Wondering how to make it work?
For context, many Yoga Teacher Trainings cost $4,000 or more, and we offer our trainings at $2,995. Our education-specific pricing allows more educators to gain access to these practices and certifications.
We also provide trainees the evidence needed to request third-party funding sources such as school site funds, PTA/PTO grants, other local grants, DonorsChoose, and GoFundMe. We offer need-based partial scholarships and flexible payment plans. Through all these options, more than 3,000 educators have made this incredible investment in their well-being and career growth.
Trainees can also opt to earn continuing education units (CEUs) and graduate school credits that may lead to salary increases (check your district’s policies). Grads have also chosen to earn additional income with their new certifications and skills.
