300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training practice

Not more of the same.
Substantially deeper.

Our Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is not an extension of the 200-hour. It is a fundamentally different level of engagement — one that moves from learning the tools to understanding the principles that underlie them, and from competent teaching to genuine transmission.

Where the 200-hour builds your foundation — your vocabulary, your sequencing intelligence, your ability to teach any style — the Advanced YTT  asks the deeper questions: Why does this practice work? How does it change people? What does a teacher carry that makes their presence itself an offering?

This training moves into the therapeutic dimensions of yoga, the philosophical traditions that gave rise to the practice, and the personal development that separates a competent teacher from an unforgettable one.

The Advanced 300-hour YTT is where you stop learning about yoga — and begin to embody it as a way of seeing the world and serving those in your care.

Our method.
Tradition meets innovation.

Our Advanced 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training is built on the Circle Yoga Method — a living practice that honors both tradition and innovation.

We believe yoga should meet you where you are, and our approach reflects that.

This training has empowered professionals from diverse fields to elevate their careers and expand their effectiveness in teaching movement, embodiment, breath, and attention. However you choose to apply it — in the studio, therapeutic settings, or within your own professional practice — you'll gain a lasting framework for transformation that continues to grow with you.

A vision of the human as anti-fragile. Learn to cultivate resilience, adaptability, and strength both on the mat and in life.
An East–West integration. We weave together the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and Western science, highlighting the merits of both without dismissing either.
Therapeutic techniques rooted in human development. Our movement system is based on the natural locomotion milestones of infancy, restoring mobility and stability at every level.
A sophisticated understanding of yoga. We ground movement, breath, and meditation practices in the philosophy of the ancient world, offering practical tools for transformation.
Functional movement and postures. A unique repertoire of sequences and shapes that are safe, progressive, and challenging for today's practitioners.
Yoga adapts to the individual. This method teaches you how to adapt to your students, regardless of age, injury, or experience, in real time.

It's for you
if...

The Advanced 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed for 200hr yoga teachers who are ready to expand their knowledge, skills, and impact.

You're tired of the same old sun salutations and feel like your classes have become predictable and repetitive.

Your students keep showing up, but aren't progressing, and you want the skills to guide them more effectively.

You want to move beyond memorized sequences and learn how to create classes that flow naturally from human development, functional movement patterns, and embodied principles.

You feel torn between a purely mechanical focus and an energetic focus — and you want to learn how to integrate both with confidence.

You see a wide variety of needs in your classes and want to know how to address them all without leaving any students behind.

You're giving the right cues, but your students aren't following along, and you want to learn how to be more precise with your teaching.

If any of this resonates, the Advanced 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed to fill those gaps and help you become the teacher and practitioner you've been waiting to be.

curriculum

The areas of
advanced study.

The training unfolds gradually, each session building on the last. Each new lesson reinforces what has come before, while adding a new dimension of depth, nuance, and application. The curriculum includes Yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, asana and biomechanics, meditation, pranayama, practice teaching, and sequencing.

01
Intensive One
Lays the foundation for the entire program with chikitsa (therapeutic) practices designed to restore harmony and adaptability in the human system. Drawing from natural developmental movement patterns, we explore the Evolutionary Namaskar and integrate soft tissue mobilization techniques to address mobility limitations and movement compensations.
02
Intensive Two
Introduces Ayurveda and the three doshas as a framework for personalizing practice and harmonizing the system. Biomechanically, we explore how and when to stabilize the spine and awaken the core. The intensive also dives deeper into the principles of Pranayama and adjustments to support both practice and teaching.
03
Intensive Three
Explores Prana and the five Vayus as subtle forces that shape movement, breath, and meditation. You’ll learn to infuse asana, pranayama, and meditation with the qualities of each Vayu, adding depth and nuance to practice. Biomechanically, we focus on squat and posterior chain activations to expand your functional movement repertoire. The intensive also includes a deep dive into the principles of meditation.
04
Intensive Four
Focuses on tailoring practice to students’ capacities, from therapeutic support to functional movement and advanced performance. Biomechanically, we progress to complex multiplane and locomotion-based flows, integrating all previous mobility and stability lessons. The intensive also explores the relationship between Samadhi and the Flow state, offering insight into higher cognitive awareness.

The same lineage.
A greater depth.
