300 Hour YOGA Teacher Training
Begins March 2025! Registration is Open!
A 300-hour advanced training is designed to build upon and deepen a trainee’s understanding of the fundamental concepts of yoga. A 300-hour advanced training prepares its trainees to teach principles and techniques of yoga that are more advanced, more detailed, and subtler. This training enables you to teach with greater skill than could reasonably be expected of a 200-hour yoga teacher.

300 HOUR CAPE COD RETREAT
The 300-Hour Teacher Training includes a one-day retreat to Cape Cod. You will dive deep into all aspects of yoga in this training and learn more about yourself and your own path as a yoga teacher. It's a journey of reflection and connection. We teach by the way we live. The Cape Cod Retreat is included in the pricing of the 300-hour program.
"My experience in the 300 hour has been incredible. It has helped me better understand myself as a yoga teacher and a person! This training provided exposure to a wide variety of styles of yoga while at the same time allowing us to explore our areas of interest. I really feel that I've gained the confidence I needed to be more creative with my sequencing and theming. I never expected that I would do a 300-hour training... now looking back, I'm so glad that I did it!"
-Grace S., 300-Hour Teacher Training Graduate
