Certification

if you are 200-hour certified, our
JOY 300 hour program will expand
your knowledge and grow you
personally and professionally.

OVERVIEW

If you are 200-hour certified, our JOY 300 hour program will expand your knowledge and grow you personally and professionally.

The core of our program features a curriculum that addresses anatomy, language, meditation, history, Ayurveda, and foundational aspects of instruction. You’ll spend eight sessions working with Jennifer Prugh and your colleagues, clarifying your career aspirations so that you will professionally practice your passion and expertise. Additionally, you’ll participate in four seasonal Ayurvedic cleanses focused on the whys and hows of the seasonal-based asana found in Breathe Together Yoga’s Tapas classes. The combination of these will give you a deep understanding of self-care in both on-the-mat practice and lifestyle that supports you and your students.

You will round out your core classes with elective courses, which gives you additional time in an area of specific interest. For those who choose, you have the opportunity to study on retreat in a culture where yoga and mind body practices evolved as part of our commitment to providing immersive education, such as India, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Japan, or Bali.

We offer a non-dogmatic, evidence-based approach to yoga, providing a supportive, rigorous, and inspirational environment to integrate what you are learning. When you join our JOY 300-hour program, you learn from faculty members with deep subject matter expertise. Our faculty have been actively working in their fields of expertise for decades and come with much to share from their experience that will enrich your learning. Combined, our teachers have 77 years of teaching experience and 107 years of personal practice.
