+300 hr YTT PROGRAM
Deeper Study Modules open to ALL
We offer a module-based 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Program. This means you can begin at any time and complete at your own pace.
These deeper study training modules are for those seeking Advanced 300-hr YTT, 200-hr RYT’s CEU’s, and ANYONE wishing to deepen their lives and seeking Self-transformation and liberation through yoga. You do not have to be a certified yoga instructor, simply a curious seeker.
Registration is always open.
Svälja Yoga is Northern Minnesota's premiere trauma-conscious training educational provider
We also offer a 250hr YTT dual certificate program
How it works:
This program is anchored by a collection of essential modules, which are a mandatory set of the curriculum. These comprise 225 of the total 300 hours.
Beyond those modules, there are a host of elective modules which you can choose in order to complete your certificate in the way that feels best for you, your interests, and passions. These comprise 75 of the total 300 hours.
You get to curate your education to align with what most resonates for you through our diverse Electives.
**Additionally, any of these modules can be taken as an elective outside of +300 hr YTT certificate program for CEUs or simply for your own enrichment!
