New Zealand 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, March 2020, ROTORUA
LIVE SKILLFULLY
Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Alliance 300 RYT Certificate
This New Zealand 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training March 2020 Rotorua is for those who have completed a RYT200 training and are ready to immerse into a stronger experiential and learning curve.
A 200 hour training is about learning to be comfortable in the role of the teacher, and knowing how to intelligently construct a class useful to your students, and to instruct that class safely. In a 300 hour training we step off from that basis and begin to explore further. There is no end to that exploration.
ARE YOU READY ?!
If you feel that you are ready to take that next step and become a RYT500 certified yoga teacher, then this course is for you!
Join Asia Pacific Yoga on our New Zealand 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training March 2020 Rotorua from 2 - 28 March in the fabulous Rotorua, the Geothermal capital of New Zealand.
An advanced training is not about more complexity. It is about more clarity.
Yoga practices cleanse and restore balance to all our systems. By cultivating more subtle awareness and experiencing stronger practices, we consolidate and see the profoundness and the simplicity of these practices.

Student Testimonials
“This 3 week yoga 200hour course was honestly the best 3 weeks learning I have ever had!!! The course, location and instructors were incredible.
From the very first day we were welcomed in to the lovely yoga home and had welcome ceremony’s and a really lovely introduction. The course was Very intensive but full of variety. Every day we focused on different topics and ideas around yoga, anatomy, pranayama, meditation and philosophy. We taught yoga right away but in a controlled and progressive manner which promoted a safe and comfortable learning environment to excel in.
We had the chance to visit a waterfall for some ‘ nature as teacher’, teach a full 60 mins and team teach a public class. On top of this there is the lovely Piha beach to walk down to which was stunning.
I have come out of the yoga course with knowledge, deeper understanding, skills and a complete passion for yoga. I feel extremely confident and ready to go out and share with people what I have learnt.”
“I just completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Steve and Joleen. I had no idea what I was getting into and got so much more than I imagined. They are so welcoming and accommodating and the house in Piha was lovely.
They made the course absolutely fascinating. The lectures were brilliant, Steve has such a captivating manner and really listens to your feedback and questions making each day an amazing journey. Joleen is so dedicated to her practice and does such great demonstrations of each asana that filled with such inspiration it has made me so interested in learning more and more.
I can not recommend this course enough!
I got what I wanted and so much more and am extremely confident and excited about my own teaching journey.
Thank you guys!”
