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
