SMY’s 200 hour teacher training will qualify you as a RYT 200 after graduation once registration is completed by the student with the Yoga Alliance. 180 contact hours over 9 weekends are included with the training as well as 20 hours of additional guided training which include practice teaching and other take home projects. Our 2015 Training begins in January and all contact hours will be finished at the end of June. Motivated students will complete all hours including practice teaching and assisting by the end of June as well. All contact hours will take place at SMY during training weekends and immersions. In addition to scheduled training dates students will be required to attend 30 mandatory classes at the studio with Mandy and approved senior staff. If practice hours cannot be completed before the end of contact hours the student has 1 year (365 days) from the first training date to finish them. 6 hours of class assisting time and 12 hours of practice teaching are also required but can be completed after the formal contact hours are done.

Attendance for all Training dates is mandatory (unless approved by Mandy)
