Not at all! This program is open to anyone with a consistent practice and a curious spirit. You don’t need to be able to do a handstand—we value presence, not perfection.

That’s okay! Many students join this journey for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. Teaching is a path, but it’s not the only one.

Our training is based on the Hatha and Vinyasa traditions, with deep integration of accessibility. You’ll also explore meditation, pranayama, and the history of yoga with respect for its cultural context.

Yes, but it’s intentional and supportive. Expect 2–5 hours per week of reading, practice teaching, exploration, and self-inquiry. This is where much of the learning implementation occurs, a crucial part of the training process.

Trainees are required to attend training, mentorship, and workshop sessions and complete the following:

• Homework assignments

• Complete Yoga Renew Anatomy training

• 30 asana classes

• 15 meditative classes

• Complete 5 class observations and reflection

• Lead a one-hour class for the Rooted Yoga community

We understand that life can get busy, and sometimes unexpected things come up. However, this training requires consistent attendance and your full presence.

If you know ahead of time that you’ll need to miss a session, please coordinate with your lead instructor as early as possible so we can support you in staying on track.

Missing more than two sessions may require you to schedule additional one-on-one mentorship hours with an instructor to complete your certification—a fee will apply.
