How to Prepare for the 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training to Feel Successful

Welcome to the 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, beginning on April 12, 2025!
This program is designed to offer an immersive and in-depth experience for yoga teachers eager to expand their expertise and refine their teaching skills.

The training is structured into two modules—an in-person immersion and a comprehensive virtual component, providing both flexibility and deep engagement.

You can register for both of the modules in the 300-Hour Honors Program!

Each module is carefully designed to enhance your understanding of sequencing, anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology.

Curious about what’s included in each module? Read on to explore the full breakdown of the training, including the specialized anatomy and restorative yoga teachings led by Erin Moon!

What to Expect in this Yoga Teacher Training Article:

Welcome to The honors program!

Based on the many trainings I have taken, I brought together all the parts I really enjoyed to create The Honors Program.

I have been teaching this program for over 10 years and continue to be inspired by the students who show up.

After my last online training back in 2020, I redesigned the 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training to have both an in-person and a virtual component. Nothing compares to being in person, especially for sequencing, hands-on assists, and deepening our personal sadhana. We will meet for two weeks in April and dive into all the ways to improve and enhance our teaching and practice.

Prerequisite: you must have a 200-hour certificate to join the full program/in-person component.
