FAQ's

Our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is a fully immersive, in-person program, with all 200 hours completed as contact hours, including your teaching practice and final assessments.

We cap the number of participants on each course to 8 in total. This creates the most valuable learning environment in our experience, ensuring students learn how to teach in-person, online and hybrid sessions.

All lectures, asana labs and classes are recorded and will be available on student only course platform for you to catch-up if needed. We do however require 80% live attendance (in-person & online) for you to earn your certificate. This is not a self-paced online course and the use of recordings offers you the flexibility to navigate your own rhythms, cycles and responsibilities with more peace of mind.

Yes! And they have been lovingly created to serve as a teaching resource for many years to come. All manuals required are supplied by us and are included in the cost of the training.

If you are attending Online Only, you will receive a PDF version that you can print. That is why we are able to give a Online Only discount.

No, not in order to complete the course. We will however provide you with some guidance on books that might be beneficial to you as we move through the course. These recommendations are based on individual interest and support needed.

Besides the 4 teaching assessments, you will get plenty of opportunity to teach micro-lessons to help you integrate the learning from everyday. These will typically be done after learning new asanas or sequences to put into practice both the information and relevant teaching skills you learned.

Each day (Tuesday to Saturday) will begin with a 60 to 90 minute asana practice. Additionally, there will be teaching practice each day. Everyday will also have asana lab on the schedule where you will further explore postures in more detail. You will also be the students for when your peers are teaching their assessments.

Thus you can prepare for 12 to 15 hours of asana practice in a variety of styles per week.

There will be no homework assigned. However, some preparations for your weekly teaching assessments will be required.

You will be assessed through means of four teaching assessments.

At the end of  week 1 you will teach a 20 minute Hatha class, at the end of week 2 you will teach a 30 minute Vinyasa class, and at the end of week 3 you will teach a 45 minute Yin Yoga class to your fellow students. At the end of the fourth week you may choose which style of yoga you want to teach for your final 1 hour assessment. If we feel your final assessment did not really showcase what you are capable of, you may be asked to re-teach it as a way to integrate feedback.

No. While we will be offering much of the course online, this is to support our students who might miss a class or two or wish to revisit material, but we don't feel that allowing 100% online participation works very well for our format.

We are veterans of sharing yoga online, as well as in hybrid settings. We have invested in sound & video equipment to ease the process, as well as done a Zoom education deep dive on how best to use this platform to create an inclusive learning environment.

Yes we do, please speak to us if you need a payment plan.

After much consideration, we decided to NOT register this course with Yoga Alliance for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, as E-RYT 500 teachers, neither can actually tell you how this standardizing body has had any impact on our teaching/learning in a way that has created more value or richness. We are happy to discuss this if you have any concerns.

Yes and no. We do expect applicants to have an existing yoga practice or have practiced yoga in the past. That said, we have had beginners on the course who wanted the deep dive as a way to start their practice. They brought an immense amount of dedication, compassion and openness with them which allowed them to really make the most of the process. And they enriched the course for everyone else by providing tangible learning situations to fellow students. So, it is not the experience so much as the nature of participation that matters most in the end.
