Teacher Training Application

Yoga Teacher Training Application Questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in our Yoga Alliance RYT200 Yoga Teacher Certification Course! Please take a few moments to thoughtfully complete the following questionnaire. Your answers will help us understand your background, intentions, and goals, ensuring that this training aligns with your aspirations and readiness for the program.

Application Process

Acceptance is on a first come, first served basis. Please complete and submit the following form.  For those accepted, a non-refundable deposit of $750 is due with their acceptance into the program. Those admitted to the program will receive acceptance within two weeks of their application. 

Teacher Training Refund and Cancellation Policy

Upon receiving an acceptance email, the applicant will be charged a deposit of 50% of the tuition price on their credit card. Final invoices will be emailed four weeks before the start date of training. The deadline to pay in full is two weeks prior to the start date of training.

If applicant withdraws from the program after acceptance, but before the program starts, 50% of the applicant’s deposit amount will be retained by the program, and this amount can be applied towards a future training program. The program will not give any refunds or credits after the training starts, but in cases of emergency the full tuition amount can be applied to future teacher training programs. The program reserves the right to cancel any training before it begins, in which case the tuition amount paid will be refunded

Certificate Requirements

In order to receive your certificate you must attend all classes and complete the homework requirements. If you must miss a portion of the training, arrangements may be made for make-up hours with the lead trainer. Private training fees may apply. All sessions will also be recorded so you may catch up on your own time if needed.
