Do you have your 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certification and want to take your teaching (or learning) journey to the next level? Have you been considering a 300/500 hour YTT program in order to get your RYT-500 status?

Join Waynesville Yoga Center for an accessible and unique 300/500 hour YTT program!

INTIMATE GROUP

Some training programs are so packed, you feel like you’re lost in the crowd. Our yoga teacher training programs are only open to a limited number of participants, so you’re always part of an intimate, supportive group.

This can not only make you more successful, logistically, in the program – it also helps you gain safe, supportive access to the deeper and more vulnerable aspects of advanced Yoga studies.

UNIQUE MODULES

Our 300 hour program offers some unique modules not found in other trainings, such as Trauma Knowledge in Yoga – or Yoga for Hand & Wrist Issues.

We believe that taking our practice off the mat is a vital function of living the 8 limbs and are excited to offer some “outside the box” modules for your Yoga education.

2 YEARS TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM

Learn at your own pace, on your schedule!

BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

Why fight the traffic, intensity, and crazy parking of the city when you can complete your training at our gorgeous, retreat-like location?!

Waynesville Yoga is located in a beautiful historic building, just off Main Street: you get the convenience of being downtown but the quiet feeling of private space. Enjoy our beautiful wrap-around porch when it’s warm – or relax in front of our library fireplace when it’s cool.

NO DOGMA

While we of course teach the history of Yoga – according to Yoga Alliance standards – we don’t espouse any particular religion or belief system. While Yoga acknowledges the unseen presence of spirit or soul – and seeks to reconnect body with that soul – we don’t adhere to any particular dogma. We’ve had folks of many faiths tell us they appreciate this adherence to acceptance vs. a particular dogma.

REALISTIC HYBRID SCHEDULE

We realize that many of you work and have lots of things to juggle, so all of our modules are held on the weekends with a hybrid program.

You will have access to the modules online to review at your own pace, and then we met in person Saturdays 12-5 and Sundays 9-11:30am.


Of the modules offered, 14 are required – and you must complete 18 total – giving you 7 options for the other 4 elective modules. Here is what is coming up:

September 8-10: Yoga Sutras with Candra
