Choosing the Best Yoga Teacher Training For You: Why the Awakening Yoga 300 Hour RYT Stands Out?
✶ Modular Learning
Our program is uniquely structured to be cumulative and module-based, giving you the freedom to choose from a variety of online or in-person courses. Each module builds on the next, allowing you to progress at your own pace within a 3-year window while aligning your studies with your lifestyle and interests.
✶ Experienced Guidance
Learn directly from Patrick Beach, Carling Harps, and our dedicated team of experienced instructors. As both practitioners and educators, they bring depth, clarity, and personal support to every stage of your journey—ensuring you feel guided, challenged, and inspired throughout the program.
✶ Accreditation & Progression
This 300-Hour Advanced RYT program is ideal for those who have already completed a 200-Hour certification with Awakening Yoga Academy or any Yoga Alliance accredited school. For teachers trained elsewhere, our 20-Hour Immersion serves as a bridge into the Awakening Yoga vinyasa system, preparing you for the advanced curriculum. Successful completion of the program, combined with your 200HR training, qualifies you to register as a Yoga Alliance 500 RYT.
✶ Diverse & In-Depth Curriculum
Go beyond the foundations with advanced teaching methodology, anatomy, physiology, philosophy, and refined practice techniques. Our curriculum is designed to expand your understanding and provide both practical and theoretical depth—creating transformative experiences that ripple beyond the mat and into your teaching and life.
✶ Redefining Yoga Training
At Awakening Yoga Academy, our mission is to deliver consistently high-quality, current education for yoga teachers and students. Through a balanced hybrid approach—blending the accessibility of online learning with the depth of in-person training—we create a sustainable, effective path that supports diverse learning needs and lifestyles.

Yoga Alliance requires a combination of 200 RYT + 300 RYT = 500 RYT
These hours cannot overlap, which means you need to have completed a 200hour program prior to the start of your advanced training. Students may choose to complete both their foundational 200 hour program and their Advanced 300 hour program with Awakening Yoga Academy.
-
Students can begin their education either online or in-person! Choose whatever fits your lifestyle, schedule, passion demands. However, both online & in-person requirements must be completed before moving on to your final project and capstone meeting with Patrick or Carling.
-
We try to offer events spread across the calendar year and across multiple countries and continents. Ranging from weekends to full week intensives to destination retreats.
If you absolutely cannot attend a live event due to outside circumstances please reach out so we may discuss potential possibilities in more detail.
