300 HR YTT

Deepen Your Practice & Share the Gift of Yoga

300 Hr Yoga Teacher Training

“It is easy to find self-proclaimed teachers. But it is hard to find a genuine student. A true teacher is grateful to be a student – forever.” – Vedaji

The journey to the heart goes as deep as the seeker’s desire. To facilitate deeper self-growth and learning, Vedaji and his students have created a 300 hour program in the heart of yogic traditions – Rishikesh, India. If the 200 hour YTT was a beginner’s tour in the landscape of yoga, the 300 hour YTT invites you to do a “Master’s degree”, specializing in areas that pull your heartstrings with more vitality.

Immerse yourself in the study of the physical, energetic and spiritual aspects of yoga – in a much more thorough way. Vedaji’s 300 hour training allows you to create a colorful palette of compulsory offerings and specialized electives over the span of 1 month. Elective cohorts will allow deeper introspection, discussion & activity-based engagements and are purposefully smaller than mandatory offerings.

Provided that you have completed all assignments and attendance hours, upon graduation, you will receive a 300 hour yoga teacher training certificate in a beautiful ceremony in Rishikesh from Vedaji. Students can eventually register as a RYT 300 (or RYT 500 in case one has gone through their RYT 200 with Vedaji) via Yoga Alliance.

A Word of Advice:

  • This program is for sincere seekers, not a tourist package for vacationers. We will not be engaged in sightseeing or frivolous activity during the training.
  • The best candidates for the program are those who have attended Vedaji’s Bhakti Sandesh and Bhakti Pravesh courses. Doing the 200 hour YTT with Vedaji is a recommended prerequisite. Doing a 200 hour YTT (even if with another studio) before taking on this training is a mandatory prerequisite.
  • Space is limited in our yoga teacher training. The 300 hour YTT with Vedaji is only held once annually. Please consider your ability to commit to such a program in terms of time (study, travel & practice), finances and energy.
  • To support our ethos of non-cruelty and discipline-enriched freedom, we ask participants to not consume meat/fish/eggs, alcohol, recreational drugs, cigarettes/vapes and other known intoxicants during the course of the training. We offer much healthier Ayurvedic cuisines to nourish your body, and higher pleasures through vitalizing practices so that you do not feel the intensity of restriction. But if you feel unprepared to deal with the symptoms of withdrawal, we suggest you seek a registered therapist or doctor instead.  
  • Your physical and mental health will be tested during this program. If you are struggling to sustain them, you should first consider getting medical attention. The program can only support you to the ability your body and mind are supportive of you. We will ask for your medical reports at the interview stage.

300-Hour YTT: Student Contract

Student Agreement

Thank you for your participation in this Yoga Teacher Training Program. It is our intention to create the best possible environment for each participant to thrive, feel supported, and get the most out of our time together. You will be directed to click a box to acknowledge and agree to the following.

In order to receive your Diploma, you must attend all scheduled sessions, all mentor and buddy meetings, complete your required classes, turn in all homework assignments and have your tuition paid in full.

Attendance: Attendance is required for all scheduled hours in order to maintain enrollment in our Training Program and receive a certification. Any hours that you know you must miss prior to submitting your application must be disclosed in your application to be considered for pre-approval. Missed hours/days due to unforeseen emergencies may be able to be made up, subject to certain requirements. We handle these requests on an individual basis. Due to the nature of the training, even in the case of unforeseen emergencies, multiple absences and missed homework will result in an automatic, voluntary withdrawal from the training without any refund.

Missed hours: There are no refunds for missed training sessions. If it is agreed that you will make up the hours you missed due to a pre-approved reason or unexpected emergency, you will be responsible to make up the time at your own expense. Private sessions start at $175/hr for one on one sessions and are about 90min per missed topic depending on the length of the session missed and the subject covered. The number of hours to be made up and the appropriate teacher is determined by the lead teachers. You must email Vedaji for guidance on scheduling your makeup hours. Makeup sessions must be made up prior to the next training session and homework completed on time.

The following will be considered your automatic voluntary withdrawal: a) Missing any scheduled session without prior approval before the session start time b) More than one missed weekend of the training (or missing more than 2.5 days of training in total) c) Inability to makeup the training hours within the stated time frame d) Inability to complete the homework within the stated time frame Classroom Etiquette: a) No cell phone usage in the practice room or during session times. b) No eating in the practice rooms. c) No laying down during sessions. d) Always show respect to fellow students and presenters at all times: no gossip, no excessive talking, no interrupting the teacher or each other, and no negative or aggressive commentary e) Stay present to yourself & learning: no side-bar talking

There is a level of appropriate behavior that is essential and expected to maintain a sacred learning environment during our Yoga Training. In the event that there is any student whose behavior has a negative impact on the group, we will attempt to work with that student to improve the situation, but ultimately reserve the right to refuse them continuation in the program at any time. Additionally, please note that Vedaji observes a strict zero-tolerance policy for harassment, intimidation, and hostile or offensive treatment of our students, teachers, and staff.

In the event that a student voluntarily withdraws or is refused continuation of the program for any reason, there will be no refunds made and the individual will be charged the balance of their payment plan upon withdrawal/unenrollment.
