Question 1

When should I depart? I need to book my flight tickets.

Accepted Answer

We complete the yoga teacher training on the checkout day in the morning by 9:00 am. You can book your flight departing anytime after 17:00.

Question 2

I am new to Yoga and have not taken formal training. Can I take this workshop?

Accepted Answer

Most probably no. If you have been a long-time practitioner with no formal training, then yes. If you are planning to start yoga asana practices, this training is not for you.

Question 3

After paying the registration fee, when should I pay the remaining balance?

Accepted Answer

You can pay anytime before arrival. If paying online, complete payment 14 days before the workshop begins. You may also pay the remaining in cash upon arrival.

Question 4

When should I arrive for the teacher training?

Accepted Answer

You can arrive on the same day anytime before lunch, or on the previous day for a nominal extra day stay charge.

Question 5

Between Private and Twin sharing accommodation, which one do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Twin sharing is perfectly fine since most time is spent in practice. Choose Private if you’re particular about organizing the room, lights before bed, etc.

Question 6

Can I stay a few more days after the training is completed? What is the cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to accommodation availability. Please check at the office after arrival. Costs depend on the classes or treatments you would like to take; stays without study/treatments aren’t offered.

Question 7

I see eligibility criteria like one-minute holds in some asanas. What if I can’t?

Accepted Answer

The criteria indicate the expected proficiency. If you can’t hold one or two asanas due to limitations, that’s okay, but you’ll need sufficient level before starting the advanced training.

Question 8

I’m an advanced practitioner. Can I join the 300-Hour without a 200-Hour training?

Accepted Answer

No. You must complete a 200-Hour training at a good school first. The 200-Hour covers fundamentals which the 300-Hour builds upon.

Question 9

Do 200-Hour and 300-Hour students practice together?

Accepted Answer

No. Even when both run in the same month, the courses and practice sessions are different.

Is it safe for a single female traveler to travel alone?

Accepted Answer
