Advanced Yoga Teacher Trainings

300-hour · Yoga Alliance approved
Leads to 500-hour certification

You did the 200-hour. You've been teaching. And somewhere along the way, you started asking bigger questions.
Not about which pose to cue next. About why you're cueing it at all.

This training is personal. The cohort is small on purpose. You'll know your fellow trainees. They'll know you. The mentorship is real, the community sticks, and the growth goes places a crowded training room can't take you.

We meet one weekend a month over 18 months and the program icludes a retreat in October 2027

 

What you will learn

Modern, evidence-informed, and built for the way people actually practice and teach today.

Yoga Philosophy

  • A deep dive into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali — what they actually say and how they apply to modern teaching

  • Understanding the Kleshas — the five root causes of suffering and how they show up in your students (and you)

  • The Antarayas — the nine obstacles on the path and how to recognize and move through them

  • How to bring philosophy into your classes without losing people

Teaching Methodology and Business

  • How to teach privates vs. group classes vs. online — and the skills each format requires

  • The business of teaching yoga: pricing, packaging, building a sustainable income

  • Working with special populations — prenatal, seniors, athletes, beginners

  • Modifying for injuries and how to prevent injuries in a group class setting

  • Teaching meditation and pranayama — techniques, sequencing, and how to hold space

Anatomy and Physiology

  • Understanding the systems of the body and how yoga affects them — muscular, skeletal, nervous, respiratory, and more

  • A deep dive into the hip and shoulder — the joints most impacted by yoga practice

  • Understanding the core, pelvic floor, and spine and how yoga supports or stresses them

  • Functional anatomy in action — how to use this knowledge to cue more effectively and safely

Also included with your enrollment

  • 40 yoga classes at Hippie Yoga — drop in anytime throughout the program to keep your personal practice alive

  • 10 hours of one-on-one mentorship — dedicated time with your lead trainer to support your growth, your questions, and your teaching
