those students in tapping into their highest potential on and off the mat!

  • REFINE your practice and teaching skills
  • EXPAND your knowledge 
  • ALIGN your professional teaching path 
  • LEAD: Develop leadership skills to help students go deeper in their practice

REFINE

Given the skills you have learned in your 200 hour, now it is time to refine them and become more precise. These skills include your personal yoga practice, developing a deeper understanding of your physical body, you verbal delivery, sequencing, dharma talks, sequencing, guiding meditation and much more

EXPAND

Through the study of anatomy, yoga sutras, the Chakras, and Tantra philosophy and the Chromatic System of Yoga you will develop a deeper knowledge base that will help you embody the wisdom of the practices, in order to more authentically share the practice with your students. 

ALIGN

Discover what your core purpose is as a teacher, and learn how to align your teaching with it. Having a mission, purpose or intention behind WHY you are sharing the practice will help you to develop the WHAT you are offering and HOW to offer it. This will take your teaching from average to professional and powerful.

LEAD

Develop your leadership skills, and learn how to walk your students into the fire of transformation, and support them throughout the experience. This might be the most Challenging aspect of teaching, and this is why I want to support you so you feel prepared and confident in leading more profound experiences such as Workshops, Immersions, Retreats, and Trainings.

There are 4 Online Modules which you may sign up for individually or all together. Why separately? You may have done some modules already in person in which case you will want to complete the ones you have missed, or you may be looking to expand teaching but not interested in the full 300 hour training.

What is Yoga Alliance?

In my own words, not theirs, YA is an organization that works to keep quality control of yoga. Mostly they make sure yoga schools like mine have a curriculum that adheres to what they consider to be important. 

Do I need yoga alliance?

This really depends. If you dont know what it is than you likely don’t need to be a part of it. In the U.S. you may be required by Gyms and Yoga Studios to be with YA. If you plan to purchase liability insurance, you may want to check with insurance companies in your country to see what their requirements are. 

Is there licencing for yoga?

No, Yoga is recognized as group fitness around most of the world so there is no official licencing as there is with massage. Each country differs so it would be good to check if our country has any licencing.
