The 300 hour yoga teacher training program in Cartersville, Georgia was established in 2008. The program will allow a yoga teacher, registered at the 200 hour level, to continue their education and deepen their knowledge and teaching skills.

The admission for the 300 hour teacher training is rolling and you are welcome to jump in anytime.  We bring in some of the most qualified teachers from all over the country. This year, we are hosting Rebecca Dennis, master teacher from San Diego, CA; Marlysa Sullivan, Kripalu and Maryland University of Integrative Health faculty; Eleanora Lipton, international guest teacher and published author; and Diane Gottlich, Iyengar trained yoga mentor.

The Etowah Valley Yoga 300 Hour Teacher Training Program focuses on mastery. Our goal is to fine-tune the concepts that were acquired during the teacher’s 200 hour teacher training and to increase the yoga teacher’s repertoire, versatility, anatomical and kinestheic awareness, tools for dealing with special populations, proficiency, philosophy, confidence and overall capability as a teacher.

We will focus on the APPLICATION of knowledge, rather than just acquiring it. We provide support, insight and mentorship throughout the duration of the program. The program director and lead teacher, Abbey Brewer, has 22 years experience as a yoga teacher and has been an anatomy teacher at the college level for many years. All of the guest instructors in this program have a minimum of 12 years of yoga teaching experience.

The retreat and weekends attended during training are also applicable for Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP) hours.

Program structure: The 300 hour training consists of 10 weekends and one mandatory 5 day chakra retreat. While some of the weekends are mandatory, we also offer optional a la carte weekends to fulfill your 10 weekend Yoga Alliance requirement. Optional weekends include Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training (4 weekends total) and Thai Yoga Bodywork (depending on guest instructor availability).

Schedule

Please Note:  Our studio has extended the time frame for completion of the 300 hour program and workshops to 3 years (or more, as needed) in response to the shut down, COVID protocols, and addressing each student’s needs.

All weekends can count as continuing education for Registered Yoga Teachers!

The 300 hour yoga teacher training program is open to teachers who have completed the first level of training (200 Hour), either at Etowah Valley Yoga or another Registered Yoga School.

This training is unique in that participants have the flexibility to choose several of the workshops that they attend. Therefore, we ask that the retreat be paid for individually, as well as each weekend. Weekend rates vary from $275 – $350 depending on the topic/teacher.

Generally, the studio allots 2 full years to complete the RYT 300 training program. However, we have had students complete the program in as little as a year and have allowed students to extend their time due to extenuating circumstances. The 300 hour program will be ongoing so students can move at the pace which best suits their schedule, completing the ten weekends and week long residential retreat as their time allows.

Please feel free to contact us anytime with questions. Once you have submitted your application, we will email you to schedule a phone meeting.
