300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Retreat Description

The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training opens the door, introducing the body through asana, the breath through pranayama, and the principles that frame a life devoted to yoga. The 300-Hour training takes you through it.

Yoga’s holistic approach to transformation follows a clear inner logic. We come to understand the body through asana, which is the 200-Hour foundation. We come to understand our energy through pranayama, bandhas, and mudras, present in the 200h but taken to a far deeper level here. And we come to understand the mind, and to free ourselves from mental suffering, through meditation. It is meditation that makes yoga complete. The 300-Hour is where the eight-limbed path, first encountered in the 200-Hour, is truly embodied.

Meditation is the beating heart of this training. In the 200-Hour course, students sit for thirty minutes each morning. Here, meditation becomes a full field of study and experience, practiced daily with growing depth, until it reaches its fullest expression: a week-long silent retreat. Silence is not the absence of something. It is the ground from which real transformation grows.

This training is intended for practitioners who already have a sitting meditation practice and feel genuinely called to deepen it, not as a complement to their yoga, but as its living core.

It also calls for a willingness to step out of your comfort zone. To commit to a six-week immersive journey, embracing its challenges as opportunities, its silence as guidance, its depth as transformation.

If this already makes sense to you, you are ready to join this training.

A yoga teacher deepens their classes as they gain confidence in the process of transformation. Not through accumulating techniques, but through having lived the path. When you have moved through the layers of body, energy, and mind in your own practice, you become a genuine source of support for your students.

The depth you cultivate in yourself is the depth you offer others. This is the true purpose of the 300-Hour: not to add a certificate, but to become a teacher from whom guidance flows with authenticity and humility.

200h vs 300h: Key Differences

The 200-Hour and 300-Hour trainings are not simply sequential. They are complementary dimensions of the same path.

200-Hour 300-Hour
Primary focus Body: understanding through asana Mind: understanding through meditation
Meditation 30 min daily sitting practice Deep daily practice + full week of silent retreat
Pranayama & Mudras Foundations introduced Advanced, practiced daily for 6 weeks
Philosophy Introduction to yogic principles Deep dive into Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, Tantra
Teaching methodology Foundational teaching skills Advanced methodology, philosophy-integrated teaching
Duration 4 weeks 6 weeks
Certification RYT 200 RYT 300 (RYT 500 combined)

Yoga’s ancient map is systematic. The 200h gives you the tools to understand the body and the breath. The 300h gives you the tools to understand the mind. Together, they trace the full arc of yoga’s eightfold path, from the outer disciplines of asana and pranayama, inward to the quieter, more demanding territory of concentration, meditation, and self-inquiry.

For teachers, this matters profoundly. A class taught from genuine inner work carries a quality that technique alone cannot produce. The 300-Hour exists to cultivate that quality.

What Makes This
Training Special?

  • Meditation as a complete discipline: Where most advanced trainings treat meditation as one element among many, here it is the axis of the entire program, studied in depth, practiced daily, and lived fully during the silent retreat week. This is what makes the 300h genuinely different.
  • Pranayama and Mudras at an advanced level: The energetic tools introduced in the 200h are practiced intensively for six full weeks, allowing participants to embody rather than simply understand them.
  • A week of silence: The silent retreat is not a retreat from the training. It is its deepest teaching. Students emerge from this week changed in ways that classroom study alone cannot produce.
  • Holistic Integration: Physical practice, philosophical study, and personal introspection are woven together throughout, connecting body, energy, and mind as yoga has always intended.
  • Personalized Attention: The course fosters a close community that enables genuine mentorship and real feedback, building lasting bonds with peers and teachers alike.
  • Teaching from lived experience: Participants are guided to bring their own process of transformation into their teaching, developing a voice that is both knowledgeable and authentically rooted in practice.
  • Advanced Skill Development: Participants refine their asana instruction and gain real competence in teaching pranayama through daily immersion in bandhas, pranayama, and mudras across six weeks.
  • Comprehensive Anatomy: A thorough exploration of anatomy and physiology tailored specifically to yoga practice ensures participants can teach safely, effectively, and with a deep understanding of the body.
  • Sadhana and Leadership: Building a consistent personal practice and cultivating genuine humility as a teacher. The goal is not just skilled teachers, but lifelong seekers in love with yoga and in service to it.
  • Get a 20% discount on your first drop-in class at our yoga studio in Bangkok, perfect if you’re stopping over in the city on your way to Koh Phangan.

Who Is This Training For?

This training is primarily for teachers who have completed a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and feel a genuine pull to go deeper, not just in what they teach, but in who they are as practitioners.

It is specifically designed for those who already have a sitting meditation practice and are ready to make it central to their path. If meditation is still largely new to you, the 200-Hour may be the right next step first.
