What is this 300-hour teacher training all about?
There is a difference between learning yoga and learning how to teach yoga. While our program certainly honors and explores the depths of yoga philosophy, our focus is on teaching yoga. While many people sign up for a 200 hour yoga teacher training to learn how to teach, or to simply dive deeper into yoga, this 300 hour professional program is designed for yoga teachers looking to refine and develop their craft. Through the 9 different modules, you will assess Where You Are, decide Where You Want to Go, and plan How You're Going to Get There. Because a sustainable, rewarding, and enriching career in yoga IS possible, and we are committed to helping you get there.
What makes this training different from other 300 hour teacher trainings on the market?
You may have noticed a flood of advanced 300-Hour trainings hitting the market recently. Many of them are designed to quickly 'check the box' of an advanced certification in order to be able to stay compliant with Yoga Alliance's updated lead facilitator training standards introduced in 2022. The Y6 300-hour teacher training program will do far more than just check the box. We have spent years developing and refining the content, materials, and delivery to ensure that our participants truly grow in their profession. It is fully interactive, live, and engaging.
Can an online/virtual training capture the magic of an in-person experience?
Absolutely! We're thrilled to announce that our program offers the best of both worlds. From the very beginning, we collaborated closely with instructional designers to ensure that our online components are vibrant and engaging, just like our in-person sessions. With our new hybrid schedule, you can enjoy the convenience of virtual learning while also relishing the rich experiences of gathering in-person. It's the perfect blend of accessibility and the benefits of face-to-face interaction.
Is this training approved by Yoga Alliance? Even the virtual program?
Yes! YogaSix is a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance. Reviews for our program can be found here.
Are there any prerequisites to do the program?
You have to have graduated from a 200 hour teacher training program. Upon registration, you will receive the course syllabus and suggested readings.
Do I have to have done my 200 hour through YogaSix? Do I have to currently teach a YogaSix location to do the program?
Nope and nope! We welcome in teachers from a variety of backgrounds, as long as they are committed to growth, reflection, and being in the conversation.
Does completion of this program guarantee me employment?
As confident as we are in our ability to support your growth and skillset, we cannot guarantee employment.
Will I be able to teach at studios that are not YogaSix studios?
Absolutely! Our 300HR Yoga Teacher Training is recognized by Yoga Alliance. Our program is well respected within the yoga community and teachers from our program are sought after. Our graduates have gone on to teach at countless yoga studios, gyms, resorts, as well as work with corporate & private clients.
What if I miss a session? Am I able to make it up at a later date?
Group learning is one of the many gifts that this training offers. While it is impossible to recreate a moment in time or a session that is missed, we understand that life happens, and sometimes unforeseen circumstances come up. You are allowed to miss up to 30 live contact hours. For each missed session, a makeup assignment will be given and is to be completed within 14 days to keep you on track for successful completion of the program.
Do I have to be an advanced teacher to take the training?
No, though some experience teaching outside of your initial teacher training will be extremely beneficial. After all, you have something to reflect upon. The training is about diving deeper into the study and practice of yoga, as well as the skills needed to be an amazing teacher. It doesn't matter if you've been teaching for 1 year or 20, in this program, you'll find a supportive environment where teachers and facilitators challenge one another to grow and celebrate success.
Do the 300 hours of training happen within all the weekends and immersions?
The program is broken down into requirements by Yoga Alliance and is made up of approximately 261 live hours including lectures, asana labs and practice with the lead trainers. To make the most of the live lessons, home study is assigned for each module. Trainees typically spend an average of 5 hours per/module on self-guided home study and projects.
Are payment plans available?
Yes! You pay in full or break the tuition up into as many as 10 monthly payments.
What's included with my tuition?
6 months of Xponential+ On-Demand streaming is included with your tuition. You will also receive a comprehensive trainee manual, and access to our state-of-the are online learning platform. Upon graduation of the program, you will be invited to a 6 month monthly coaching call with the Director of Eduction at YogaSix and special guest speakers.
What's not included with my tuition?
There are several required texts that are required for home study assignments. Additionally, it is recommended that you secure two yoga blocks, one bolster, and one yoga strap for the training as well.
Is there a deposit? What is the refund policy?
Because space is limited, we do consider the first $1,000 paid to be your initial deposit. If you cancel thirty (30) days or more before the start of the program, you will forfeit $350 of the deposit and the remaining balance will be refunded. If you cancel 1-29 days before the start of the program, you will forfeit $1,000 of the deposit and the remaining balance will be refunded.

Will I regret taking the leap and signing up?
No, you wont. We can't wait to support you in your journey.
