Frequently asked questions regarding our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training program:
Can I still enroll if I have to miss part of the program?
You are expected to attend all of the in-studio weekend intensives. If you know in advance that you will have to miss a class, please discuss that with our lead instructors before enrolling. For last minute emergencies, we will do our best to accommodate you.
Can you tell me more about the payment plans?
We’re committed to making this training accessible, which is why we offer flexible payment options designed to fit your life. Whether you prefer to take care of it all at once or spread it out over the course of a year, we’ve got you covered:
- Pay in Full: A single upfront payment.
- Extended Monthly Plans: Choose from 3, 6, 9, or 12-month installments.
How to Set Up Your Payment Plan
Setting up your plan is simple and can be done during your registration process. We’ve designed this to be as seamless as possible:- Register for the Training: When you fill out your initial registration form, you will see a section titled “Financial Flow.”
- Select Your Plan: Choose the installment length (3, 6, 9, or 12 months) that best supports your budget.
- Secure Your Spot: Make your initial deposit. This amount is applied directly toward your tuition and confirms your place in the training.
- Automated Ease: Once selected, your monthly installments will be scheduled automatically on the same date each month. No need to remember due dates—we’ll handle the logistics so you can stay on your mat.
A Note on Accessibility: If you are applying for one of our four 25% Partial Scholarships, please wait to set up your payment plan until after your scholarship has been confirmed. We will then apply your 25% discount and help you structure a payment plan for the remaining balance.
Are there scholarships available?
We believe the yoga community is at its strongest when it reflects the diversity of the world around us. See our scholarship program page for more details.
I am (insert your concern). Is this program open to me or do I need to be an advanced student?
We hear from people of all ages and all abilities…
“I’m 67 years old, but have practiced yoga for over a decade. Will I be able to keep up?”
“I’ve been practicing yoga for two years, but am still at a beginner/basic level. Is the program open to someone like me?”
“I have a dancing background, and am quite strong and flexible but I’ve just started practicing yoga a few months ago. Will I have enough experience?”
“I’m pregnant. Can I still participate?”
We are happy to answer your specific question, but most likely the answer will be “yes, this program is open to you.” This is a basic 200-hour program (there will be advanced trainings available in the future). We offer a variety of instructions to meet each trainee where they are- one of the many reasons why it is great to have instructors with such varying backgrounds. If you do have significant mobility concerns (are in a wheelchair, are unable to get up and down from the floor, etc), then we invite you to have an in-depth conversation with our lead teachers to see if this program will meet what you are looking for.
Do you require practice teaching?
We do. About half of our participants have no intention of teaching yoga. They just want a deeper level of learning than they can receive in a typical group yoga class. Regardless of anyone’s future teaching plans, we do ask all trainees to practice teach. In order to teach a technique to someone else, you have to truly know it in your own body. The act of practice teaching helps trainees understand and know the techniques on a deeper level.
We start small, just teaching one posture to one other student and build from there. By the end of the program, trainees are asked to teach a full class. Each person can choose if they want to teach to our teacher training group only or open their teaching to the public.
Practice teaching happens within our normal Yoga Teacher Training weekends. No additional time is required. Though, if trainees wish to gain more teaching experience before graduation, we do our best to open our space for their use.
