300-Hour Teacher Training & Continuing Education

A Supplementary Yoga Training

Styles Yoga offers supplementary yoga teacher training modules that will take your teachings and personal practice to the next level.

You’ll enjoy daily meditations, yoga practices, and workshops during each module.

Each module is led by Aaron Styles (E-RYT 500), founder of Styles Yoga.

You must complete a 200hr level training or foundational training prior to starting any module.

Complete any four modules to receive a 300-hour certificate. Already have a 300-hour certification? No problem! We still invite you to come learn. Take any module that interests you as a way to further your education and experience. Yoga Alliance CEU credits are available.

This training is open to yoga instructors of all levels and does not require an “advanced” asana practice.
