This program is designed so that students may work toward their teaching certificate (200-Hour YTT). Students who want the CYT200 designation (200-Hour Certified Yoga Teacher) must take all classes in all of the modules and log 3 hours of practice outside of class every week through the entire program. All books must be purchased, and reading assignments, written assignments, and 10-hr practicum completed.

Graduation Requirements
All requirements must be met prior to graduation in order to go through the graduation ceremony and earn your certificate.
Attendance Policy
200 hours of learning is required, so any missed class time needs to be made up. We will offer a day of make-up toward the end of the program. If you are not able to attend a class and you are able to join us virtually, this is preferable to you missing the class completely. If at all possible, it’s best not to miss a class. ☺
If you miss more than 3 classes, or more than 2 in a row, we ask that you re-take the course because the material builds on itself and too much missed will result in gaps in your experience and knowledge.
Assignments
