Building on Spira 200 hr Yoga and Mindfulness Training

Spira’s 200-hour teacher training is very detailed, we covered not only practicum but also read and analyze 8 books on philosophy, history, mindfulness, and anatomy. These ADDITIONAL 300 hours assume that you have been through a 200-hour training already. All topics that are listed in this module have been covered in the 200-hour level. These modules are intended to deepen your knowledge.

If you don’t have a 200-hour training or if your 200-hour training was not very detailed (8 weeks or shorter in duration), we recommend that you take Spira’s 200-hour teacher training before enrolling in our 300-hour curriculum. Again, this is simply our recommendation. Our 200-hour training is truly different, it is an amazing life-enriching journey, you will find it worthwhile even if you already have a 200-hour diploma. But we understand if that is not an option.

Our 300-hour training will be more challenging for those with no prior training, but by no means impossible or not enjoyable. We will try to review as much as possible to make classes comprehensive and whole for every student.

What you will learn

You will learn the art of mindful self-awareness, and meditation, the history of yoga and be well rounded in classical yogic texts. You will dive into anatomy, nutrition, self-care including making time for your own practice. We will discuss students’ different learning styles, different teaching styles, hands-on assisting, the business of yoga and more. You will study sequencing and safe and healthy choreography of asanas. You will learn the art of meditation, it’s historical roots and how it developed into a modern mindfulness practice. Your trainers will artfully overlay ancient yoga teachings and embed them into modern science.

We want to make sure that you will feel comfortable teaching at any level; from total beginners starting yoga later in life to advanced yogis and flexible gymnasts in their twenties.

At Spira, we teach from a deep understanding of anatomy. We keep our classes very much rooted in Western traditions utilizing mindfulness techniques.  You will learn how to teach yoga without preaching a particular spirituality.

Completing Teacher Training at Spira will allow you to inspire people from gyms to yoga festivals.  The training is also open to folks who simply wish to deepen their knowledge in the field of yoga and gain a better understanding of their own practice.
