300HR Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
Led by Morgan O’Hare, Leah Cullis, and Carter Miles
Overview
The Present Practice 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is an advanced, immersive, and deeply embodied program for teachers and dedicated practitioners ready to refine their craft, expand their mastery, and step into leadership — on and off the mat.
This training consists of a 250-hour core curriculum, which forms the foundation of the Present Practice 300HR Path. The core curriculum offers a rigorous, thoughtfully sequenced education across philosophy, advanced asana, intelligent sequencing, hands-on assisting, pranayama, meditation, and subtle body studies. The pricing listed here applies to the 250-hour core curriculum only.
Following completion of the core, trainees will complete a 50-hour specialization module of their choice to fulfill the full 300-hour (RYT-500) pathway. The 50-hour specialization is not included in the core tuition and is registered and paid for separately at the time of module enrollment.
Enrollment in the Present Practice 300HR requires completion of a 200-hour Yoga Alliance–approved teacher training. Specialization modules may be completed in the same year as the core training or in any future year, offering flexibility to align with your interests, schedule, and teaching goals.
