Is It Time to Deepen Your Yoga Practice—or Teach on a New Level?

For many yoga practitioners, there comes a moment when the desire to go deeper becomes undeniable. Maybe the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training was years ago. Maybe teaching has started to feel routine. Or maybe there’s a calling—not to start over, but to evolve.

That’s what Lauren Leduc explores in this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice—the difference an advanced 300-hour training can make, and how it helps seasoned teachers reconnect with their purpose, build confidence, and step into true leadership.

Why an Advanced Training?

When Lauren completed her 200-hour training in the jungles of Costa Rica back in 2013, she knew her life had changed. It gave her the framework she’d been craving for a more intentional, purposeful, and healthy life. Years later, when her own students began asking if she would ever lead a teacher training, Lauren knew she wanted to—but also knew she wasn’t quite ready.

That internal nudge led her to pursue a 300-hour Advanced YTT. Unlike the 200-hour, which equips new teachers with a strong foundation, the 300-hour is a choice to immerse yourself again—this time with experience, wisdom, and a desire to refine your practice and offerings.

What Makes a 300-Hour YTT Different?

An advanced yoga teacher training is for those who already hold a 200-hour certification and want to take things further. Not because they have to—but because they want to.

While a 200-hour training teaches what to teach, a 300-hour training helps refine how and why you teach. It moves you toward mastery, offering:

  • Advanced asana and sequencing

  • Deeper anatomy and energetic awareness

  • Philosophical integration and subtle body work

  • Business development rooted in ethics and purpose

  • Personal mentorship and peer collaboration

  • Opportunities to grow your teaching into retreats, series, workshops, or leadership roles

It’s a shift from teaching classes to guiding transformation—and from being a yoga teacher to becoming a yoga leader.

Who Is It For?

Lauren’s upcoming 300-hour training at True Love Yoga is for teachers who want to elevate. You might be a perfect fit if:

  • You’ve been teaching consistently but feel ready for something more

  • You want to refine your voice, sequencing, or ability to read energy

  • You’re craving community with other passionate, experienced teachers

  • You feel pulled to create offerings like retreats, series, or trainings

  • You want to expand your yoga business with integrity and vision

  • You’re ready to deepen into yoga as a lifestyle and legacy—not just a profession

A Yearlong Journey Toward Mastery

Launching in January 2026, the True Love Yoga 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is a hybrid experience that blends deep, chakra-based curriculum with immersive community learning. The training includes:

  • Three 3-month modules, with integration breaks in between

  • In-person Sunday immersions (or fully online participation)

  • Self-paced learning via Teachable

  • 1-on-1 mentorship and check-ins with Lauren

  • Advanced practice teaching and feedback

  • Retreat and workshop planning guidance

  • Applied yoga philosophy and subtle energetics

  • Certification through Yoga Alliance (RYT-500)

The training is intentionally designed to nourish the teacher, reconnect with purpose, and help shape the future of yoga through inclusive, ethical leadership.
