In general, taking a 500h yoga teacher training can be a life-changing experience, since during the 200h teacher trainings there isn’t enough time for students to dive deeply into the psychological aspects and philosophy of yoga. While 200h courses offer an understanding of the basics such as how to sequence a yoga class and practice teaching poses, 500h programs give students 300 more hours to dive deeper into yoga philosophy, chakras and anatomy.
So if you have already received your 200h certificate and would like to develop your skills and move to the next step in your career as a yoga teacher, or simply learn more about the ancient Indian practice, make sure to check the following list containing the Seattle 500h yoga teacher trainings happening in 2021.

This training will be 300 hours in addition to your 200 hours that you have already completed. You will be 500-hour certified if you have completed successfully both 200 and 300-hour training.
