300HR Yoga Teacher Training

Halifax Yoga certifies yoga teachers at the international level with Yoga Alliance. Here at Halifax Yoga, we have been certifying quality yoga teachers for over a decade.

The 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training is a course for professional development in Power Vinyasa Yoga, along with a multitude of other styles and disciplines.

Our facilitating team offers a variety of styles, methods and modules to ensure a full bodied experience, with an option to specialize in a more focused area.

We offer education modules, professionally facilitated by our team, in the areas of advanced Asana, advanced sequencing, advanced anatomy, trauma informed practice, philosophy, advanced energetics, Pranayama, pre-natal, restorative yoga, teaching and feedback, Svadhaya, Seva and so much more.

Halifax Yoga stands out as a leader in the arena of yoga education. We are a community of supportive and attentive teachers. We offer you mentoring, coaching and community throughout your 300hr experience.

You get the opportunity to teach a regularly scheduled community class to sharpen your chops as you learn, with the support of our mentoring team, with immediate feedback to grow you as an individual and as a professional yoga teacher.

You must be certified, with a 200 hr YTT prior to applying for the 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training program from a Yoga Alliance accredited school.

In this 300hr program, there are compulsory courses as well as electives; not all courses are offered each year.

You can progress at your own pace! We recommend that you complete your 300-hour coursework within 3-5 years.

This will ensure time to process and practice what you learn, as well as keep you motivated and on track for your certification.

Courses for the 300-hour certification must be completed at Halifax Yoga led by one of our designated certified instructors, unless otherwise approved by Halifax Yoga administration.
