Frequently Asked Questions
+ Is there a payment plan available?
Payment plans are available for most trainings. Please contact Rebecca for more details.
+ I can’t handstand- can I still take a teacher training?
Absolutely! The physical practice is only a small part of the discipline of yoga.
+ I can’t make all the dates. Can I still sign up?
Attendance at all training sessions is required. Occasionally, make-up sessions can be scheduled at additional cost.
+ I’m not sure if I want to teach yoga. Could a yoga teacher training still be right for me?
To be honest, when I signed up for my teacher training, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to teach! A teacher training program can be a great way to simply learn more about yoga or to deepen your practice. At the conclusion of the training, it is totally up to you whether you choose to pursue teaching or not, but our goal is to provide you with the skills you need should you choose that path.
+ Upon completion, will I be able to register as a yoga teacher?
Yes. Completing this program will allow you to register as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance.
