A $150 non-refundable deposit towards the full tuition is due with your application to reserve your place. Refunds on tuition are in accordance with Washington State vocational school licensing requirements. There are no refunds on tuition after the training has begun. Limited space available!
Requirements:
We ask that you have had at least two years of dedicated yoga practice including a daily asana practice during that time. Students are required to participate in our daily asana classes and are eligible for a special discounted unlimited class membership (if not currently a member) during the six month period for $400. Students must have a sincere desire to deepen their own knowledge and practice and a wish to share that knowledge through teaching. We also welcome students who do not necessarily want to become teachers. The course includes substantial outside reading, writing and practice, so we ask that you commit the time to immerse yourself completely in yogic study.
