Application for Teacher Training

200-Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training and Certification

Our training is limited to 6 participants. It will be uniquely small compared with many other trainings.

You must be committed and available for 10 consecutive days to attend the in-person part of this training. The schedule for the online part of the training will be decided by the students and teacher.

Ethical Guidelines

During the in-person portion of the training we will be eating a vegetarian diet. If you have special dietary needs, please let us know. A vegetarian diet is suggested, but not required, in a yoga lifestyle. Ours will be a lacto-ovo diet, so it includes dairy and eggs.

The use of drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited during the training. You should also consider the ethical guidelines as a yoga practitioner and potential teacher.

We will review the Yamas and Niyamas, guidelines for yoga lifestyle, and applying these in our training and homework. Your first assignment will be to write a 500-1000 word paper on these guidelines and submit it at least one week before we begin. Please come to class familiar with the Yoga Sutras as well.

Fees and Tuition

The tuition for the training is $3000. The Sewall House 200-hour Yoga Alliance manual (2 copies) is $50. Payment plans are available.

Room and board are extremely reduced for teacher training @$200 per night. That is a 50% discount. We can also accommodate special dietary needs, such as gluten-free and vegan, for an additional fee per day.

You are responsible for transportation to and from the retreat. We offer transportation to and from Bangor airport for a fee, or we can meet you at the bus in nearby Sherman.

Please consult your physician before committing to the training.
