Yogalife Teacher Training Program

Register before August 1, 2008 and recieve an additional $100 discount!* 

Yogalife Teacher Training documents available for download:

Overview

One of our goals is to provide a flexible program for people with busy lives. The result is a modular structure, with more total contact hours offered than Yoga Alliance requires for completion of their 200-Hour RYT Certification. Enthusiastic trainees are encouraged to attend more than the minimum number of required hours. Extra hours are included in the tuition price, except for Morning Intensives (see schedule page for detailed information).

With this modular format, it will be the trainee’s responsibility to cross-reference the Yoga Alliance "200-Hour RYS Standards" grid chart and track their own hours in each requirement category.

As it’s important to couple a teacher training program with a consistent on-the-mat practice, Yogalife is offering classes/passes to trainees at 50% off the regular price for the duration of their participation in this year’s teacher training program.
