300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
A modular programme for yoga teachers ready to deepen their knowledge, refine their teaching, and build a sustainable, authentic career.
Yoga Alliance Registered · 300-Hour CPD
March 2027 – November 2027
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
This 300-hour advanced training is designed for qualified yoga teachers who are ready to go deeper. Across five specialist modules, you will develop mastery in breathwork facilitation, yoga philosophy, sequencing, hands-on teaching, and the professional skills needed to build a long, sustainable career.
Each module stands alone and can be booked independently. Together, they form a complete advanced training that moves you from knowledgeable teacher to confident, skilled practitioner and professional.
YOUR PATH THROUGH THE PROGRAMME
Rather than existing as its own module, teaching methodology is woven throughout the entire programme. You will develop continuously through teaching practice, observation, peer and mentor feedback, practical assessments, reflective journalling, class planning, and personal teaching assignments.
Module 1 | Foundations of Breath Teacher Training (80 hours)
Format: 3-Day Intensive · 4-Week Online “Anatomy of the Breath” (4 × 2hr live sessions) · 3-Day Deep Dive · 2-Day Facilitator Certification
Dates: 5–7 March 2027 (In person) | 10, 17, 24, 31 March 2027 — 4 × 2.5h Live Online | 9–11 April 2027 (In person) | 30 April – 2 May 2027 (In person)
Focus: Most yoga teachers know pranayama. Far fewer understand the respiratory system well enough to assess a client’s breathing, adapt their approach for different nervous system states, or facilitate a modern breathwork experience safely and confidently. This module changes that.
Over 80 hours of intensive in-person and online training, you will build a thorough, evidence-informed foundation — from the mechanics of how we breathe to the neuroscience of why it matters. You will study the classical pranayama tradition alongside contemporary breathwork approaches, and develop the practical skills to work with clients one-to-one or in groups. The 2-Day Facilitator Certification at the close of the module prepares you to hold breathwork sessions professionally, with clear ethical boundaries and scope of practice.
By the end of this module you will:
Understand the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system and how breathing affects the nervous system
Assess a client’s breathing patterns and design appropriate interventions
Teach classical pranayama and facilitate modern breathwork experiences safely
Work within clear ethical guidelines and scope of practice as a breathwork facilitator
Topics: Respiratory anatomy & physiology · Functional breathing · Pranayama · Modern breathwork · Nervous system regulation · Breath assessment · Teaching & facilitating breathwork · Ethics & scope of practice
Module 2 | Yoga Philosophy & Living Yoga (40 hours)
Format: 2 Weekends (Fri evening – Sun) · 4 Live Online Discussion Sessions plus 10 hrs homework (reading & reflection, additional to contact hours)
Dates: 21–23 May 2027 (In person) | 24 May – 21 June 2027 — 4 × 2.5h Live Online
Weekend mornings include asana practice.
Focus: The Yoga Sutras run through this module as the guiding map of yogic practice, with the yamas and niyamas as the ethical thread we tie every discussion back to. We work with selected passages of the Bhagavad Gita rather than the full text, and explore the Shiva-Shakti mythology as the philosophical backbone of Tantra Yoga — the root of the Hatha Yoga traditions.
A few non-yogic texts are brought in too, so you can see how universal these ideas really are — especially how yogic wisdom developed into Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. Meditation practices embody the teachings directly, and group self-study builds real insight into how your own mind works and how you relate to others and the world. Self-enquiry threads through every session — because the best philosophy teaching comes from teachers who have genuinely wrestled with these ideas themselves.
By the end of this module you will:
Use the Yoga Sutras as an overall guide to yogic practice, with the yamas and niyamas as a living ethical framework
Work with selected passages of the Bhagavad Gita and understand the Shiva-Shakti mythology as the philosophical backbone of Tantra and the Hatha Yoga traditions
Recognise the universality of yogic ideas through non-yogic texts, including how yogic wisdom developed into the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path of Buddhism
Develop a personal meditation practice, and use group self-study to understand the workings of your own mind and your modes of relating to others and the world
Topics: Yoga Sutras · Yamas & niyamas · Bhagavad Gita (selected passages) · Tantra Yoga & Shiva-Shakti mythology · Cross-tradition texts & Buddhism (Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path) · Meditation · Self-study & modes of relating · Applying philosophy to modern teaching
Module 3 | Intelligent Sequencing & Class Design (40 hours)
Format: 3 Weekends · + homework hours (energetics study & practice log, additional to contact hours)
Dates: 12–13 July 2027 (In person) | 31 July – 1 August 2027 (In person) | 3–4 August 2027 (In person)
Focus: Asana is an energetic practice, not just a physical one — it works on the body, the nervous system, and the mind. Depending on which asanas are taught and how they’re sequenced, students can feel very different immediately after class — and different again over months and years of practice. There is a difference between a class that flows and a class that has been genuinely thought through. This module teaches the second kind.
Over three weekends, you will build a foundation in the five Vayus — Prana, Apana, Udana, Vyana, Samana — and the energetic qualities of core posture categories: forward folds, backbends, twists, and more. You will study Vinyasa Krama, the principle of intelligent progression, and learn to design sequences for a student’s level of experience as well as for specific purposes.
From there, you will study the principles that give a sequence coherence — how to build toward a peak, how to develop a theme that runs through every moment of a class, and how to design progressive programming across multiple sessions so students genuinely develop over time. A significant portion of the module is dedicated to workshop and retreat design: the architecture of a multi-hour or multi-day experience, how to pace it, how to build content that serves the container. You will also explore how sequencing needs to adapt for different populations and contexts — beginners, mixed levels, and specific groups.
By the end of this module you will:
Understand the five Vayus and the energetic qualities of core posture categories, and use this to inform sequencing decisions - Apply Vinyasa Krama (intelligent progression) to design sequences for different levels of experience and specific purposes - Build classes with clear purpose, progression, and arc using established sequencing principles
Develop themes that run coherently through an entire class or series
Design multi-session programmes that create measurable development for students - Plan the structure and content of workshops and retreat schedules with confidence
Topics: Asana as energetic practice · The 5 Vayus (Prana, Apana, Udana, Vyana, Samana) · Posture categories & energetic qualities · Vinyasa Krama (intelligent progression) · Sequencing for level & purpose · Theme development · Peak pose sequencing · Progressive multi-session programming · Workshop & retreat design
Module 4 | The Asana Lab: Adaptation, Assisting & Intelligent Practice (60 hours)
Format: 3 Weekends · Final Practical Assessment
Dates: 20–22 August 2027 (In person) | 17–19 September 2027 (In person) | 9–10 October 2027 (In person)
Focus: This is the most practical module in the programme. Over four intensive weekends, you will develop the observation skills that separate good teachers from exceptional ones — the ability to read a body quickly and accurately, identify limitations and strengths, and make smart decisions in real time.
Modifications, props, and accessibility are treated as core skills, not afterthoughts. Progressions and regressions are taught systematically so you always know where to take a student next. Hands-on assisting is covered in depth — technique, timing, consent, and the ethical responsibilities that come with touch. Common injuries and physical limitations are studied so you can teach with both creativity and appropriate caution. The module closes with a final practical assessment, and most students describe it as one of the most confidence-building experiences of their teaching career.
By the end of this module you will:
Observe and assess students quickly and accurately during a live class
Select and apply intelligent modifications, props, progressions, and regressions for any individual
Offer hands-on assists safely, skillfully, and within clear ethical guidelines
Teach confidently across a wide range of bodies, abilities, and physical limitations
Topics: Observation skills · Intelligent modifications · Props & accessibility · Progressions & regressions · Hands-on assists · Ethical touch · Common injuries & limitations · Teaching different bodies
Module 5 | Professional Practice & Mentorship (40 hours)
Format: 2 Weekends · 4 Online Mentoring Sessions · Final Teaching Portfolio
Dates: 6–7 November 2027 (In person) | 20–21 November 2027 (In person) | 4x Online sessions till end of November 2026
Focus: Most yoga teacher trainings end before the hard questions begin. This one is built around them. Module 5 is structured in three parts:
Professional Teaching — Finding and deepening your authentic voice, sharpening your cueing and communication, learning to hold space with real confidence, and navigating the challenging situations every working teacher eventually faces. You will gain practical experience teaching private clients, and bring to life the workshops and retreats designed in Module 3 — this time in front of real groups, with mentor feedback.
Professional Development — The less-visible skills that sustain a long career: professional ethics and boundaries, reflective practice, giving and receiving feedback well, and the particular rewards and responsibilities of mentoring newer teachers.
Building a Sustainable Career — The practical realities of working as a yoga teacher — branding, marketing, pricing, studio relationships, contracts, insurance, financial management, and the habits that protect you from burnout over the long term. This section is direct, practical, and covers what most trainings leave out entirely.
The module closes with a final teaching portfolio and individual assessment that draws together everything developed across the full programme.
By the end of this module you will:
Teach with a clear, confident, and authentic voice across different formats and contexts
Build and sustain a professional teaching practice with sound business foundations
Navigate professional ethics, boundaries, and challenging teaching situations with clarity
Complete a final teaching portfolio that demonstrates your full development as a teacher
Topics: Authentic teaching voice · Cueing & communication · Private clients · Workshop facilitation · Retreat facilitation · Professional ethics · Reflective practice · Mentoring · Branding & marketing · Pricing · Contracts & insurance · Managing finances · Preventing burnout
