Teacher Training 500 Hour Program
1. Can I enroll in the 500 hr program before completing the 200 hr program?
You will need to complete ours or another 200 hour program before beginning the 500 program.
2. My 200 hr certification is from another Yoga Alliance Registered School. What should I do?
Please indicate on your application if you attended a yoga school that offered a different style of training. As our program is based in the alignment principles of yoga as a foundation for yoga therapeutics, therefore you will be asked to begin at the beginning.
3. What if I only have less than 200 hours from my previous training can I still apply?
Yes you can. You will be asked to pick up the additional hours you need by attending the additional weekends offered at Lighten Up.
4. Can workshops I have taken since the completion of my 200 hr training be applied toward the 500 hour program?
No, unfortunately Yoga Alliance currently requires that the complete 500-hours of training are awarded from only two registered schools. In unusual cirumstances please contact the director to determine the best course of action for you.
5. Do you offer a specialty 200-hour therapeutic training?
Yes. Our all new Healing Our Backs with Yoga TM training will prepare yoga teachers to offer pain releif to their students by understanding a wide range of neuromuscular conditions that contribute to back pain. The course takes only 6 months to complete and come with it's own manual.
