YTT 300 Teacher Training Program Description

Yoga Study Program With Teacher Certification:
Continuing Education after completion of the YTT 200 program

We will embark on this new journey as we develop our advanced continuing education program. This program will be of interest to those persons wishing to further their lifetime commitment of Yoga study and practice. The course material will provide ample opportunity for svadyaya pravacane ca! We teach as we are!

The 300HR-YTT program will be an additional 300 hours of study for persons who have completed any 200HR program. Classes will be conducted on Saturdays or Sundays twice monthly and, if we follow this format, the duration of the program will be two years. There could also be opportunities to have special two day weekend workshops from time to time which would shorten the overall course time. There will be plenty of make up times, as it’s hard to avoid missing a day and weather may cause cancellations.

The fee for the program is $60 per diem (8:30-3:30) or $40 per diem (8:30-12:30). To enroll in this program send a letter of intent indicating where you did your 200HR program and what further studies you may have completed along with a deposit of $108. The program is loosely structured, rotating through the full set of classes with no set enrollment or graduation date. Students accumulating sufficient hours will receive 300HR Certification through Frog Pond, and can apply for Registration with Yoga Alliance.

Prerequisites:  Three years of yoga training and contemplation.  A year of teaching would be useful.   Knowledge of some Sanskrit would help, though not required.

For further information please contact Diane at Frog Pond.

Namaste.
