What if I don't want to actually teach?

No problem, just take Part 1. We have designed the first half of the training for those who want to delve deeper into the study of yoga, and to improve their own practice. It’s also great for students who simply want to have a transformational experience and to be a part of a Yoga Community without the desire to teach. The deep dive track meets for the first 6 weekends of the program and is priced at half the cost. If you sign up for the deep dive and decide you would like to finish the program to become a teacher, you can continue the program as long as you decide before the first half ends. You will have up until the end of the 4th month of training to pay the second half of the tuition. 

What if I have physical/health limitations?

We recommend that you check with your physician first and we will require all students to sign a waiver stating that you are able to take the class. Keep in mind that we all have limitations of one kind or another, and these can be our best teachers. Also, minor physical limitations can serve as helpful demonstrations to learn to work with students with similar limitations.
