Yes! In the wake of the COVID pandemic, Yoga Alliance has just set forth new standards that allow 100% of your training hours (Contac & Non-Contact Hours) can be taken online.

Yes! With your successful completion of the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion of  the 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. When this is added to a prior 200-hour Yoga Alliance registration, you can register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYS 500).

No problem, I understand that we all have busy lives and live in different time zones. Thus, I'll record each of the live online sessions so you can watch a video replay at your convenience.

Yes, but these hours are included as part of the total 300 hours, so they aren't additional. There are readings, quizzes and other supplemental activities that some may call "homework". 

There are six modules, each designed to be completed in six weeks. Each module is approximately 50 hours, but please keep in mind there are some slight differences in regards to the distribution of content and hours.

In general, you can expect about 50 hours of learning per module, including: 

• 10-20 hours of video learning
• 12 hours of live interactive learning (Live Group Sessions on Zoom)
• 18-28 hours of non-contact learning (reading, quizzes, journaling, worksheets, practice teaching, etc.)

You have 1 year to complete the training and receive a certificate. The final module concludes on September 17 (in regards to live interaction), but you'll have until January 8, 2023 to access and complete the training. That means you can revisit the content as much as you want or take extra time to take the final exam and complete the training. 

Module 6 concludes on September 17, 2022, at which point the Certification Exam will become available. Considering that you have completed all the training requirements and that I may need up to a week to review your exam, the soonest you can complete the program and receive a certificate is approximately September 24, 2022.  

No. The quality of this training is the same as my in-person training and it meets all of the Yoga Alliance standards. I don't feel it's necessary to differentiate this training by adding "online" to the certificate.

My books are among several resources we tap into throughout the trainings, but the training goes far beyond what is contained in the books. The books convey the open-minded and exploratory attitude that I bring to the training and that I encourage among all participants, and they set a standard for comprehensive professional development as a highly competent yoga teacher.

This training prepares you to teach yoga, not a style or system, but yoga. Our graduates are now teaching everything from Ashtanga to Gentle Yoga, Anusara to Pre-Natal, Power Vinyasa to Acro, Yoga Therapy to Relax Deeply. Approximately half of our graduates describe their classes as “vinyasa flow, ” many others as "restorative" or "yin," and most some combination or blend of various approaches to practice.

Yes. You'll be required to read select sections of my four books and few others, listed below. You can purchase these books online through various sources (such as Amazon or North Atlantic Books). You'll also need modeling clay (such as this) for the anatomy section and a journal. If you don't already have any of the books, these materials will cost approximately $80 USD. 

Books:

• T. Desikachar, The Heart of Yoga
• Jo-Ann Staugaard-Jones, The Concise Anatomy of Yoga
• Mark Stephens, Teaching Yoga, Yoga Adjustments, Yoga Sequencing, Yoga Therapy (available in 10 languages).

Yes. You can use any device that has an internet connection to watch the videos, attend a live online session, download PDFs worksheets and otherwise "take the training" from any device, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone. 

Upon checkout, you can pay via credit card or PayPal. We do not offer payment plans for this course. 

You can receive a 100% refund up until the day the course begins. Thereafter, there are no refunds. If you are unsure about making this investment and commitment, you may want to consider registering for the training "Per Module" instead of "In Full". Or if you are unsure about my teaching style and values, you can get a solid understanding of how and what I teach by reading one of my books or joining my monthly Asana Academy mentorship. 

Yes, please select the "Per Module" option for registration. With this option, you can register for one module at a time, paying for just that individual module ($500), due by the start of each module (so every 6 weeks). 

No. Enrolling per module means not only means that you pay for each module separately, but also that enrollment in subsequent modules is optional. 

Yes! Each module can be taken on it's own for $500 each. Registration is open for one module at a time. You must start with Module 1 and move progressively through the training: Module 1, 2, 3, etc., in  order. As each module begins, the next module will open for registration. 

Yes, I'm happy to chat with you about your concerns, the online format, my teaching methods, or anything else about the training. Please send an email to Michelle Krieg ([email protected]) and she'll set you up.
