About The Training
This course will consist of two parts to make up an additional 300 Hours of Yoga Teacher Training to enable a teacher with an existing 200 Hour Training to be recognized at the 500 Hour level. We will be offering parts 1 and 2 alternating years, and you may take them in any order. Between the two parts we offer mentorship and help you to set and fulfill goals for further study and yoga related work.
This is a comprehensive Advanced Yoga Instructor training, designed in accordance with the 300 hour requirements for registration with Yoga Alliance. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate which will enable you to register with Yoga Alliance, at the Advanced 500 Hour level simply by sending in a copy of your certificate.
