Schedule

Just like our 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certification Programs, we offer our students a taste of as many lineages as possible for the most well-rounded approach. We consider our programs to be non-biased, eclectic, and inspiring, offering the “greatest hits” from the best lineages. Our staff is certified in a variety of yoga schools, including Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Anusara, Jivamukti, and Viniyoga, among others. By presenting different lineages of yoga, our hope is that students realize that many paths lead to the same goal, and they can then decide what resonates most with them. Our educational goal is to help release the student of their conditioned educational expectations. We are not here to indoctrinate our students. This is a noncompetitive, open-hearted educational environment with an emphasis on personal growth, taught by exceptional leaders in the yoga field.

• Check-in is at the start of each session – If you are tardy you will be considered absent, unless you contact programs@youryoga.com to notify us of your tardiness and a valid reason. We will then count you as tardy instead of absent. Ongoing tardiness will not be allowed.
• Failure to attend will result in loss of Yoga Alliance credit eligibility. If this happens, we will notify you via email. No refunds will be given due to your absence. Please double and triple check you will be available for all of the sessions of the course you are signed up for.

You will be informed upon registering for each individual course as to whether or not it is recommended that you bring your book(s) with you.

To be eligible for the 300 Hour Yoga Alliance Certification, you will need to:

1.  Have already obtained a 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certification. Your 200-Hour education can be from any approved school, not just the Asheville Yoga Center (more info on Yoga Alliance).

2. Have an established daily yoga practice (recommended: 30–90 minutes, 5-6 days a week).  You will not be required to provide documentation, just work through the honor system.  More explanation in your Welcome and Information Packet upon registration.

3. Make payment (see below “MONEY AND FINANCES”).

4. Interview (book your interview here). 

5.  Have a willingness to grow.  A ready heart to receive and an open mind to blossom!

We try to make it as simple as possible. After reading as much as you can from this website, if you still have questions please contact our yoga teacher training ambassador, Suzanne at suzanne@youryoga.com or (828)772-0518. 

You must complete the program within 2 years.

– Enroll in the core curriculum program: either 4 week immersion or 8 weekend course

– Enjoy the training! It includes: 

150 hours = core curriculum

120 hours = elective courses

30 hours = homework and assignments

Total = 300 hours

– Submit your completed “Track Your Progress” document once you’ve completed your training

– Submit the $50 Completion fee

Congrats! Once you complete all 300 hours, we’ll ask you to submit your tracking grid where you have logged all of your training hours. Please allow us up to 10 days to verify that all requirements have been met. We’ll then provide a link to your $50 Completion Fee. Next, we’ll mail out your Graduation Packet! This includes your Asheville Yoga Center 300-Hour Certificate and instructions for submitting to Yoga Alliance. 

Please contact our 300 Hour Program Advisor with any questions.

Our courses average 10–45 people per event. Often the average is 30, which can seem like a cozy room, full of people and yoga props, but our instructors give ample Q&A time — as well as small peer group teaching time — so you leave each course with the confidence to apply what you have learned. 

Upon enrolling, you will receive a tracking grid to help you keep record of your trainings and credit hours. For each training, we will provide you with a breakdown of your credit hours, so you can easily keep your grid up to date.

You can also log into your Union account to find more details on your past and upcoming trainings.

Please contact our 300 Hour Program Coordinator with any questions.
