Online Yoga Teacher Training FAQs

We have 10 required assignments to graduate in addition to viewing all of our interactive lessons: 6 anatomy quizzes, observation log of 10 yoga classes, 45-minute final project video, and 2 fun get-to-know-you assignments. We are with you every single step of the way! If video recording the final project doesn’t work for you, we will set up a Zoom call to watch your demo live.

You will have unlimited email and texting access to your trainers. We cap our trainings, so that we can provide each wonderful trainee with the attention they deserve. The program is fully self-paced, but you will receive personalized feedback on required assignments throughout the program.

You will also be invited to join a private FaceBook group for current trainees and our amazing alumni group! There, you are welcome to ask questions, share ideas, and grow your loving yoga teacher community.

Our yoga anatomy training is led by Physical Therapy Doctoral Student Erika Gonzalez. Not only is Erika immensely knowledgeable about all things anatomy, she’s a graduate of Soul Strong Yoga’s 200 Hour Training!

Erika makes anatomical concepts easy-to-understand and applicable to the needs of yoga teachers and practitioners! Our anatomy lessons are interactive and delivered in bite-sized chunks!

You have two years to complete the required components of the program. You will have lifelong access to all of the program content. The program is self-paced, and you may complete it in as little as a couple of months or take up to two years. Extensions are granted on a case-by-case basis.

6-9 months. Some trainees finish in as little as 2 months and others take 18 months, but if you’re able to dedicate about 8 hours per week to the program (including your own practice), you’ll be a certified yoga teacher in 6 months!

Julie, the owner of Soul Strong Yoga, believes that yoga is an ancient, beloved practice that increases well-being, peace, and compassion for ourselves and all beings. In this spirit and to honor yoga’s birth in India, Soul Strong donates 10% of all online YTT sales to Care India.

We got you covered! We offer the option to pay in full or split the tuition into two payments of $173.50. Oh and we don’t charge payment plan fees because that’s not cool.
