Advanced 500 Hour

Semperviva Advanced Yoga Teacher Training (AYTT)
for 500 Hour Certification

Are you ready to elevate your teaching to a higher level? Transform your teaching by registering for any of our Advanced Yoga Teacher Training modules. Study Yin Yoga, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Pre and Post Natal, Kids or Restorative Yoga in addition to a selection of modules on philosophy and meditation, advanced asana, anatomy, Ayurveda, or hands on adjustments.

Semperviva’s AYTT is a comprehensive modular system that allows you to continue your Yoga Teacher Training as your time and financial resources allow.

To apply for the AYTT course, a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate that meets Yoga Alliance standards is required. Semperviva Yoga welcomes graduates from all Yoga Alliance Registered 200 hour trainings into our 500 hour program. Successful completion of 300 hours of AYTT modules will certify you as a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher as recognized by Yoga Alliance.

How the AYTT program works

Students wanting to apply for 500 Hour Yoga Alliance certification must register into Semperviva’s Advanced Yoga Teacher Training program, and then are free to complete the course at their own pace. The entire AYTT can be completed over a period of two months to five years maximum. Students can choose which qualifying Semperviva courses to take to complete their additional 300 hours of training. The course consists of a minimum of 270 contact hours. In order to graduate, 10 of the 270 contact hours are required to be Anatomy. This is included in the Yin, Prenatal, and Kids Teacher Trainings or can be achieved through specific anatomy courses totalling 10 hours.

Once all yoga teacher training modules have been successfully completed, in addition to all homework assignments and exams, the student will be eligible to receive their 500 hour Yoga Teaching Certificate.

(Please note for 500 hour certification, Yoga Alliance requires 200 hour certification, plus 300 hours of advanced training from ONE school. Semperviva Teacher Training programs are currently available in Vancouver, Galiano Island, Costa Rica and Greece. More locations coming soon.)
