Frequently Asked Questions
You will be supported on your journey by a team of experienced teachers across a wide array of disciplines.
Why is the training structured the way it is?
A 300HR training is different from a 200HR, in the way that the where the 200HR is about covering the bases and providing a platform from which new teachers can begin their teaching journey. The 300HR training is about deepening your own practice in areas that are of specific interest to you, so as your practice gets richer, it informs better, more powerful teaching.
So giving you the option to choose one or more areas of interest was definitely one reason for planning the training in the way that it is.
And the other reason…
“There has to be a better way.” Having been on month long intensives, I’ve always come away thinking that it just wasn’t the most effective way to learn. So keeping that in mind, making sure to build a training in a way that makes the learning process as joyful and productive as possible, I’ve built this training as a modular approach. So you have time to work with information as well as time to digest and learn and truly understand the material.
Is this program eligible for Yoga Alliance certification?
Students who complete a module will get certified for 100 hours per completed module as per YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education) hours. And those who do all three modules of the 300-hour program will receive a 300HR teacher training certificate as per Yoga Alliance standards.
If you completed a 200 hour training from another Yoga Alliance certified school, you will be able to submit both your 200 hour and your 300 hour certificate to Yoga Alliance, should you choose to, for a full 500 hour recognition from them.
What are the prerequisites?
Prerequisites for the 300 hour program include completion of a 200-hour Yoga Alliance registered program.
Alternatively, each of the three 100 hour modules acts as a stand alone opportunity for advanced students to deepen their knowledge or teachers to dive deeper into specific areas of interest. So registration for individual modules is open to advanced practitioners as well as teachers.
What are the requirements to complete the program?
To be able to get the certificate of completion of the 300HR training, all three modules have to be completed.
