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).

Currently, this is not permitted. You would have to repeat all of the teacher training once again.

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.

Participants can miss up to 8 hours of instruction of the live sessions within the online format. Up to four hours of the maximum 8 hours of missed sessions can be missed without requiring a make-up session. The student in training will still be accountable for what was covered in the missed sessions. The student can still request a make-up session per the pricing below.

Students who miss between 5-8 hours of live sessions within the online or in-person format will be required to make up the total hours of missed sessions in a rescheduled session determined by the school at some point during the teacher training program. They will be charged at the 5-6 hours of missed time rate or more per the table below.

The cost of make-up sessions is $100 per hour, prorated to the half-hour mark.

1 hour = 1-4 hours of missed time

1.5 hours = 5-6 hours of missed time

2 hours = 7-8 hours of missed time
