300 Hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training Information Packet The Soul of Yoga The Soul Institute 627 Encinitas Blvd 162 S Rancho Santa Fe Road Encinitas, CA Suite A70, Encinitas, CA 92024 92024 760.943.7685 300hr Advanced Holistic Teacher Training ​ The Soul of Yoga 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training Thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell you about our 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Teacher Training Program! Here are just some of the qualifications that set Soul of Yoga training apart: ● Our master level faculty. While some other training programs are taught by ​ Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, PT’s or other non-yogic healers, our faculty are true Yoga Experts, Masters and Researchers that have been living and studying yoga and its therapeutic effects for decades. Leslie Kaminoff, Nischala Joy Devi, Richard Miller, Amy Weintraub and other renowned yoga luminaries will impart their depth of wisdom to you in this very special training program. ● A deeply spiritual journey. Yoga is a spiritual tradition. Many schools try to divorce the ​ spiritual from their program leaving students with a dry, academic and clinical understanding of the Yogic healing concepts. Soul of Yoga’s training takes students deep into the heart and soul of the Yogic teachings, guiding you on a journey into your own spiritual being. To us Yoga Teacher Training is more than vocational, it’s a pathway for personal transformation. ● So many elective choices. Our students have the chance to “specialize” their healing ​ career by choosing 150 hours of elective courses. Whether you want to specialize in Hatha or Kundalini, Ayurveda or working with addiction, women’s issues or the aging population you’ll find the right coursework to suit your own personal yogic path. ● Total freedom. We make it easy by allowing you to take the curriculum in any order, ​ providing distance learning options, transfer credit and by offering low cost, no credit check payment plans. ● Repeat classes. Soul of Yoga offers our students the opportunity to repeat in-house ​ courses they’ve already taken at no additional cost. We know that Yoga Therapy study is a lifelong endeavor and we want to support you in having a deeper and richer understanding of what you’ve learned. ● Continuing your education. The required courses and many of the elective courses in ​ the 300 Hour Advanced Holistic Training program are also part of our 825 Hour IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Training curriculum. Students that graduate from our 300 hour program have the opportunity to continue directly onto the Yoga Therapy Training program without a bridge program required. 1 ​What our graduates say about us... “ The Soul of Yoga 300 hour Advanced Holistic Yoga Teacher Training changed my life.
