The AlignedLife 300hr Yoga Teacher Training
Course Summary
This 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) is designed for graduates of 200-hour YTT programs who wish to deepen their practice, refine their teaching skills, and explore advanced aspects of yoga philosophy and methodology. Certified by Yoga Alliance, this hybrid program (combining in-person immersions and online learning) typically spans several months, allowing for comprehensive study and integration.
Core Curriculum & Focus Areas:
The training builds upon foundational knowledge and delves into more nuanced and specialized areas, often including:
- Advanced Asana & Sequencing: Exploration of complex postures, intelligent sequencing principles, prop usage, and modifications for diverse bodies and needs.
- Nervous System Wisdom & Embodied Anatomy: A deeper dive into functional anatomy, biomechanics, and the profound connection between movement, the nervous system, and emotional well-being. This often includes trauma-informed approaches and techniques for regulating the nervous system.
- Yoga Philosophy & History: In-depth study of ancient yogic texts (e.g., Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita), ethical guidelines (Yamas & Niyamas), and the historical and cultural context of yoga.
- Pranayama & Meditation: Advanced breathing techniques, various meditation styles, and methods for integrating these practices into classes and personal life.
- Subtle Body Energetics: Exploration of concepts like chakras, nadis, koshas, and prana vayus, and how to work with these energetic systems in practice and teaching.
- Teaching Methodology & Leadership: Refinement of teaching skills, including advanced cueing, observation, hands-on adjustments, and developing an authentic teaching voice. Emphasis is often placed on cultivating leadership qualities and creating transformative class experiences.
- Seasonal & Elemental Awareness: Understanding how to align practice and teaching with natural rhythms, such as lunar cycles and the changing seasons.
- Specialized Applications: Introduction to or deeper study of specific yoga styles or therapeutic approaches (e.g., Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, therapeutic applications for common conditions).
- Professional Essentials: Guidance on the business of yoga, ethical considerations, marketing, and building a sustainable teaching career.
Program Structure (Typical Components):
- In-Person Retreats/Immersions: Dedicated time for intensive practice, workshops, and direct mentorship.
- Online Modules & Classes: Flexible learning through pre-recorded lectures, live virtual sessions, and self-paced study.
- Monthly Circles/Meetings: Opportunities for community building, discussion, and peer support.
- Practice Teaching & Feedback: Extensive opportunities to lead classes and receive constructive feedback.
- Self-Study & Integration: Assigned readings, journaling, and personal reflection to assimilate the material.
- Capstone Project: A culminating project allowing trainees to synthesize their learning and create a unique offering.
This program is designed for dedicated yoga practitioners and teachers ready to elevate their understanding, presence, and impact, fostering a deeper connection to their innate wisdom and empowering them to lead with authenticity and skill. Upon successful completion, graduates are typically eligible to register as a RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance (combining their 200-hour and 300-hour certifications).
