Yogamaya’s Advanced 300hr Training program brings you on board to the movement and yoga revolution by gathering subject matter experts who share a common philosophy grounded in decades of teaching experience, the latest movement research & conversations, a love for yoga and movement and a desire to level-up the yoga teachers everywhere.
This training is comprehensive and cohesive and will hold a through-line of movement optimism (and why), movement variability (why and how), pose adaptations (because we’re all different), inquiry and exploration. You will learn principles of seeing people and bodies and develop your skills to respond and adapt to what you see and hear from your students & clients. Upon completion, you will be able to register as a 500-hr RYT with Yoga Alliance. FAQS >

LEARN MORE 300HR
This is a comprehensive 300hr Teacher Training designed to level-up your teaching skills in a meaningful way. The program is open to all 200hr Trained Teachers from any background of study who want to grow as a teacher, be in a community with other teachers, and want to geek out a little.
The content is grounded in helping you become excellent, effective, confident, and open-minded teachers for both groups and individuals by developing your ability to see, experience, articulate, and adapt movement and poses for your students and in your own practice. It will also include strategies for teaching with cultural awareness, trauma & nervous system regulation and a social justice module to be done outside the training.
This training is geared towards teachers who are actively teaching. If you were just starting your teaching pre-Covid and got derailed, did an online training during Covid, or feel like you need more training and practice before you can really get out there and teach, we offer a 30hr Yoga BootCamp to sharpen your teaching skills and get back into the flow and rhythm of teaching. Please email Bryn@yogamayanewyork.com for info.

Aimee Meredith Cox is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and African American Studies at Yale University. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of Anthropology, Black Studies, and Performance Studies.
Cox’s first monograph, Shapeshifters: Black Girls and the Choreography of Citizenship (Duke 2015), won the 2017 book award from the Society for the Anthropology of North America, a 2016 Victor Turner Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing, and Honorable Mention from the 2016 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Book Prize.
She is also the editor of the volume, Gender: Space (MacMillan, 2018). Aimee is a dancer and choreographer. She performed and toured internationally with Ailey II and the Dance Theatre of Harlem and has choreographed performances as interventions in public and private space in Newark, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn.
Her most recent work, based on interviews with long time activists in Cincinnati, engaged hundreds of residents in a performance ritual as part of her research for her second book on Black liberation, Living Past Slow Death.
An accomplished yogi who teaches master classes internationally, Aimee has led several yoga retreats and teacher trainings. Her experience in this realm is the basis for an ethnographic exploration of the intersection of race, what she calls, ‘spiritual theater’, and performances of healing and recovery within the context of rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn.
