the mastery of teaching yoga

300hr teacher training

The 300hr training carries on from where we left off in the 200hr and takes the teachings to the next level. The main focus of the training is to give you the tools to become a versatile yoga teacher in this competitive industry, one that can facilitate classes in different styles that complement each other. In the process, the course deepens your understanding of anatomy, physiology, teaching methodology, sequencing, the subtle body and yoga philosophy. 

More importantly, besides the knowledge that you will acquire, our commitment is to help you become a solid teacher, with your own style and way to express yourself and in alignment with your core truths. In other words, so you can be the best version of yourself on and off the mat.

The course is a collection of carefully curated topics bound together with one goal in mind, to help you develop into a strong and skillful teacher and to empower you to rise to your highest potential.

The training is divided into 4 modules of 60hr each spread over 8 days, plus 30 hours for the practicum. This way we complete the required 270 contact hours to receive the Yoga Alliance 300hr accreditation. The modules can be taken in any order, in any city around the world where Nico offers them, you pay as you go and there is no need to commit for the whole program. The only requirement is that all four modules and practicum are completed within a three yer period since the start of the first module. The plan is as follows:

Module 1: SKILL IN ACTION ~ 60hr Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Training

Module 2: THE YIN WAY ~ 60hr Yin Teacher Training

Module 3: THE CORE CONNECTION ~ 60hr Pilates Teacher Training

Module 4: ROADMAPS TO INFINITY ~ 60hr Meditation, Pranayama & Mantra Teacher Training

Each module of this training comes with it's own comprehensible manual and an in-depth guide on how to teach that particular style. We are also reading and discussing in group four classical eastern texts that align with each module. These texts are:

• Module 1: The Bhagavad Gita

• Module 2: The Tao Te Ching

• Module 3: The Yoga Sutras

• Module 4: The Ramayana

Practicum: To complete the training, once you have attended all 4 modules, you will join Nico in one of his teacher trainings program weekends weeklong formats (both the 200hr and the 60hr modules) to assist his morning and afternoon classes and teach on your own the following:

• a 30 minute Meditation & Pranayama class followed by

• a 90 minute Vinyasa/Core class in one of the morning sessions.

• a 60 minute Yin/Restorative class in one of the afternoon sessions, on a different day.

After each class the training will receive Recognition & Feedback from Nico and the group.

The cost to participate in the practicum is 600 CHF and the date will be arranged individually based on spots available. Upon the completion of this training you'll be entitled to apply for the 500 hour accreditation with Yoga Alliance.

You Learn, They Learn

When you complete this program, we will donate 100 CHF to cover one year’s worth of high school school education for one student living on the Siargao island in the Philippines. Once the program begins, the grass root Swiss NGO Siargao Masaya will send you by email the name and picture of the student you are sponsoring. After the first year, you will decide if you want to continue sponsoring their education. When you learn, they learn too!
