300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
The advanced training, for teachers who have completed a 200-hour and want to go further into philosophy, subtler breath practice and refined methodology.
This builds on a completed 200-hour rather than repeating it. The philosophy goes further, into the Yoga Sutras leading towards non-dual meditation, and the anatomy and methodology both deepen.
It suits intermediate and advanced practitioners of any age who want to teach with more precision and more understanding of why a practice is sequenced the way it is.
The curriculum
- Teaching methodology
- Hatha and vinyasa styles, creative sequencing, asana modification, and reading the mechanics of a body in front of you.
- Adjustment and ethics
- Hands-on and hands-off adjustment, and the ethical questions that come with touching a student at all.
- Functional anatomy and kinesiology
- The myofascial sling method, and around fifty asana studied by category.
- The Embodied Yoga method
- The method itself, studied as a system rather than a set of shapes.
- Pranayama and subtle practice
- Brahmari, ujjayi, viloma, nadi shodhana, kapalabhati and bhastrika, with the bandhas, mudras and yoga nidra.
- Philosophy and non-duality
- The Yoga Sutras leading towards non-dual meditation, applied philosophy, Vedic philosophy and devotional hymns.
