300 HOUR POWER VINYASA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Dates To Be Announced
Original and locally created, Yoga Body Institute unveils and is proud to announce its very own 300 hour Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (Stay Tuned for Dates in Fall 2023)
Like our 200 hour Teacher Training, this 300 hour training is locally created. Ron and Linda Sambursky have been Owners of Yoga Body Shop since 2007.
Join Yoga Body Institute for this 300 hour Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training! Formerly known as 500 hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training—the 300 hour Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training combined with a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification will result in a Yoga Alliance 500 Hour certification.
Now that you have your 200 Hour Yoga Alliance training under your mat, and you are teaching students in classes, it is time to continue your journey into growth. There is nothing more important in life than growth! Take your teaching to the next level, hone your skills as a masterful teacher, and feel more powerful as a leader and human being.
If you are already certified (in any tradition) at the 200-hour level, with teaching experience, then you are eligible for this transformative program. You will learn to listen, observe, and give tools in a way that makes a difference with your students in an authentic and powerful way. This program is designed to take you out of your comfort zone and challenge you and give you access to unrealized potential. The rigorous nature of this Advanced Teacher Training produces results immediately and creates space for unlimited possibilities on your mat, in your teaching, and in your life.
After completing this rigorous and life changing 300-hour program, participants will be certified at the 500-hour teacher level as a Yoga Body Institute Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. This training will take place on weekends over 12 months. The 500-Hour Advanced Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Certification Training consists of 300 hours of Yoga Alliance-approved content that, when combined with your 200-hour training delivers a comprehensive and advanced 500-hour certification in Power Vinyasa Yoga.
