Advanced Yoga Teacher Training: 300 hour

Blossom Yoga School’s advanced teacher training is

comprehensive covering Hatha yoga and its subdisciplines in depth.

 

Overview

Our advanced teacher training is for teachers who have completed a 200-hr Yoga Alliance accredited program. It consists of over 270 contact hours with our full teaching faculty. This program is comprehensive and covers Hatha yoga and its subdisciplines in-depth, including philosophy, energy, asana, functional anatomy, and lifestyle.

Content is delivered in tandem with our 200-hr training weekends with additional subject-specific weekend modules and virtual lectures. All subject-specific weekend modules also fulfill continuing education requirements per Yoga Alliance (YACEP continuing education).

Register for the 300-hr Fast Track. You can begin taking the subject-specific weekend modules whenever you like. Fast Track and additional weekend modules do not need to be completed in the same 12-month period, but students should complete both the Fast Track and all modules within 36 months. Modules are priced separately, and we will track what students have completed.

Testimonials

  • “YTT had been something I wanted to accomplish for 15 years but with a family, going away was not an option. Blossom Yoga’s once a month schedule, although rigorous, was perfect for me. More importantly, I didn’t sacrifice any knowledge or content by staying local. Jill, Miguel and Lily are exceptional instructors and enhanced the class with other outstanding yoga practitioners. The classes deepened my practice and provided a spiritual introspection that I treasure. I'd recommend Blossom's YTT to anyone interested in a 200 hour certification or just wanting to expand their yoga practice.” -Annemarie

  • “YTT at Blossom Yoga has been a really neat unique journey. If I need guidance in any way, they are there to support you. I would strongly recommend this for anyone who is interested in teaching or simply to deepen your own practice. I promise (with my whole heart) you will not regret it!! “ -Kerrie

  • “I am so very glad that I took this particular yoga teacher training. There is so much value in studying traditional yoga (as opposed to westernized fitness yoga). I wanted to take YTT to enrich my asana (physical) yoga practice. We did study how to practice and teach asana correctly and safely. But we also studied pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy & ethics, which enriched my entire life. Just as important, I made friends with some wonderful people.” - Sarah

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No! Many yogis embark on a yoga teacher training to deepen personal practice, expand knowledge, and/or advance personal growth.

  • Not at all. The only requirements are a keen interest in aligning the body, mind, and spirit; a willingness to let go of ego; and an open heart and mind.

  • Only students who successfully complete the training as determined by the trainers will be eligible for registration with the Yoga Alliance. Being present at training sessions, completing all homework assignments on time, and demonstrating competencies as determined by the trainers are definitely a part of successful completion. If a student foresees being absent or unable to complete an assignment on time, he or she should contact a trainer as soon as possible to make alternative arrangements. And certainly, a student gets out of the training what he or she puts into it. Active engagement during training weekends, participation in modules, and completion of assignments will enrich the experience!

  • Yes! We want to make the training accessible to a variety of budgets and financial situations. A payment plan of eleven (11) equal payments automatically deducted from your account can be arranged.

  • Most yogis prefer to provide their own mats when practicing frequently. The mat can become sacred space, an environment in which the yogi can fully explore and enjoy the practice. That said, we do have a small number of mats available to borrow. Blossom will also provide yoga props, such as blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps. Of course, yogis are welcome to bring their own props, if they wish. It’s wise to dress in comfortable layers during training weekends. A water bottle, a pen or pencil, and a notebook are handy. Additionally, anything else you need to be comfortable is welcome: simple snacks, a low-to-the-ground camping-style chair to sit in during lectures.

  • A non-refundable deposit of $300 is required at the time of acceptance into the program and registration. The deposit will be applied to tuition. It will not be refunded. Should you choose to terminate your participation in the program, you can receive a full refund (minus the $300 deposit) until 5:00 pm MTN on Monday, October 12, 2020. After that time no refunds will be given.
