Carolina Yoga x Comfort Zone Yoga 300/500YTT

Become the teacher your students remember

A modular, mentored 300-hour yoga teacher training designed to deepen your confidence, refine your teaching voice, and help you hold space with true presence.

You finished your 200-hour training with a mix of excitement and overwhelm. You’ve taught some classes, tried on different voices, maybe even found your rhythm. But a quiet voice has started whispering:

What’s next?

This isn’t just about hours. It’s about stepping fully into your teaching identity—with confidence, clarity, and the ability to hold space not just for poses, but for people.

If you’re craving depth, mentorship, and a path to advanced certification that honors your individuality, you’re in the right place.

Most yoga teachers leave their 200-hour feeling underprepared.

You might be second-guessing your sequences. Unsure how to work with diverse bodies. Wanting to speak to the room in front of you but still clinging to your notes. Maybe you even feel a little isolated in your growth—like everyone else “gets it” and you’re still figuring it out.

You’re not alone. And you’re not behind.

What you need isn’t more rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions. You need support. Depth. Integration.

The Carrboro Yoga Company 300-Hour Training gives you exactly that.

This modular program is built around your real teaching life. It lets you follow your curiosity, fill in the gaps in your education, and grow your teaching toolkit without burning out or starting from scratch.

You’ll refine your voice. Deepen your knowledge. Learn to teach from experience instead of theory.

And best of all: you’ll stop asking, “Do I know enough?” and start teaching like someone who truly does.

Your 300-hour path includes:

• Modular curriculum: Choose from a wide range of weekend intensives, online courses, and specialty trainings that fit your interests and schedule.
• MMM mentorship (required): Mastering the Art of Yoga Sequencing is the foundation of your 300-hour journey. This six-month mentorship gives you 150 deeply supported hours to integrate everything you’re learning and apply it in real time.
• Expert faculty: Learn from Sage Rountree and a team of seasoned teachers committed to nuance, adaptability, and ethical practice.
• Flexible timeline: Complete your training at your own pace—whether that’s in a year or over several.
• Community connection: Stay inspired through live calls, mentorship check-ins, and our peer-support channels at Comfort Zone Yoga.

This is the training we wish we’d had!

• Choose-your-own curriculum so you can focus on what you need, not what someone else thinks is important.
• MMM mentorship as your anchor so you build hours and confidence simultaneously with consistent support.
• Weekend + online options so your training fits into real life (family, work, teaching, and all).
• Expert mentors who teach what they live so you’re learning from people who walk the talk.
• Integrated, not isolated structure that lets each new learning build on your past experience.

“The Carolina Yoga Company 500 hour training program offered a wide variety of relevant material and workshops. The modules equip one with the knowledge to be a better yoga teacher. The content was a nice balance of all the training areas required and helped to enhance my teaching and general knowledge. The self-paced online options as well as in-person options provided a way to learn that was most conducive to my learning style. Sage Rountree was accessible to me as I went through the program and offered guidance and support.”

—Robin Schultz-Purves, RYT500

“What a wonderful, life changing experience I received from participating in this training program! I can not begin to express the gratitude that I have for the instructors and the program. Having the extended time to complete the program gave me the flexibility to work around my schedule as well as the ability to review notes and have the time to absorb all of the important information I received.”

—Donna Garrett, RYT500
