Frequently Asked Questions

If you feel that pull, it’s a REALLY good sign!

We are looking for serious and committed students with a solid foundation in the basic yoga postures. It is not about having an advanced practice and mastering the tricky poses, but rather a mature practice – knowing your own limits and coming to the mat with a willingness to learn. 

We require a consistent yoga practice of at least 18 months, or a long-term practice of over 10 years intermittently. This course is also suitable for those seeking personal development through Yoga without the desire to formally teach, as well as those who wish to partner formal yoga knowledge with other wellness practices or careers. Please reach out – we are happy to discuss options!
