Build up the teacher within. Where practical 🤝 inspirational.
Carve out time this Winter/Spring 2027 to upgrade your understanding of the vast scape that is yoga and our human stories. Yogamaya’s 300hr is a must for all teachers who have completed any 200hr YTT and want to take the next step.
Our time together is a deep investigation and workshopping of specific yoga poses, how to analyze them to make great sequencing choices, and how to understand classroom energetics to make great teaching choices.
4 Phases of Study
1. ASANA & PHILOSOPHY: Learn the content of what you teach.
In-depth exploration of specific Level 2 and Level 3 asanas including alignment, use of props, how to practice them, anatomy, energetics, and how to use the asana as a template for exploration (both physical and energetic)
2. SEQUENCING: Learn our class structure and how to construct classes that are creative, intentional, and progress towards your specific teaching goal. You will learn principals of sequencing (the whys) that also enable you can sequence and teach for a variety of contexts (privates, different types of group classes, hatha, etc.)
3. TEACHING SKILLS: Learn how to bring your sequence to life with important teaching skills. Learn to blend your sequencing and teaching skills to ‘tell a story’ and create an experience in your classes. This is also where you begin to develop your own teaching intuition and point of view: What do you want to bring to your students today? How do you want to communicate it, pace it – what energy do you want to layer into it? This section includes short practice teaching segments and feedback/guidance.
4. SMALL GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL MENTORING: This the culmination our of 300hr where you work with a mentor both individually and in your small group to build classes, teach them, and receive detailed feedback. You will teach two full one-hour classes at Yogamaya during this time.
**The mentoring phase of the training is scheduled directly with your mentor and small group between June – December 2027.
ADDITIONAL STUDY: You will be required to attend and reflect on 2 online (or in person) courses with Jules Mitchell, Breathing Mechanics and Somatic Principals. To round out your training you will need to attend at least 20 classes at Yogamaya (separate from Training Hours), complete your Mentorship, and assist 5 classes with your mentor.
Within the phases of our training, you will learn hands-on assisting, reading bodies, subtle body anatomy, relevant yoga philosophy teaching, how to teach privates and beginners, and ultimately, you will develop practical teaching skills, a map for an ongoing personal practice, and inspiration to bring to your students (and carry within yourself).
In essence, our 300hr Teacher Training is an experience of connecting the dots and starting to build your own narrative about yoga through what interests you and what you are learning, and then how to teach what you want to teach.
*There will be assigned group/individual work outside of scheduled session times.
