Frequently asked questions

No. Most of our students have never set foot in a yoga class. Our Hatha Foundations and Restorative & Sleep courses are built for absolute beginners, and every course lists its prerequisites clearly.

Start with what you want more of. If you want a steadier, stronger, more flexible body, take Vinyasa Flow or Hatha Foundations. If you want to sleep better and manage stress, take Restorative & Sleep or Meditation & Breathwork. If you want to teach, start with the 200-Hour Teacher Training application.

Yes. The full program is delivered live online with a cohort of up to 16 students, and you attend from wherever you are in the USA. Many students join from outside our three cities.

We cannot promise a job, and any program that does is overselling. What we do promise: portfolio support, liability insurance templates, studio placement introductions at partner studios, and a 65% graduate job placement rate within six months of graduating.

You can withdraw during the first 14 days for a full refund. After that, we will work with you on a transfer to a future cohort or a prorated credit toward a self-paced course. We would much rather help than lose you.
