Curriculum Overview

This program is designed to be completed in four months. Upon graduation, you will be 500-Hr. certified. We begin with a five-day in-person session in Denton, TX, at Yoga Project January 24-28th. Then, between late February through May, there are weekly live virtual sessions with homework assignments each week. Finally, we will meet again in person for the graduation and celebration at the end of the program (optional for those outside of Texas).

“The design of the courses, the amazing instruction, and the online format were so perfect for me. I need to hear information a few times for it to sink in so having instructional videos that allowed for rewind and review was perfect. The courses challenged me in new ways and inspired me to learn more, outside of required assignments. The 300-hour program structure allows for true connection with classmates which was ideal. I learned an incredible amount of information through this program. It inspires me as I am, once again, excited for class preparation and I am motivated to learn more and share more. I highly recommend this program.”
