Prema Advanced Studies
A 10-Month Graduate Program for Yoga Teachers
For over a decade, our 200-Hour Teacher Training has been one of the cornerstones of Prema, introducing hundreds of students to the practice of teaching and launching countless teaching journeys.
As we look ahead to 2027, we're excited to evolve that vision.
Rather than offering another traditional teacher training, we're creating a graduate program designed to support teachers long after their first 200 hours (think 300 hours but with less obsession with the hours part :) )
At the heart of this next chapter is Prema Advanced Studies, a ten-month continuing education program made up of ten immersive weekend modules.
While participants may complete the full graduate program, we also recognize that every teacher's path is unique. Some may feel called to deepen their understanding of philosophy, while others want to study prenatal yoga, restorative practices, assists, or harmonium.
For the first time, every module will also be available individually.
Join us for one weekend, several throughout the year, or commit to the entire ten-month journey. Whether you're looking to refine a specific skill or immerse yourself in the full experience, the program is designed to meet teachers where they are.
Enrollment is intentionally kept small to foster meaningful mentorship and connection.

Completion of a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training from any recognized school or program. Application acceptance.
