Welcome to the North Carolina School of Yoga's 300 hour Teacher Training Program page. Our 300 hour course is an exploration and study of the full science of yoga, encompassing the eight limbs and nine forms of Yoga. Designed for both aspiring and current teachers as well as though who simply wish to deepen their own personal practice, our intention is to share the joy of the spirit of Yoga with you while providing the most systematic and comprehensive course in traditional Yoga.
Our 300 hour Teacher Training course is a profound and intense opportunity for personal development--physically, mentally and spiritually--following the guidance and precepts of the science of Yoga. The 300 hour program is a comprehensive, classical training course and includes all traditional components of Yoga including Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathings), Meditation, Purification, Sequencing, Yogic Nutrition, Mantra, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, Props, Conditions and Injuries, Energetic Anatomy, Philosophy and Ethics, Scriptural Study and above all, Yama and Niyama, without which there will be no success in Yoga.

The study of Yoga is the study of Self and your life will be changed forever as the miraculous and ancient teachings of Yoga come to life with the deepening of your own practice. Yoga is a life of self-discipline. As Yoga purifies, strengthens and balances the body and mind, the practitioner develops supreme health, self control and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Students come from all over the world to attend our training courses, and we have certified students from all over the United States as well as England, Prague, Italy, France, Australia, Liberia, Germany, Latvia, Israel, and Vietnam. We do not teach ‘styles’ of Yoga, but the authentic and pure teachings of classical Yoga, meditation and purification that serve as a stairway to bliss, promoting harmony within all layers of the body, mind and soul so an integrated state of radiant health is achieved.
