Question 1

When will I be ready for the training?

Accepted Answer

Applicants must have an established asana practice (at least one year of 2-3 classes a week in alignment-based yoga—any yoga system that emphasises the alignment of the body in asana) prior to beginning the program. The strength of this foundation will support the entirety of the Teacher Training program

Question 2

What certificate will I receive?

Accepted Answer

With your successful completion of the program requirements (course hours and homework) you will earn the 200-Hour Course Completion Certificate from the Purna Yoga College. This Certificate enables you to register with the Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level.

Question 3

What is the Yoga Alliance?

Accepted Answer

The Yoga Alliance was created to establish national standards for yoga teachers. Over the years, it has grown to become the internationally recognised body of yoga teacher training standards. Yoga Alliance does not certify teachers; instead it provides a list of teachers who have fulfilled certain yoga teacher training minimum standards. Those standards make up the 200-hour level and the 500-hour level of most teacher training programs today. Most studios and yoga teaching venues require teachers to be registered with the Yoga Alliance in order to teach yoga.

Question 4

When can I register with Yoga Alliance?

Accepted Answer

With your successful completion of the program requirements (course hours and homework) you will earn the 200-Hour Course Completion Certificate from the Purna Yoga College. This certificate is the documentation that you need to complete your application to become a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200-hour Level, becoming a “RYT-200.”

Question 5

What if I miss a class?

Accepted Answer

To receive your Course Completion Certificate and be eligible for Yoga Alliance registration, you must complete 100% of the classes and requirements. In addition, you must attend the first 5 modules of the course. However, we understand that you may not be able to foresee every conflict, so we have devised the following procedures if you must miss a class. If you miss more than 30 minutes of a module (4 hour course), either by arriving late or leaving early, you will not receive credit for that module, and the entire module will have to be made-up. Any missed modules may be made up in the following ways: • If you miss 1-3 modules (up to 12 hours) you may still complete the program by making up missed classes by taking private lessons with a teacher training instructor. One module (4 hours) = 1,5 hours of private instruction, at a cost of 115€ per 1,5 hour session. Private lesson make-ups must be completed within 30 days of the completion of your course. • If you miss more than 3 modules, you may continue in the course, but you will not be eligible for a Course Completion Certificate. If you wish to receive a Course Completion Certificate, you will have to retake the course.

Question 6

Who will be my instructor?

Accepted Answer

The 200-hour course will be taught by Nicola Moberg. The teachers of the 200-hour Level are Certified Purna Yoga Instructors with over 500 hours of training, practice, and apprenticing. They are also registered with Yoga Alliance as RYTs (“Registered Yoga Teacher”) at the 200 or 500- hour levels (the highest level awarded). They have been hand-selected by Purna Yoga founders Aadil Palkhivala and Savitri, and have studied under them personally for many years to achieve the level of being a College of Purna Yoga faculty member. The members of the college faculty have made very deep commitments to their own practice of Purna Yoga as well as to serving others and carrying on the Purna Yoga lineage by training teachers.

The 200-hour level of training will equip you to teach basic classes; your teaching repertoire will grow as you increase your level of training.
