The Frequently Asked
I haven't been practicing yoga long, can I sign up?
The answer to this will differ from person to person. I know people that waited 10 years before completing their training and others that signed up within 6 months of starting their practice. Get in touch with me here and we can arrange a time to talk and discuss if the program is right for you!
Do I have to know how to headstand to do this teacher training?
You might be surprised how often I hear this question... and I get it! I remember when I signed up for my first training, I started practicing headstand everyday under some notion I needed it to be a successful teacher. I can tell you the answer, at least for this training, is an emphatic no. This training doesn't require anything from you other than an open mind and a willingness to dive deep.
I don't live in California, can I sign up?
Absolutely, I frequently meet students who have travelled interstate and overseas for training. This training is certified by Yoga Alliance and is recognised worldwide.
Are there any prerequisites for this training?
Nope! This training is perfect for new students keen to complete a comprehensive and powerful teacher training, as well as existing teachers who want to supplement and add a new layer of power and knowledge to their training.
What if I don't want to become a teacher?
The training is designed for those wanting to teach, those looking to deepen their practice, and those seeking to gain confidence and leadership in their life.
I have an injury / special condition, can I still take this training?
I'm comfortable working with injuries and modifying the physical practice to suit your needs. That said, it's important you consult a physician and get the official 'OK'. Feel free to get in touch with me here and we can arrange a time to discuss your circumstances.
Is it OK to do this teacher training if I'm pregnant?
This training can absolutely be modified to accomodate your beautiful gift! It's important, however, you speak with your doctor about the training and get their 'OK'.
What are the graduation requirements?
100% attendance is required, as well as submission of all pre and post work assessments. 100% of tuition must also be paid.
What if I have to miss some hours?
It's important you're able to attend 100% of the training, not just for the certification requirements but also for your comprehensive and complete development as a teacher of the Live in Discovery™ training. That said, I understand that life happens. If you need to miss part of the training for any reason, you can make up the time with a lead facilitator at an hourly rate.
Will I be qualified to teach after this training?
You'll be qualified to teach, yes. More importantly, you'll be eager to get out and do it!
