DoYogaWithMe 200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

Yes. We are a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance, ID 238368. Our program was first created as an in-person training, then developed for the online space by our program director and instructional designer, Rachel Scott. We do want to advise all prospective students that the landscape for online yoga teacher training is shifting. As of 2019, Yoga Alliance did not register online yoga teacher training. However, the necessity to adapt for COVID has shown us that online yoga teacher training is not only possible, it can even offer advantages over in-person programs. You should be aware that Yoga Alliance may change their requirements for online teacher training in the future, which may impact if we choose to stay a member. You should be aware that Yoga Alliance currently offers no guidelines for online yoga teacher training, so the programs out there really run the gamut in quality. Our program director holds a Masters in Online Education, and has developed the DoYogaWithMe Program to meet university standards.

Yes! Absolutely. You will be certified to teach and will have earned your 200-Hour Yoga Teaching Certification after you successfully complete Level 3 and you will be able to apply for insurance for teaching yoga. However, we strongly recommend that you also complete Level 4, which is our final, in-person retreat. In Level 4, you will learn the essential in-person skills that are simply not possible to teach online, such as hands on assists, demonstrations, and personal presence. When you complete Level 4, you will earn your 250-Hour DoYogaWithMe Teaching Certification.

Yes, you can take our Level 1 Orientation, which provides a thorough overview of the online yoga teacher training program. You can find it our All Courses page.

Course lessons in Level 1 and Level 2 are delivered through a combination of online videos, interactive worksheets, readings, and multiple choice quizzes. Level 3 courses are delivered in person online, where you will do practices, asana labs, small group activities, and practice teaching. Every online yoga teacher training course that you take in Level 1 and Level 2 includes a multiple choice exam that is designed to reinforce your learning. At the end of Level 1 and Level 2, you take a cumulative online exam as well as submit teaching videos and sequences to our lead faculty for review. You will then have a personal 1:1 meeting with faculty to review your work, see what you are doing well, and identify learning opportunities. In Level 3, we work with you in real-time for 40 hours to hone and integrate your teaching skills in preparation for your 200-hour practicum. The final practicum in Level 3 consists of you teaching live for about 20 minutes. This is an amazing - and exciting - opportunity to share your teaching in real time with faculty and peers.

We understand that life sometimes can throw you a curveball! If you need to defer your start date - or if you are in a training and need more time - then just let us know. We are happy to move your enrollment to a subsequent cohort. We believe this online yoga teacher training should support your life and well-being - not be a cause of stress!

In this program, you will learn to sequence and teach practices in the hatha and vinyasa style. From this starting point, you will have a strong foundation in understanding alignment, asana, peak pose sequencing, transitions, breathwork and the many tools that go into creating a class “style.” This foundation will be a launching pad for you to safely and confidently develop your own unique teaching voice and style.

If you join a Cohort and stay on schedule, you can complete Level 1-3 (and earn your 200-hour yoga teacher certification) in 9 months. For example, if you start Level 1 in January, you could begin Level 2 in May and take your Level 3 in September. Level 4, to complete your 250 hours, is scheduled on a yearly basis. However, you can take more time with the program if needed. If you choose to, we encourage students to complete the program within 18 months so that you can keep momentum in your learning.

We accept credit cards or PayPal. All prices are listed in US dollars and payments are converted to US dollars if paying with another currency. We also offer monthly payment plans that split the sum into smaller amounts so that you can pay over several months.

We believe faculty interaction and feedback is crucial to learning. There are many ways to connect with your faculty during your program: - Submit a question to the individual course's Q&A discussion or reflection section 1) Email faculty directly 2) Contact faculty through your cohort 3) Set up a free 1:1 with your Program Director, anytime 4) Receive personalized feedback at the end of each level when you submit your assessment (each session is about 45 minutes to an hour with faculty 1:1) 5) During the Level 3 online, live program (40 hours) 6) During the Level 4 in-person retreat (50 hours)
