"I feel so fortunate to have hosted a Yoga Factory training in 2018. These teachers were taught in a professional, thorough and compassionate environment. They are now the backbone of our studio. 1/2 of our current staff. They are all “well rounded” teachers, they got a wonderful start. I’m so grateful.”

FAQ

FAQ's

What should I bring?


When preparing for travel, please remember to bring with you:


● Your own yoga mat that you will use for the duration of the training
● Plenty of yoga clothes (we recommend at least 7 outfits, as you will not have time to launder daily)
● One or two nicer outfits for our opening and closing gatherings

● Comfortable, light clothing to wear for lectures and posture clinics (you may be asked to demonstrate a

comfortable

between lectures or clinics

 

What are my expectations as a trainee?


Etiquette is an important part of your yoga practice, and will be important to maintain and uphold for others as
you transition into the role of a teacher.

You are an example for other students in the room; practice stillness in and in between postures, maintain calm steady breath, and focus on the present moment.

Electronic devices (watches, beepers, phones, etc.) will not be permitted in classes.

You will be expected to assist with clean up after classes, and maintain the studio space as if it were your own.
 

How does tuition work? Is there a refund policy?


Your deposit for the teacher training ($500) is nonrefundable. Please see the refund policy on the Yoga Alliance
website for more information about tuition. Payment plans are available upon request and very flexible.

All tuition must be paid in full no later than April 1, 2024 (for the early bird rate)

Do I have to prepare anything before training starts?


You will have some required reading and writing assignments to complete before your arrival at teacher training.  Plan accordingly and budget some time to complete these assignments thoroughly.


Where do I fly to?


Participants will fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN) which is 2 hours drive from the Tulum. Flights from most major U.S. cities are about $400 round trip. Arrival day is Oct 1, 2024  (we recommend arriving in the morning so you
have time to settle before our initial meeting that evening), and departure day is Oct 20 (we recommend departing in the afternoon / evening, as we will have morning activities scheduled).


Where will we stay?


Food and housing will be provided by Tulili Retreat Center.

What if I am only taking Part 2?
