300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program Catalog March 2021 – August 2022 MISSION Green Lotus Group, LLC d/b/a Green Lotus Yoga & Healing Center, created its 300-hour program to strengthen and support the foundation yoga teachers earned in their Yoga Alliance RYT 200- hour certification. In this advance-level program Green Lotus continues its commitment to the success of all enrollees in learning the practical application of how yoga contributes to the personal physical and emotional growth and wellness of people from diverse backgrounds, ages, and perspectives. It extends its history of deep support so that each student reaches her/his level of self-reflection, self-inquiry and self-discovery to extend personal transformation and the ability to communicate it. OVERVIEW Green Lotus has been conducting 200-hour teacher training classes since 2008 and in 2013 offered its advanced 300-hour training to its first cohort of students. The 18-month 300-hour curriculum supports teachers seeking deeper enquiry into how yoga – in its many facets of ethics, philosophy, physical movement (asana) and breath work, meditation, Ayurveda, and more – supports overall wellness and well-being. Yoga now can be found not only in yoga centers but also in schools, nursing homes, businesses, treatment facilities, VA and other hospitals, VA clinics, churches, athletic teams – both amateur and professional – and in most walks of life. Green Lotus’s program offers electives to give students the choice to focus on a more vigorous or therapeutic selection of courses. This program which can be completed between 12 and 18 months, fulfills the requirements of the Yoga Alliance 500-hour RYT certification. The program’s modular design permits students to complete their training at a pace at which they can adequately absorb and practice the sophisticated material to apply it in their work.
