Your homework assignments for the entire program will be distributed during our first weekend gathering.

Program pre-requisites:

Traditionally, yoga was taught by a teacher to student when that student was deemed ready to receive the teachings. We also believe in the importance of this practice. Therefore, we require a minimum of 6 months consistent weekly practice and a strong desire to become a gifted teacher.

Attendance Policy

  • As a student in Rasika Yoga teacher training program, you are expected to be fully committed to the 9-weekend program. Full attendance in the program is required for Yoga Alliance certification and to receive a certificate in this program. It is not recommended or desired that you anticipate missing any weekends or segments.
     

  • In the case of emergency only, making up missed time will require extra time, money and sometimes travel. Most instructors charge a make up fee of $100/hr.

As a Rasika Yoga teacher trainee, you agree to the following protocol in the event of missing any part of the training:

  • If an emergency requires you miss part of a weekend training, you agree to contact the teacher who taught that segment, within 1 week of the training, to schedule a private session(s). It is highly recommended that the trainee make-up the missed hours prior to the next teacher training weekend. All make ups must be completed by the start of the last weekend of training.

  • If an emergency requires you to miss an entire weekend of training, you may complete the program but will not receive a certificate until you make that weekend up. Yoga Alliance will not certify you until you have successfully completed Rasika Yoga School. Your teachers will advise you what weekend(s) you need to take in future programs to complete your teacher training course. You are required to reapply and pay for the additional future training weekends. You are strongly urged NOT to enroll going into Rasika Yoga School if you know up front you will miss portions of the program. It is costly, and it will most likely never be the same quality of learning as with your original group of peers.
