advanced yoga teacher training (modular format or full 300h)

DE

Insight, Continuing Education and Personal Growth

When you search for a place to con­tin­ue your jour­ney in Yoga Stud­ies, as a new or expe­ri­enced teacher or sea­soned prac­ti­tion­er, this Train­ing gives a chance for per­son­al­ized edu­ca­tion and growth. The var­i­ous  Mod­ules form the back­bone of this pro­gram with a wide range of spe­cial­ized study. Take the entire train­ing for cer­ti­fi­ca­tion or choose areas and mod­ules that sup­port your yog­ic path. 

Each year, we begin this 11-month jour­ney. The pro­gram is repeat­ed each year which allows you to study in a short time win­dow of one year or to stretch your stud­ies over 2 years and col­lect hours/modules.

Each inten­sive Mod­ule gives an immerse aspect into the prac­tice. And what also brings depth is the work in between mod­ules — var­i­ous read­ings, record­ings and class­es which keep the rhythm and ensure steady per­son­al­ized growth through­out the training.

There are two ways to do this training
