A pathway to deepen your practice, teaching and understanding of yoga

Since 2015, Marit and the Seasonal Yoga team have offered a range of advanced training and CPD programmes for yoga teachers. This pathway brings these specialist courses together to create a comprehensive 300-hour advanced teacher training, which can be completed alongside your existing 200-hour qualification to work towards a 500-hour RYT pathway.

The training is designed for teachers who want to go beyond the foundations of their initial teacher training and develop greater depth, confidence and skill across all aspects of yoga. You can be 200 hour qualified with any yoga school and come and complete your 300 hour qualification with us at Seasonal Yoga.

The 300-Hour Training

The advanced training includes:

• Seasonal Yin Level 1 & Level 2 (100 hours) – developing a deeper understanding of Yin postures, anatomy, skeletal variation, meridians, the Five Elements and Five Spirits
• Going Deeper into Yoga Philosophy & Meditation (80 hours)– exploring yoga philosophy, meditation and mindfulness in greater depth, with opportunities to bring the teachings into everyday life and teaching
• Alignment, Adjustment & Inclusion (AAI) (50 hours)– developing confident and safe hands-on adjustment skills alongside a deeper understanding of accessibility and inclusive teaching
• Three levels of Breath training (50 hours) – progressing from foundational breathwork to advanced practices, physiology, breath coaching and practitioner skills
• Plus additional 20 hours (Explore the Yamas and Niyamas, workshops, yinspiration, etc. you can choose from a wide variety of courses.)

This creates a rich and varied programme that allows you to explore the physical, energetic, philosophical and contemplative dimensions of yoga.

How the Training Works

The 300-hour pathway is made up of a number of specialist courses which can be completed over 2–3 years.

The core pathway includes:

Seasonal Yin Level 2

Going Deeper into Yoga Philosophy & Meditation

Breath Levels 1, 2 & 3
A progressive three-level breath training pathway completed alongside the other elements of the programme. (Breath 3 running Autumn 2026, next course planned Autumn 2028)

Explore the Yamas and Niyamas

This course is self run, journaling exploration of the yamas and niyamas, the guide to living from Patanjali Sutras. It is including in the Going deeper into Yoga philosophy and Meditation course and can be done any time and takes 10 weeks. 

You can begin the advanced pathway at the start of any year. Depending on which courses you choose to start with and the order in which you complete them, the full 300 hours may take 2–3 years.
