What to Expect in a 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Europe
What to Expect in a 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Europe
If you’ve already completed your 200-hour teacher training and feel the call to go deeper, a 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training (YTT) is your next step. It’s where you refine your teaching voice, expand your knowledge, and step toward becoming an RYT-500 yoga teacher.
But what does a 300-hour course really look like? What will you study? And, perhaps most importantly, where is the best place in Europe to do it?
This guide will walk you through the daily schedule, curriculum, and unique benefits of a 300-hour YTT, using our own program in Germany’s Eifel National Park as an inspiring example.
Why Choose Europe for Your 300-Hour YTT?
When most people think of yoga teacher trainings, they picture India or Bali. But more and more students are choosing Europe because it offers:
- Shorter travel from North America and within the EU
- Safe, organized infrastructure and healthcare
- Schengen access (visa-free for many Western passports under 90 days)
- Beautiful landscapes without long flights or jet lag
And among European destinations, Germany has quietly become a favorite.
Why Germany Is a Hidden Gem
Our trainings are held in Heimbach, a historic town at the edge of Eifel National Park. This setting is more than just beautiful and it shapes the whole training experience.
- The forests are so quiet that during meditation, you can hear not only your own breath but even the gentle breathing of your neighbor.
- The park offers endless trails for trekking, riverside walks, and stargazing in one of Europe’s few dark-sky regions.
- On rest days, you can visit Heimbach Castle, explore monasteries, or enjoy the peaceful shores of Rursee Lake.
It’s the perfect environment for advanced study: serene, grounding, and deeply supportive of inner work.

Here is what a typical day looks like in our program:

This rhythm balances personal practice, intellectual study, and teaching application. By the time you leave, you feel prepared to teach confidently at an advanced level.
The Curriculum: What You’ll Learn
A good 300-hour YTT is not just “more hours” — it’s a deeper exploration. Our program includes:
- Ashtanga Vinyasa (Mysore style) – disciplined, breath-led practice
- Advanced asanas & arm balancing – crow, side crow, handstand progressions, strength and mobility training
- Chakra meditation – guided relaxation and subtle body awareness
- Philosophy & scriptures – Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga texts, and their relevance today
- Pranayama & meditation – daily breathwork, practical methods for teaching others
- Anatomy & physiology – joint safety, spinal health, nervous system and breathwork, injury prevention
- Teaching methodology – sequencing, theming, adjustments, and class design for all levels
- Professional skills – ethics, inclusivity, cultural respect, and sustainable career planning
The goal is simple: you don’t just study yoga. You live it, teach it, and embody it.
Voices From Our Students
“The 300 hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Germany with Sandeep and Katharina has been one of the most powerful and transformative experiences of my Yoga journey.
The program is rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa and gave me a strong foundation to master arm balancing and advanced transitions. Sandeep’s wisdom in philosophy and traditional practice, combined with Katharina’s supportive and precise teaching style, created the perfect balance of tradition and modern application.
I also loved the in-depth study of Yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, and meditation. Training in a small group setting created a warm, international community where I felt safe to grow and expand as both a student and a teacher.
For anyone looking for a 300h Yoga Teacher Training in Germany, especially if you want to deepen your Ashtanga Vinyasa and arm balancing practice, I wholeheartedly recommend Anandam Yoga School with Sandeep and Katharina.” – Garima Kumyal
“The 300-hour YTTC was well-structured with great supporting materials to take away. The asana practice was challenging but supported with playfulness and encouragement. Sandeep offered an authentic and disciplined practice with an enthusiasm that was contagious. Katharina provided the best anatomy course that I have done – methodical, accessible, and tailored to support yoga teaching and the students’ experience and interests.” – Kate Purcell
Food, Accommodation & Community
Yoga is not just on the mat, it’s also how you nourish yourself and connect with others.
- Meals are freshly prepared, seasonal and vegetarian, cooked with love to support focus and clarity.
- Accommodation is comfortable and peaceful, right in the middle of nature.
- Groups are intentionally small, creating a family-like atmosphere where everyone supports each other.
Many students say the food and community are as special as the classes themselves.

- Forest treks through the Eifel National Park
- Swimming or lakeside relaxation at Rursee (seasonal)
