EMERGE 300hr yoga, energy medicine & leadership training

ADVANCED MODULES AND INTENSIVES IN YOGA, BODYWORK, ENERGY MEDICINE, COACHING & LEADERSHIP

At Emerge, our journey begins with a profound realization: yoga is not an act; it’s a state of being. As you venture into the 300HR advanced program, you’ll immerse even deeper into this consciousness, embracing the harmony of body, mind, and soul. This advanced exploration transcends mastering poses; it delves into a profound understanding of the synergy between movement and breath, extending this essence beyond the mat.

Our foundational ELEVATE 200HR Yoga Teacher Training not only equips you with traditional yoga philosophies and effective teaching methodologies but immerses you in the embodied experience of yoga. This establishes a robust base for all who desire to lead, whether within the studio or beyond its confines.

Building upon this foundation, our Advanced 300HR Training amplifies personal growth and evolution. This course is specifically designed for those who have completed our 200HR program or any equivalent training elsewhere. Tailored to elevate your journey, it encompasses a range of offerings from leading transformative yoga sessions to blending yoga’s essence in diverse paths. The comprehensive guidance, one-on-one mentorship, elective modules, and deep immersive experiences assure a holistic growth trajectory.

For those keen on specific aspects or not yet ready for the full journey, select modules are available as standalone experiences, requiring no prerequisites in yoga knowledge or philosophy. This ensures that, while our full 300HR program offers a cohesive and structured experience, we remain open to all enthusiasts, irrespective of their previous engagements with yoga.

Step into our world, where yoga transcends tradition. At Emerge, we don’t just ‘do’ yoga — we ‘live’ it.

Each of our modules is thoughtfully curated, allowing you the freedom to choose based on your interests. Whether or not you aim to teach asana, you’ll find the majority of these modules deeply enriching. You’re welcome to join many of these classes even if you aren’t enrolled in the full 300HR program. And for those with an eye on certification, we’re committed to guiding you through the requirements, ensuring the program resonates with your unique passions and goals.

Who is this program for?

Our program is tailored for individuals eager to deepen their spiritual journey and ascend into leadership, sharing their profound wisdom from lived experiences.

While our advanced teaching modules necessitate a foundation of 200HR training, our curriculum stretches far beyond the confines of traditional yoga teachings. Recognizing diverse paths to enlightenment, many of our modules welcome those new to yoga, serving as concise yet enriching immersions.

For those aspiring to teach at Emerge, the Teaching Apprenticeship is essential. Beyond this cornerstone, our program offers flexibility—each module, mentorship, and immersion is elective, enabling you to curate a learning experience that resonates with your passions and fits seamlessly into your life.

If the 300HR Certification is your goal, rest assured, you'll receive personalized guidance from Vanessa to sculpt a journey that aligns with your unique aspirations.

For others, who seek enrichment rather than formal certification, feel free to select courses that pique your curiosity as they become available. At Emerge, personal growth is as simple as following your heart.

How much does the program cost?

Program Investment: The 300HR program distinguishes itself from the structured, set-time format of the 200HR course, offering a flexible, self-paced approach. Typically, individualized mentorships bear a higher cost than group workshops and intensives. Off-site immersions also necessitate an added investment, covering accommodation and meals. However, the pay-as-you-go system for each module or immersion ensures affordability. Additionally, we offer convenient payment plans to accommodate diverse financial needs.

K
L
How long will the program take me to complete?

The completion time truly rests in your hands. Naturally, the more courses, immersions, and mentorships you undertake, the sooner you'll complete the program. However, we deeply value the process of integration. To genuinely embody each lesson, time and application are crucial. While New York State doesn't mandate certification to teach yoga, we do emphasize sustained engagement. Long breaks without applying what you've learned may lead to a disconnect from the material. We encourage a pace that allows genuine absorption and personal embodiment of the teachings. And remember, we're always here to guide and recommend a pathway tailored to your journey.

K
L
Do I have to commit to the whole program to attend a module?

Absolutely not. While certain modules necessitate a 200HR certification for participation (like advanced asana labs), many of our in-depth modules—ranging from philosophy to energy work and somatics—don't require prior yoga training.

You're not bound to complete the entire program to partake in most of the immersions. But, if your goal is certification, rest assured, we'll assist in crafting a journey tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

We fundamentally believe that the most impactful teachers or practitioners aren't necessarily those who excelled academically or collected a myriad of certifications. Instead, it's those who truly live and breathe the lessons they impart. Our focus is to ensure this journey is personally enriching for you. By truly embodying and understanding the teachings, you naturally become a beacon for others. Our aim is to make this experience resonate deeply with you, and from there, sharing and teaching will come effortlessly.

Brittany Wall

Instructor

Brittany was introduced to yoga during her freshman year college exercise class at Quinnipiac University in 2007. However, it was not until diving into a steady Ashtanga Vinyasa practice that she truly began to fall in love with and see the benefits yoga was producing for her body and also her mind. A tap and jazz dancer of 18 years and former dance instructor at Ella Marie School of Dance, Brittany instantly took to the fluidity of the postures and challenges on the mat. In 2013, she decided to seize the opportunity and enroll in the 200-hr teacher training program at Emerge Yoga and Wellness in Bellmore, NY. Through a close mentorship with Vanessa Cafiero as well continuing her education in 300-hr teacher training, Brittany sharpened her skills, allowing her to bring her own personal style and creativity to her sequencing. Inspired by Ashtanga and Forrest teachings, Brittany teaches an uplifting vinyasa flow with a big emphasis on connecting to the breath, your inner power. Her knowledge of contemporary movement combined with her passion for uplifting spirited music interweave to create a unique and high- spirited experience that will elevate your practice. Certifications: Emerge 200HR RYT, Emerge 300HR RYT, AntiGravity Fundamentals 1&2, AntiGravity Kids 1&2, AntiGravity Restorative, AntiGravity Pilates, Reiki 1

Samara Olivera

Studio Director + Instructor

When Samara first started practicing Yoga her mom said something that stuck with her forever: “I’ve never seen you like anything physical.” She was never into fitness or exercising and definitely never went to a gym. Though the practice of Yoga seemed physical on the outside, she realized she enjoyed it so much because of the mental strength that she gained from the practice. Teaching Yoga became a way for Samara to continue to expand her practice and to share with others the amazing benefits she continues to receive every single day.Certifications: Emerge 200HR RYT, Emerge 300HR RYT, AntiGravity Fundamentals 1&2, Reiki Level 1 & 2
