300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training

To enroll in the 300-Hour Teacher Training, students must have completed a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. While there is no minimum number of teaching hours required, we highly recommend spending at least one year teaching after completing your 200-Hour training. Prospective students can then schedule an application call with Shaelyn at shae@tucsonyogapod.com to connect, ask questions, and ensure the program feels like a good fit for both the student and Yoga Pod Tucson.

As you explore different teacher training programs, you'll notice that many (including ours) highlight that they are approved by Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is the largest nonprofit association representing the yoga community. It is also the largest worldwide governing body that approves schools whose curriculum meet their 'standards'. These standards include which topics are taught and how many hours teachers spend teaching them. When choosing a yoga training program, looking for the Yoga Alliance stamp of approval can be helpful in that it means the program is more likely to be credible compared to programs where the school has not had their training program reviewed in depth and approved. Yoga Pod Tucson's 300 Hour Teacher Training Program is approved by Yoga Alliance's 300 Hour Program criteria and can be used to register as an RYT500 through Yoga Alliance.

This training is designed to expand both the depth and breadth of your teaching. Through advanced study across multiple yoga and movement modalities, you’ll leave with more tools to work with a wider range of students, greater confidence in your teaching, and the ability to develop offerings that reflect your own interests and strengths.

Graduates who have completed a qualifying 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training may also use this 300-hour training toward eligibility for the RYT 500 designation through Yoga Alliance. This advanced credential can support continued professional growth and may open additional teaching, leadership, and educational opportunities within studios and other wellness settings.

The flexibility of our modular format makes it easy to stay on track even when life happens. Students can accumulate their required hours by choosing from modules offered throughout the annual calendar, so missing an individual module doesn’t necessarily mean making up those specific hours.

If a student misses a class within a module they’re already enrolled in, or needs to miss part of a required intensive, we offer vetted videos and alternative learning experiences that can be used to make up the remaining hours.

We love supporting graduates who are interested in continuing their teaching journey at Yoga Pod Tucson. Teachers must have at least 50 hours of logged teaching experience before being considered for a teaching position.

Once you’ve completed the training and your 50 teaching hours, you’ll have the opportunity to demo a class and, if it’s a good fit, gain additional experience through mentorship and community classes at the studio. From there, successful community teaching may lead to an invitation to join our substitute instructor team and, eventually, a regular class when the right opportunity becomes available.

While completing the training does not guarantee a teaching position, our goal is to create a supportive pathway for graduates to continue developing their skills and potentially grow into teaching roles within the Yoga Pod Tucson community.

Yes! We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans that can extend over 12 months. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot, and from there, we’re happy to work with you to create a payment timeline that feels manageable and supportive.
