Expand Your Teaching and Practice AND Earn your 500-Hour Certification
…in a viable weekend format.
Program Overview:
The West End Yoga Center 300-Hour Expansive Teacher Training Program is directed towards prior 200-hour certified Yoga teachers (not limited to WE graduates) who have a passion and curiosity about Yoga and all the many facets, paths and ways to practice. This eighteen-month training is perfect for practitioners and teachers who are looking to explore more Yoga and therefore deepen their personal practice and teaching repertoire in a shared community.The participants in this 300-hour training meet one weekend per month for an average of 10 hours. These information-rich weekends entail content-specific experiences lead or guided by knowledgeable and qualified teachers. These weekends build-up to a total of 4 Modules grouped by content and consist of an average of 5 months from start to end.
In addition to these monthly weekend sessions, participants meet one weekday evening for two hours per month, for the favored “WE colLABorate”. This is a free and open opportunity for the Yoga teacher community to meet and share ideas and questions and co-inspire one another on thoughtfully chosen topics.
This 300-Hour program gives the trainees the requirements, along with a previous 200-hour teacher training certification, to then apply as a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 500) with Yoga Alliance. The total 270 contact hours (time spent with qualified teachers according to the syllabus) is built into the 4 modules, as this is the total number of contact hours required by YA. The additional 30+ required non-contact hours consists of assigned reading and other “omwork” assigned along the journey. Many of the topics studied throughout the 300-hour training were most likely introduced in a 200-hour training program; however, these topics are now explored more deeply and richly in order to better apply and perhaps teach/share more of what is learned with confidence.
