300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training Program in Austin, 2027

Elevate & Embody
300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training 
Weekends 8:30am-6pm
Monday Nights 5:30-8:30pm

Beyond the basics. Beyond one methodology. Great teachers never stop learning.

Elevate & Embody is Black Swan Yoga's advanced teacher training program, designed to cultivate lifelong learners and thoughtful leaders who approach their practice and teaching with curiosity, confidence, and a willingness to evolve.

Through specialized weekend intensives, interactive teaching labs, and focused online learning, you'll study with experienced faculty across a wide range of disciplines, from anatomy and somatics to sound, sequencing, philosophy, and nervous system regulation.

Rather than following a single teaching methodology, you'll explore different perspectives, challenge assumptions, and develop the discernment to make informed choices in your teaching. We believe leadership begins with a willingness to listen, remain curious, and recognize that there is always more to learn.

Each module combines thoughtful education with practical application, giving you tools you can bring directly into your classes. Throughout the program, we emphasize accessible, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive approaches that honor the individuality of every student.

Whether you're looking to develop a specialty, strengthen your teaching foundation, or grow as a mentor and leader within your community, Elevate & Embody offers space to keep learning and evolving.

How Does the Program Work?

Your education. Your schedule. Your path.

Elevate & Embody is designed to accommodate working teachers and busy lives. Our modular format allows you to choose the subjects that interest you and build your education over time.

Weekend Intensives

Most weekend modules offer up to 20 hours of immersive education, typically held Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 AM–6 PM, with additional learning activities as applicable. Each intensive explores a specialized area of yoga through discussion, experiential learning, and practical application.

Monday Learning Tracks

Offered quarterly+, these focused learning experiences complement our weekend modules and create additional opportunities to explore yoga philosophy, functional movement, teaching skills, and the business of yoga.

Tracks may be offered online or in person, depending on the subject.

Specialty Trainings & Retreats

Additional immersive experiences, including sound training, Katonah Yoga, and our Sound Alchemy Retreat, offer opportunities to explore specialized practices and expand your teaching toolkit.

Modules can be taken individually for continuing education or combined as part of the full 300-hour advanced training program, subject to applicable program requirements.

How Long Will It Take to Graduate?

Elevate & Embody offers a flexible pathway toward completing 300 hours of advanced yoga education.

Our planned curriculum includes:

• 270 hours of qualifying training, selected from scheduled modules, learning tracks, and specialty experiences in accordance with program requirements.

• 30 hours of Seva & Mentorship, incorporating guided learning, personal development, community engagement, and opportunities to integrate what you've learned.

Graduation requires completion of the approved curriculum and all applicable instructional, assessment, and practicum requirements.

With a variety of training opportunities offered throughout the year, you can create a learning path that reflects your interests, availability, and professional goals.

You don't have to complete everything in one year. Lifelong learning isn't confined to a calendar, and your education can evolve alongside your teaching.
