"This training has given me confidence that what I am saying is backed by research and by professionals with years of experience. The training just keeps getting better the farther in we go.

Now I have a very professional looking website with my teaching calendar embedded."
Cheryl Meadors, Yoga Teacher

Frequently Asked Questions - 300 Hrs. Option!
Got questions? We got answers! Below are answers to some of our frequently asked questions. For other questions, send us a note at [email protected].
Q. What if I can't attend all the weekend sessions?
A. You will be able to make up a limited number of missed hours by watching the recordings. However, if you think you will be missing more than 80% of the live sessions, please contact us at [email protected].
Q. How long will I retain access to the course materials in the course portal?
A. The course materials will stay up in the course portal indefinitely, and your access does not expire.
Q. How long does it take to finish the training?
A. The live portion of the training takes 12 months. After that, if you still need to finish some of the additional recorded sessions, you can proceed at your own pace to complete those.
Q. Do I get a certificate at the end of the program?
Yes, you get a full Yoga Alliance RYT-300 certificate as well as a certification as a Yoga 2.0 Wellness Educator at the 300 Hrs. Level.
Q. Is the weekend intensive with Tom Myers included in the price or do I need to pay extra?
A. Yes, the weekend intensive is included in the course price. Due to the situation with the pandemic, we will offer it as a live streaming event over the weekend of March 5-7, 2021.
Q. Are the modules rolled out over time or available all at once?
A. Modules 1-3 are available right away. Each subsequent module is added to your course at 3 week intervals. You’ll get an email notifying you when each new module is ready.
Q. Is this program geared toward teaching courses in larger studios or would it also be useful for solo yoga teachers?
A. The program is suitable both for people who teach as part of studios and for solo yoga teachers who prefer to set up their own teaching practice. It's perhaps more suited for the latter, because it caters to the wellness audience, which typically don't find what they are looking for in the traditional yoga studio setting, whether online or not.
That being said, if the marketing is done right (targeting a different audience than the usual studio set), the program can be of great benefit to those teaching via a studio as well, in terms of tapping into a market the studio doesn't normally reach.
However, for individual teachers, one of the great benefits of the program is that you gain much greater independence and more options in terms of where you teach, depending on your preference.
Q. Is the 300 Hrs an RYT course recognized by the Yoga Alliance?
A. Yes. The 300 Hrs. Option is a full 300-Hrs. RYT option, which qualifies you as an RYT-500, if you are already an RYT-200 yoga teacher.
