Is 2021 the year you finally get your 500 Hour credential?
Have you been dreaming of exploring yoga as a true calling but didn't have the time or funds to get a proper 300 Hour training on the books?
Did your 200 Hour leave you wanting more but life's gotten in the way of continuing your education?
Are you already in our modular program and ready to reach this milestone?
Getting a 300 Hour accomplished is no small feat.
We can totally relate!
It takes time.
It's costly.
It takes guts.
And up until now, it required some serious Ubers, airplanes, and AirBNBs.
Not to mention time away from being able to work and earn.
Thankfully, 2020 made it a lot easier.
We're in the same boat - 2020 changed everything.
And that means for the first time ever, we're putting our 300 Hour training 100% online, right to your doorstep!
We've been hard at work creating a start-to-finish program online that reflects the same excellence, depth, efficacy, attention to detail, and sense of community we're known for.
If there was ever a time to seize the moment, it's now.
Why train with us?
