What is a 300-hour yoga teacher training?
The 300-hour yoga teacher training offers an advanced yoga training curriculum designed for experienced yoga instructors who are intentional about developing their yogic skills to the next level. This residential intensive course provides specialized tools for personal transformation and professional growth.
A 300-hour advanced training is designed to build upon and deepen the trainee’s understanding of the fundamental concepts of the practice and teaching of yoga that are taught during the 200-hour course. This prepares trainees to teach advanced principles and techniques of yoga in more (and subtler) detail. Which enables you to teach with greater skill and precision than could reasonably be expected of a 200-hour trained teacher.
The curriculum is designed to deliver this training during 300 hours of experiential practice, written assignments, presentations, excursions, and discourse.
You also cultivate enhanced business essentials for developing your brand, messaging and marketing your offerings.
What style of yoga will you be learning?
Swadhyaya Yoga School advances expression, education, and awareness of Hatha, Ashtanga, and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. While the focus will be on these practices, we will also introduce you to Restorative, Yin, and Iyengar yoga, with additional learning about modifications for children and elderly populations.
Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga derived from one of the six schools of Hinduism. It is the science of yoga which purifies the whole physical body using shatkarma (six cleansing practices), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices), mudra (seals), bandha (locks), and concentration, as a prelude to raja (Kingly) yoga and samadhi (higher state of awareness commonly referred to as “bliss”). All of these are explored during your yoga teacher training.
