Bryn Chrisman
After over two decades of teaching, and still loving it, my goal is to support teachers in their development from new teachers into excellent teachers. I will give you something concrete to lean into, and help you develop your muscle for "nuance" and texture in your teaching.
Amanda McDonald
I love to teach teachers to empower their students. My focus is on helping you enhance your teachings into something your students can take with them into life.
Lindsey Rozmes
I’m Lindsey — truth seeker, balance tipper, believer in the dig for the authentic self. I delight in the practices of wellness.
My goal is to give teachers a variety of practical techniques they can use to teach yoga, understand the lens of Ayurveda, and up-level their participation in their own overall well being.
Ultimately, my role as your teacher is to create a loving, safe container for you to heal, to learn, to evolve.
Gina Benson
It was not until I discovered the ancient Vedic practices of Yoga and Ayurveda that I felt a profound illumination of my inner being.
These timeless sciences transformed my life, so I made it my mission to share this wealth of knowledge with anyone open to listening in hope of offering the same healing.
I aim to educate on these ancient sciences and sharpen your teaching techniques to better serve the yoga community.

In Person in Chelsea, NYC
This is an in-person 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in New York City, taught in studio at Yogamaya in Chelsea — 151 West 19th Street. It is built for people who have already completed a 200-hour teacher training and want the next level of teaching skill, sequencing, and mentorship.
If you are searching for 300HR Teacher Training NYC or an in studio 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, this is the program page. Dates, tuition, and application for the current 2027 training live on the upcoming session below — or see Our Complete 300hr.
Curriculum & Mentorship
Thirteen in-person weekends, plus mentorship after the weekend sessions. The work is asana, philosophy, sequencing, teaching skills, and then real mentorship — not a self-paced online course.
1. Asana & Philosophy
Learn the content of what you teach. In-depth exploration of specific Level 2 and Level 3 asanas, including alignment, props, anatomy, energetics, and how asana becomes a template for both physical and energetic exploration.
2. Sequencing
Learn Yogamaya’s class structure and how to construct classes that are creative, intentional, and progress toward a clear teaching goal. These sequencing principals apply to group classes, privates, beginners, and different styles.
3. Teaching Skills
Bring your sequence to life. Blend sequencing and teaching skills to tell a story and create an experience, including practice teaching with feedback as you develop your own point of view, pacing, and classroom energy.
4. Mentorship
The culmination of the 300HR: individual and small-group mentoring to build classes, teach them, and receive detailed feedback. You will teach two full one-hour classes at Yogamaya. Mentorship is scheduled with your mentor after the weekend sessions.
Additional study includes assigned outside work, required Yogamaya classes, assisting, and designated continuing-education coursework. Full inclusions are listed on the current training page.
Why In-Person Training
Online and hybrid 300-hour programs can cover information. An in-studio 300HR Teacher Training in New York City is different because the work happens in the room: reading bodies, hands-on assisting, classroom energetics, and live feedback while you teach.
In studio, not on Zoom. Practice teaching, assisting, and sequencing are coached in Chelsea, in real time.
A New York City classroom. You learn to teach in the same environment your students will actually practice in.
Mentorship after the weekends. Small-group and individual mentoring continues after the in-person modules, including teaching full classes at Yogamaya.
A community you can return to. Training is relationship-based. Graduates stay connected to the studio, faculty, and one another.
Yoga Alliance
Yogamaya’s 300 Hour Teacher Training New York City program is designed so that, upon full completion, you can register with Yoga Alliance as a 500-hour RYT through Yogamaya. That requires completing the in-person sessions, homework, mentorship, and the additional study requirements — and you must already hold a 200-hour training.
Where Our Grads Are Now
Yogamaya is magic. Being there helped me tap into my own magic & thread it through my teaching to 1000's of Yogis around the world.
Yogamaya's training, teachers, & community are the foundation for everything that's come since.”

Everything I've done in yoga, personally and professionally, was a seed that started at Yogamaya.

Yogamaya is a special place. It feels like a place of offering, an open palm.
It is a sacred place of learning that continues to expand and nurture my life and provided me with a space to grow and develop as the teacher I am today.”

My training at Yogamaya gave me skills I use every day in my teaching: the ability to confidently speak about the body and at the same time, approach it with utmost curiosity.”
