About our 300-HR Program

Where a 200 hour yoga teaching programs lays an excellent foundation for the continuing practitioner and interested teacher, the Advanced Studies Program takes the student to a new level of understanding and provides the tools to share the practice skillfully with a wide population. Delving deeply  into the philosophical study and applications of yoga practice, an advanced teacher has the tools to share the teachings not only in traditional yoga settings, but to communities where the applied science may be an important tool.
The advanced course of study gives you the tools and understanding to become a master teacher who can think outside the box and adapt the science of yoga for each and every kind of student.
