The 300-hour Teacher Training is designed for practitioners wishing to continue their development beyond foundational teacher training.

It is intended for:

• Certified yoga teachers seeking to deepen their teaching skills

• Experienced practitioners committed to long-term personal practice

• Professionals in movement, sports, or body-based disciplines

• Practitioners looking for a progressive, non-intensive advanced training pathway

The objective of the 300-hour training is to build upon the foundations of the 200-hour training by deepening both practice and teaching over time.

Throughout the training, participants will:

• Enter or refine the Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Yoga

• Develop precision in teaching beginners and more advanced practitioners

• Refine teaching of the Primary Series, including key “roadblock” postures

• Deepen applied anatomical understanding for yoga practice and teaching

• Explore the subtle body and the chakra system

• Develop a meditation practice and deepen understanding of yoga philosophy, including the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali and the Bhagavad Gita

• Refine hands-on adjustment, observation, and communication skills

• Continue exploration of pranayama and kriya practices

The 300-hour training is offered in a hybrid and modular format, combining:

• In-person workshops and intensives with Linda Munro and Gérald Disse

• Selected workshops with invited international teachers (such as Chuck Miller, David Swenson, David Keil, or Lizzie Lasater)

• Online training modules hosted on the Ashtanga Yoga Paris Academy platform

• Personal practice, written work, and guided reflection

You have up to three years (with the possibility to extend to five) to complete the required hours, allowing you to adapt the training to your personal and professional life.

Teaching is primarily in English.

The training is accessible to people with disabilities, except in cases of severe motor impairment. Please contact us so we can assess together the feasibility of participation based on individual needs.

• Assessment: Continuous assessment throughout the training and final evaluations

• Certification: A training attestation and certificate of completion are issued once all assessments are validated, including the completion of 40 teaching assistances and 40 classes attended*

* At Ashtanga Yoga Paris, we believe that nothing replaces real-life teaching experience. This training includes teaching assistances, during which you will assist our teachers in regular weekly classes, as well as classes to attend as a student. This dual role allows you to grow both as a practitioner and as a teacher.

The training takes place over 3 to 5 years. We deliberately favour this long-term, flexible format over a short, intensive programme, for two main reasons:

• Undertaking a 300+ hour yoga teacher training should reflect a genuine personal commitment. At Ashtanga Yoga Paris, we are deeply committed to training teachers who are invested in both their personal practice and their teaching. Too many trainings today aim to fast-track certification to 500 hours after only a few months of practice and teaching. This is not the approach we wish to promote. We want each graduate of our programme to be recognised by their peers as a serious, high-quality teacher.

• This format allows you to adapt the training to your personal and professional life, without having to take one or two months off work at a time.

As a bonus: you will have access to our growing library of online courses on the Ashtanga Yoga Paris Academy platform for a duration on 5 years.

We offer two payment options for registration in the 300+ hour training program:

Option 1

• €800 due at registration to confirm enrolment

• Additional module registration fees are paid throughout the 3 years of training (with up to 2 additional years optional)

• The total cost of the training varies depending on the modules selected

Option 2

• €5,000 total (maximum €16.66 per hour)

• Payable in one instalment at registration, or in 3 instalments spread over the 3 years, as follows:

  • Year 1: Administrative registration (€200) + €1,800

  • Year 2: €1,800

  • Year 3: €1,200

In the case of external funding (France Travail, an OPCO, a company, or an institution—non-exhaustive list), only Option 2 (€5,000) is available, payable over 1 or 3 years.

All prices listed above are VAT included. Net prices are identical, as the training is VAT-exempt (Article 261-4-4a of the French Tax Code).

Registration is confirmed once the required payment has been made:

• €800 / €1,800 or €5,000, depending on the option selected

Payment is made by bank transfer only, and the amount must be paid before the start date of the first module.
