300-HR ONLINE TEACHER TRAINING

WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP CAN MEAN FOR YOU

As yoga teachers and studio owners, we work hard to make a viable income doing what we so passionately love, and it's not easy. Becoming a Partner can create a new annual revenue stream for you and your business – money that can be used to purchase new props, make studio improvements, increase teacher pay, or simply help you keep up with operational costs.

Furthermore, we've all witnessed how life-changing teacher trainings can be. In trainings, people connect more deeply to themselves, they are challenged, they learn and grow and they often make friendships that last a lifetime. Additionally, promoting an advanced teacher training to your current staff of teachers can reconnect them with their intention, improve their skills and re-inspire them to show up for students to the best of their ability. Becoming a Partner means you can make a holistic impact on your business, staff and community for years to come.  

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

TESTIMONIALS

While your personal testimonial and endorsement will have the strongest impact with you community, it can be helpful to share a few others. 

"Mark, thank you for making me a more confident, independent and organized teacher. Both yourself and Michelle have been available and accessible through the whole 300hr journey and that felt invaluable. What’s even better is that I was able to learn from my home in the UK. Studying with Mark would have otherwise been inaccessible for me, so I feel truly lucky. I’ve met and made friends with other incredible teachers who I will be in touch with forever more. I’m now off to share, flow and radiate into the world." - Becky Duncan, UK.

"I cannot express in words how much I have benefitted from Mark's deep knowledge of all aspects of yoga and his straightforward teaching. For those who have read - and loved - Mark's books on teaching yoga, his training offers the unique opportunity to work with him directly and benefit from much more than what can be written between two book covers. Be prepared to work hard - it's worth every minute of your time!" - Katharina Blansjaar, Switzerland

"I highly recommend Mark's advanced teacher training program to experienced teachers who are serious about evolving their craft. Mark is remarkably knowledgeable and very generous in terms of his mentorship. The program requirements are rigorous but entirely achievable. This is a five star program." - Emily Lucietto, USA

"Doing my 300-Hr teacher training with Mark Stephens was one of the best decisions I've ever made. His vast knowledge about yoga and anatomy combined with his many years of experience teaching yoga and training teachers are a huge asset for anyone who is serious on the path of teaching yoga." - Fabio Giaccone, Germany

• Why Study Online with Mark Stephens:
   
  
  • FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE + BALANCE: Not everyone can take time off work (or from other responsibilities) to advance their learning and deepen their studies. If you're juggling multiple commitments and responsibilities, the flexibility of online learning offers you an opportunity to study when it works best for your unique schedule. In lieu of taking time off work or missing family dinners, you can log-in and learn when it’s convenient for you, making it easier to balance all that you do and love in life.
    
    
  • PLAYBACK CONTROL + SELF-PACED LEARNING: Unlike in-person trainings, online learning allows you to pause, rewind, re-watch and even slow the speed of video lectures and classes. This playback control helps to ensure you don’t miss any critical information being presented when you need to pause to take notes, do additional research or contemplate an idea. Those who don’t speak English as their native language especially find value in slowing down the video speed to help with translation. Plus, you can re-watch the videos repeatedly to make sure you fully understand the material before moving onto the next topic. This added control allows you to work through the material at your own pace and get the most out of your learning experience.
    
    
  • STUDY FROM ANYWHERE + GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: Traveling for in-person trainings can present many challenges, including an added cost and time commitment, that prevent teachers from being able to study with Mark. Online learning means you can train with Mark from anywhere in the world, without the need to travel and from the convenience of your own home. Plus, online learning attracts a wide range from participants from all over the world which lends itself to a deeper, global perspective that enhances the learning experience during live group sessions on Zoom.
    
    
  • MORE ACCESS + TIME FOR INTEGRATION: For most people, learning requires repetition, but in-person trainings are live which means you can’t “rewatch” the material or access it again. With online learning, you can watch the video lectures and classes as many times as you like during your time of access (one full year). Not only does this improve your ability to learn the material, it also provides ample time for integration of the information; you have time to go out and apply the teachings, methods and theories in your classes and then revisit the material or ideas that didn’t make sense during application or that you didn’t fully grasp.
