Frequently asked questions
How long should I practice yoga before joining the program?
We recommend a regular yoga practice before joining the program. There should be enough time for you to know that you want to deepen your practice. For some, this may be 6 months, for others a few decades.
What if I don't want to teach yoga?
That's perfectly fine. Only about 30% of people starting teacher training do so with the intention of teaching yoga. Most people take a program like this to deepen their knowledge, to gain more information, more time to practice, spend more time with others who are as enthusiastic about yoga as they are.
Can my application be rejected?
Feel free to ask questions before, during, and after the application process. We are available to discuss with you about the process as well as the programs.
How long will the training take each month?
The 200-hour training represents approximately 185 hours of contact and the 300-hour training approximately 280 hours of direct contact, meaning you will be in a yoga studio for workshops, asana classes, or lectures during this time or online. There are also assignments and readings to be completed.
What if I can't do all the poses that are in a regular yoga class?
That's not a problem. In fact, a good portion of the training will focus on how we adapt poses for each individual. During the training, and hopefully beyond, you'll understand how to adapt poses to your abilities. And more importantly, clearly see what your abilities are.
What style of yoga do you teach?
Many levels of asana classes will be studied, although we primarily focus on preparing to teach mixed-level classes at the 200-hour level and beginner and therapeutic classes at the 300-hour level.
