How The Training Works

Join classes anytime, from the comfort of your home—wherever you are in the world! All you need is an internet connection and a device like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with Zoom installed.

This training will be held online via Zoom and high-quality recorded videos. You’ll have access to live Q&A webinars with One Yoga teachers during weekends, personalized advice and guidance via email, and feedback on video recordings of your yoga practice and teaching.

The course takes a minimum of 4 months to complete if you study around 12 hours per week, but you’re free to study at a slower pace and continue attending sessions for as long as you need. You’ll have full access to course materials, live sessions, and support for as long as your chosen plan is active.

To keep the course accessible and encourage steady progress, One Yoga can offer two flexible payment options:

• One-year access – 599 USD one-time payment: Get 12 full months of access to the training materials and live sessions. Ideal if you prefer to move at your own pace with peace of mind. If you need more time beyond 12 months, you can switch to the $99/month plan.
• Monthly plan – 99 USD per month: You pay as you go, for as long as you need. The minimum course duration is 4 months due to the required video homework assignments and 30 hours of live Zoom sessions. Most students complete the training within 4–8 months. If you need more time, you can continue paying monthly until you graduate.

Contact Hours

Live Zoom sessions (around 13 hours per month) are held on weekends and scheduled for various time zones. These sessions with the teachers give you the chance to ask questions, receive guidance, and stay connected to a supportive community. A minimum of 30 hours of live attendance is required for certification.

Non-Contact Hours

Approximately 120 hours will be completed through high-quality, pre-recorded videos. The remaining hours involve practical exercises, which students must complete, record, and share directly with the teacher. Teachers will provide feedback and respond to any questions via email.
