How the Yoga Teacher Training Levels Differ

The right training level depends on your experience, learning goals and previous yoga teacher training. Understanding the difference between introductory study, foundation training and advanced study can help you choose a suitable next step.

01
INTRODUCTORY STUDY

100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

A shorter training experience for students who want to explore yoga study in a structured setting. It can help build familiarity with the practice, but completing 100 hours should not be treated as equivalent to completing a full foundation-level teacher training qualification.

COURSE DURATION 12 Days View course
03
ADVANCED TRAINING

300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Designed for students who have already completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course and want to continue their studies at a more advanced level. Previous training is the key distinction between this course and the introductory or foundation options.

COURSE DURATION 28 Days Explore 300 Hour TTC
04
EXTENDED TRAINING

500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

An extended course for students seeking a longer period of structured yoga study. Its place in a student's training path depends on the course structure and the student's previous qualifications and experience.

COURSE DURATION 59 Days View course

Choosing a training level

Course hours alone do not establish professional teaching eligibility. Consider the qualification awarded, any prerequisite training, and the recognition applicable to your intended teaching path. A 100-hour course should not automatically be treated as a substitute for a 200-hour teacher training qualification.
