Key pointers of a 300 hour yoga teacher training:

What is a 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training?
Yoga originated in India, in Rishikesh, where many highly enlightened Rishis attained moksha through the path of yoga. World Yoga Training offers authentic yoga teachings inspired by the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras, and the 300 Hour YTTC is one of the highest levels of certification in the field of yoga.
To enrol, students must have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training certification from a recognised school — this is a non-negotiable prerequisite, as the 300 Hour curriculum is built directly on that foundation.
Rishikesh carries the value and essence of yoga that no other yoga studio around the world could replicate, making it the natural setting to take your practice and teaching to an advanced, professional level.
