TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR EVOLUTION AS A YOGA TEACHER!
Once a student has completed the Agama 200-hour teacher training course, he or she is eligible for the next challenge! We offer all of our 200 HR Yoga teachers the opportunity to upgrade to our 500-hour teacher training course. The 7-week long 300 HR TTC is the second part of the Agama 500 HR course.
The 500 HR Agama Teacher Training Course (ATTC) prepares you to teach at Agama’s headquarters in Koh Phangan, Thailand, teach at any Agama Yoga branch worldwide, open your own Agama branch, or teach the Agama curriculum at your own studio.
You can only become a fully certified Agama Yoga Teacher after successfully completing the 500 HR ATTC. This certification allows you, directly after graduation, to teach the first three levels of the Agama Program and then to continue your advancement as an Agama Yoga Teacher, gradually receiving the empowerment to teach higher levels, workshops, retreats etc.
As a graduate of this 300-hour program you may join our ever-growing Agama teaching family.
Supporting you throughout the seven-week course is an inspiring team of Agama yogis. You will have lectures from the founder of the school - Swami Vivekananda Saraswati - and the opportunity to study with Agama’s most advanced instructors. The complete Agama teaching team is here to support you in your process of evolution, to answer questions, and to hold space on a psychological and emotional level.
