FAQs
What are the main differences between the online and hybrid training formats?
Both training formats complete the core 200H curriculum. However, the key difference in the hybrid teacher training format is the in-person attention and guidance you receive from the instructors, the community, plus you dive deeper into core yogic principles to further expand your experience and understanding.
Some of the key experiences include daily group sadhana (practice), in-person expert instruction, asana alignment, pranayama and meditation clinics, satsang and wisdom sessions within the community, expanded lesson planning guidance, advanced ayurvedic practices and the exploration of seva (service).
If I register for the hybrid training format but am unable to attend the in-person, on-campus training at this time, can I complete that component at a later date?
Currently, this is not permitted. You would have to repeat all of the teacher training once again.
What are the current Covid-19 safety protocols for in-person training?
For all guests arriving on or after July 14, 2021, in alignment with the CDC travel guidelines, you will be required to show proof of a full Covid-19 vaccination OR a lab certified Covid-19 test that produced negative results within 72 hours of your arrival at the Center when you check-in.

What is the difference between the 200H Online Teacher Training Program in North America and the 200H Online Teacher Training Program in India?
The curriculums for the North America and India training are the same. The key difference with the North America training is that it is catered to teaching yoga to a western yoga population. The training includes additional sessions on expression, cueing, modifications and props and a module on the business of yoga in North America. You also benefit from a network of mentors, teacher training peers and alumni within North America for shared learnings and support. The live sessions are also scheduled to accommodate all four time zones in North America. If you plan on teaching in North America, we highly recommend that you attend the training offered in North America.
