How the training works

Live class times TBD and are subject to change. They will be adjusted according to the time zone of the group. The recordings of the live calls will be sent within 48 hours of the event. You have until December 31, 2021, to complete the course material in order to receive your certificate.

This course is designed to be both live and pre-recorded video sessions. There will be 60 live contact hours and 140 non-contact pre-recorded hours. You will receive a digital PDF manual for each module of the course (Vinyasa, Yin, and Aerial Yoga each have separate manuals) as well as prerecorded video classes and slideshow lectures you can download and keep forever!

During live Zoom calls, you will have interactive sessions in practice teaching, anatomy, teaching methodology, the language of yoga, sequencing, meditation, breathwork, and more. Outside of the calls, you will be required to submit videos demonstrating your ability to safely execute key yoga postures and teach effectively. You will also have reflective journaling-type homework assignments.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions in real-time. During your time together on the course, you will learn tips to infuse mindfulness, embodied breath, and health throughout your days with an intention for a greater purpose. Each student has access to Lindsay for private appointments as needed online during the duration of the course.
