300-hour Course

Upcoming Modules

Opportunities for ongoing studies, learning and mentoring

Being an inspirational teacher of yoga also entails being a devoted student, so BodyMindLifeÕs Advanced Teacher Training provides opportunities for ongoing studies, learning and mentoring.

During our 300-hour module-based offerings, students are exposed to a broad range of subjects covering many aspects of yoga, with the intention to allow students to delve deeper into areas that inspire them. The modules are presented through a ÒmatrixÓ where students can tailor their training program to incorporate their specific areas of interest.

The training may be approached in two ways:

1. After completing a 200-hour teacher training course with BodyMindLife or another Yoga Alliance Registered School (RYS200 or RYS500), students may then continue with the mandatory and elective modules in any order they wish. (Please note that some modules WILL have prerequisites that must be completed first). Once a total of 300-hours worth of modules has been attained and all assignment work completed, a certificate for 500-hours of Yoga Alliance registered training will be awarded.
2. Students may participate in these modules individually, as ongoing training, as their first teacher training experience (perhaps to get a ÒtasteÓ), or simply to deepen their own yoga practice. A Statement of Training will be awarded for each module completed; however, no Yoga Alliance-registered certificate will be awarded unless a 200-hour teacher training certificate has been attained previously. It is also possible for students who are currently enrolled or are just completing a 200-hour teacher training course to participate in these modules.

NB: 300-hour modules may not be accrued towards the 200-hour teacher training certificate. A 500-hour certificate will only be awarded if 300-hours' worth of modules have been attended, as well as having completed a 200-hour teacher training.

Currently these modules will be offered in blocks of two to seven days, depending on the length of the module. It is envisaged that the modules will eventually be offered Part-time, as well as through Full-time intensives over a shorter duration.

The 300-hour training could be completed over two years. Dates for 2010/2011 to be advised.
