Last reviewed June 2026 by Lori Lowell, E-RYT 500, YACEP · Director, Drishti Beats School of Yoga
This training deepens your teaching and prepares you to guide advanced practice. It is educational, and it is not a substitute for medical care or physical therapy, for you or for the students you teach. Completing the 300 hours, together with a 200-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance registered school, makes you eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT‑500, a step you complete yourself after you finish. If your 200-hour training is not registered with Yoga Alliance, or you have not completed one, you still earn the Drishti Beats 300-hour certificate, though you may not be able to register. Teaching at this level is a real responsibility, and we treat it that way throughout the training.
Welcome to the next chapter of your teaching.
This is the 300-hour advanced training, the next step for teachers who already hold a 200-hour certificate. Complete it, and together your 200 and 300 hours become the RYT‑500, the most advanced level of registration Yoga Alliance offers.
The foundation taught you how to teach. This is where your teaching deepens. You will refine your sequencing across styles, study the classical texts that sit beneath the practice, and learn the subtle body as something you can feel and not only name. You will move past technique and begin to sense the energy behind your words, your pace, and your presence. You will do this at your own pace, from wherever you are, and you will not do it alone.
This training is for teachers ready to go deeper, whether you finished your first 200 hours last month or years ago. Whether you trained with us or with another school, in any style, you are welcome here. You do not need to have mastered every posture. You need a real desire to refine your craft, and the willingness to keep showing up.
When you are ready, begin again.
We go deeper.
You already know these seven areas. This is where each one goes deeper. Yoga Alliance sets the advanced standard; we teach past it, the way we always have, and nothing here simply repeats your foundation. It builds on it.
Technique, Training & Practice
Asana at the advanced edge. You refine the postures you already know and take on harder ones, working with modifications, variations, and props so the shape serves the student in front of you. You practice across styles here, from strong Vinyasa to Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra, and you deepen pranayama and meditation until they are steady in you. Your own practice matures first, because that is still what you teach from.
Teaching Methodology
Sequencing an advanced class, and leading it with presence. You already have a voice, so here you sharpen it. You learn to build longer, more intelligent arcs, to theme a class so it carries meaning, and to read a room and adjust in the moment. You refine how you demonstrate, observe, assist, and correct, and how you teach to the way each person in front of you actually learns.
Anatomy & Physiology
The body in more detail, and closer to the joint. You study the muscular and skeletal systems in depth, and why bodies differ, so you work with compression, tension, and proportion instead of forcing everyone toward one shape. You learn the therapeutic side, how to meet an injury and offer modifications that keep a student safe. Keeping people safe is still the first job of a teacher, and here you get more precise about it.
Philosophy, Lifestyle & Ethics
The texts, read more closely. You move past the survey into the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yamas and Niyamas, and into the subtle body in earnest, the nadis, the chakras, prana, and the vayus. You work with mantra and mudra, and keep the journal that turns study inward. Ethics here means the harder questions an experienced teacher meets, the ones without a clean answer.
Practicum
You teach, and you are seen, at a higher bar. You lead advanced sequences on live calls and learn the art of hands-on assisting, including how to work with injuries and special populations. Detailed mentor feedback is saved to your account for as long as you teach. This is the part most online trainings skip. It is the part that keeps making you better.
The Business of Yoga
How to build a career, not just a class. Studio space and online alike, from a brand that sounds like you to marketing, retreats, and the ethics of running a business well. Taught by people who have built real studios and taught this online for years, not theorized about it.
Music & Sound
Sound is part of how a class is felt, not background to it. Here you go further into it, working with singing bowls, solfeggio tones, and the original music we produce for our own trainings, and learning to score a class so breath, movement, and sound move as one. This is ours alone, and you will not find it in a standard syllabus.
Is this training for you?
We would rather you know before you enrol than discover it three weeks in. So here is the honest version, both sides of it.
This is for you if
- You already hold a 200-hour certificate, and you are ready to go deeper rather than begin again from scratch.
- You are teaching now, or about to be, and you want your craft to catch up to your intention.
- You want to teach more than one style, from Yin and Restorative to Yoga Nidra and themed classes, not only strong Vinyasa.
- You are still willing to be seen teaching and to take honest feedback, experience and all.
- You are working toward your RYT 500, or you simply want the depth. Either reason is enough.
This is not for you if
- You have not completed a 200-hour training and your goal is to start teaching. Begin with a 200-hour foundation; this is the step after it.
- You want the RYT 500 as fast and as quietly as possible, with no one watching your teaching.
- You are not ready to record yourself teaching and take honest feedback, even with experience behind you.
- You expect advanced to mean harder postures and little else. The depth here is philosophy, subtle body, and craft as much as asana.
- You want a fixed weekly schedule with set class times. Ours is self-paced by design.
Self-paced but never alone.
The whole curriculum is yours on demand, to move through at your own pace. What you do not do is disappear into it. There is always a call to join, a mentor who knows your name, and a global community that does not close.
Most online trainings hand you videos and leave. The lectures and masterclasses here are available 24/7, so you study when it suits your life. But the part that makes you a better teacher is the part where someone is paying attention, and that runs through every week of the training.
While you train, you are held four ways.
Weekly Gather Round calls
Every Thursday we gather live. Some weeks we flow together, some weeks we meditate, some weeks we talk philosophy or a student teaches. These are not classes. They are conversations, and they are your standing reminder that you are walking this path alongside real people.
One-on-one mentor sessions
Time set aside for you and a mentor alone, for personal feedback and guidance. You ask what you need to ask, and you are met where you are.
Live web chat
A chat service is built into the platform, and a real person answers. We believe yoga is human connection, so when you reach out, you reach us, not a bot.
The Drishti Sangha
Our private, global community, open to every student and graduate across all our trainings. It is where you introduce yourself, ask your questions, and find a dozen others who felt exactly what you are feeling. It does not close between Thursdays. Step inside the Sangha.
Two Gather Round calls, every Thursday, so wherever you are in the world one of them is yours.
Thursday · Midday · 12 PM EST
- New York · Thu 12 PM
- Los Angeles · Thu 9 AM
- London · Thu 5 PM
- Sydney · Fri 4 AM
Thursday · Evening · 7 PM EST
- New York · Thu 7 PM
- Los Angeles · Thu 4 PM
- London · Fri 12 AM
- Sydney · Fri 11 AM
Times shown are for US standard time and shift by an hour or two around daylight saving. Your dashboard always shows the next call in your own timezone.
The Gather Round calls stay open to graduates. The Sangha stays yours. The mentors stay reachable. The relationship was never built to end at the certificate, because a community that disappears the moment you finish was never really a community.
It also moves off the screen. We host immersive retreats in beautiful places, from Bali to Colorado to Europe, where students and teachers finally meet face to face, practice together, and celebrate in flow. You will find us performing live at festivals, bringing yoga and original music to the same stage. These are the moments people remember for years, and you are invited to them as part of this family, long after your training is done.
Not only did I feel like part of the family during my course, but since graduating, I have been in contact with the team and feel connected with them more than ever.
Meet the family.
You are not enrolling in a platform. You are studying with people who have taught this work for more than twenty-five years. On the calls, in the feedback, and in the community the whole way through.
Lead Trainers
Lori LowellLead Trainer · E-RYT 500 · YACEP
Lori is the lead teacher and curriculum voice of Drishti Beats, and a Yoga Alliance school Director. She has spent over twenty-five years teaching yoga, and every lecture, every flow, and every word of feedback in this training carries her voice. She built the way we teach here, where Sanskrit unfolds gently, where you grow from teacher to artist, and where perfection is never the goal. When you record a flow, hers is the response you will read. She believes teaching is learned by doing, and she will meet you exactly where you are.
Jeremy LowellLead Trainer · E-RYT 500 · Co-Founder
Jeremy is co-founder of Drishti Beats and Lori's husband of thirty-nine years. He is the reason this training sounds the way it does. Every piece of music you hear was originally composed in-house, written to guide breath, emotion, and rhythm, because we believe yoga and music are one creative language. Jeremy also built the platform you will learn on, designed from 2018 to connect students and mentors in real time. He brings the music, the art, and the steady hand behind everything that makes this school feel like a family rather than a course.
Your Teaching Team
What holds this school together is simple. It is a family. Three of your teachers grew up, or grew into, the same practice and the same music, and they meet you at specific points along the journey, in the masterclasses, in the practice of every chapter, and in the workshops that go deeper.
Ariel LowellE-RYT 500 · Masterclasses
Ariel leads the masterclasses — the deeper-dive sessions that sit alongside the core curriculum. When a subject calls for a teacher who lives inside it, Ariel is the voice that takes you further than the syllabus alone can, and shows you what mastery of a single practice looks like. She is Lori and Jeremy's daughter. She did not find this practice. She was raised inside it.
Alysia LowellE-RYT 500 · Practice & Workshops
Alysia is with you in the doing. She leads the practical practice in every chapter, where knowledge becomes movement in your own body, and she teaches both 200h and 300h masterclasses as well. She also guides the workshops that go deeper still: yin, restorative, and inversions, each one an invitation to slow down, open, or turn upside down under a teacher who has been there many times before. Alysia married into this family, and into its music and its practice. It is home to her now.
Asaf B. GoldfridE-RYT 500 · Platform Architect
Asaf appears throughout the training rather than in one place. As Platform Architect he also built and tends the experience you learn inside, so the technology stays quiet and the practice stays in front. He is the through-line who keeps the whole path connected, so there is always a familiar voice walking beside you.

Questions before you enrol
The honest answers, so you can decide with a clear head.
- Is this training Yoga Alliance certified?
- Yes. Drishti Beats is a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance. When you complete the 300 hours, together with a 200-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance registered school, you register as an RYT 500, the most advanced level of registration.
- Is it fully self-paced, and how long do I have?
- It is self-paced. You move at your own rhythm, and most students finish within about six months. There is no schedule to keep up with, and no one rushing you.
- Does my access ever expire?
- No. There is no clock, and no expiration date. When you enrol, the training is yours to keep, and you can return to any lecture for the rest of your life. When we refine or add to the curriculum, those updates come to you too, at no extra cost. You are not renting a course. You are keeping a body of work that grows with you.
- Do I need a 200-hour certificate first?
- To register as an RYT 500 at the end, you need a 200-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance registered school, in any style. If your 200-hour is from a school that is not registered, or you have not done one yet, you are still welcome. You will earn the Drishti Beats 300-hour certificate, though you may not be able to register with Yoga Alliance. Some teaching behind you helps, but it is not required.
- What do I need to take part?
- Not much. A mat, room to move, and a way to record yourself so your mentors can see you teach. A few props help for the Yin and Restorative work, like a bolster, blocks, and a strap, but you can begin with what you have.
- How does feedback actually work?
- You record yourself teaching and submit your flows, and your mentors respond to you personally. At this level the feedback goes deeper, into sequencing, refinement, and the voice that is becoming yours. You are seen and answered, not just graded.
- What are the live calls?
- Weekly Gather Round calls with the group, plus one-on-one mentor sessions and live web chat when you need it. You are held four ways while you train.
- Do I stay part of the community after I finish?
- Yes, for life. Your place in the Drishti Sangha does not end when your training does. The private community stays open to you, so you keep the people, the practice, and the support long after your certificate is issued. You do not graduate away from us. You graduate into us.
- What does it cost, and is there a payment plan?
- $594 in one payment, or six payments of $99, the same total. Our pricing is flat and honest, with no fake discounts or countdowns.
- What if it is not right for me?
- Begin the training, and if it is not your path, request a full refund within seven days of registration. No forms to argue with.
