This course is those who have completed one or even several 200 HR Yoga Teacher Training Courses, and want to learn a 500 HR Certificate. A 300 Hour course is a bridge course and is called advanced in that it goes beyond what can be covered in a 200 hour training. You certainly do not need to be an advanced practitioner to join.
The training is based upon the highly acclaimed work of BKS Iyengar, author of Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama, Light on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Light on Life.
