You sit, peering intently at your laptop or technological device, scanning yoga teacher trainings websites. The thought that gestated several weeks ago, has fully manifested into action. You are going to answer that call for adventure, and book yourself onto a yoga teacher training course. Though, after appraising several homepages that showcase beaming Yogis dressed in graduational whites, proudly holding their well-earned accreditation. You are struck with a question. What is the difference between 200-Hour and a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training? 200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Once you have completed a 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher Training. You will be provided international accreditation. You will have immediate entitlement to use the word RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) and hold a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher certification. You then have the option to become a Yoga Alliance® member. They have certified RYTs in 130 countries and territories, around the world. A 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, is learning dispersed over a 200-hour period. It may be that you choose an intensive all-inclusive yoga teacher training course ranging anywhere between two weeks to one month. Or something that covers many weekends over the period of several months to a year. This is all dependent upon your Modis operandi. Though the curriculum between schools can vary; a solid foundational 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training course should endow you with the skills, and knowledge to teach with a certain amount of assurance and confidence. Be aware that not all 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training courses are created equal. It is important to look at the curriculum and research if the training suits your needs and expectations. Samasthala Yoga has developed an all-inclusive 200-Hour Teacher Training programme that goes well beyond the reach of the basic 200-hour YTT. 300-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING This course is taken, upon succession of your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. It is classified as a secondary level of your education, and can be referred to as ‘Advanced Yoga Teacher Training’. A good 300-Hour Yoga Training programme should aim to deepen your understanding of all that is yoga. This will include fundamental asana, philosophy, ayurveda, meditation, and anatomy. It is generally required, that you complete your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (and acquire some teaching experience) before attending a 300-Hour YTT. Upon completion of both, you can register as an RYT-500. This advanced teaching certificate indicates that you are prepared to teach yoga with a deeper set of knowledge and skills, developed through more extensive studies. The Samasthala Yoga 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is condensed into a 200-hour format, but holds the depth of something more akin to a 300-hour accreditation. Through careful planning, and some TLC, we have outlined a detailed curriculum . This it to ensure you have the edge as a yoga practitioner and teacher, upon graduation. You are welcome to view the video below to discover how this exciting venture was formed, and why.
