300-hour Yoga Teacher Training
Step into a deeper season of practice and teaching with our 300-hour Jiivana (L.I.F.E.) Yoga® Teacher Training program. Training meets you where you are and helps you refine your voice, your sequencing, and your impact. We go beyond asana into philosophy, energetics, and L.I.F.E. coaching tools you can use in your classes and in your life.
You will spend more time with Dana and our senior trainers than at the 200-hour level, with mentoring, apprenticeship, and a community that keeps you accountable and inspired. You’ll have more opportunities to practice, receive feedback, refine your teaching, and develop greater confidence in how you lead.

Business foundations for building a sustainable teaching practice
For those who have taken our 200-hour training, you’ll deepen your understanding of complementary practices such as Thai Yoga Bodywork, Qigong, and Ayurveda. If you're new to our programs, you’ll build a strong foundation and begin to explore how these tools support your growth.
You’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor for guidance, feedback, and apprenticeship planning throughout the training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right next step if I finished my 200-hour a while ago?
Yes. You do not need to have completed your 200-hour recently. The training is designed to help you deepen your knowledge, strengthen your teaching skills, and build from where you are now.
Do I need to be teaching now?
No. You do not need to be actively teaching to enroll. This training can support you whether you are currently teaching, returning after time away, or looking to deepen your practice before deciding how you want to teach and lead.
Is this offered in-studio or online?
Both. We offer in-studio and hybrid options, and all sessions are recorded.
Can I balance this with work and family?
Yes. Live training sessions are held on Fridays and Saturdays in studio and online, with Sunday designated for remote self-study. Monday sessions are live and held online. Coaching circles are also online. Training meets monthly, and recordings are available if your schedule shifts. If you find yourself out of balance, we will help you create a plan that works for you.
How much time is needed outside training weekends?
Plan for 1 to 2 hours each week for reading and home practice, plus one SEY class each week. Apprentice hours are completed throughout the program and scheduled with your mentor.
What happens if I miss a session?
All sessions are recorded. Review the recording and connect with your mentor for guidance. We discuss expectations and options in the first session.
What business support is included?
You will clarify your offers, pricing, and outreach plan, and learn practical tools for boundaries and ethical marketing.
How big is the cohort?
We intentionally keep the cohort small so you have more opportunities for individual feedback, mentorship, and connection with your trainers and fellow trainees.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. See Investment and Payment Options for deposit and installment details.
