Q: Will this training lead toward my 200-hour yoga certification?
A: It’s possible, but you need to check with the specific 200-hour program you intend on participating in to confirm (it is up to them). This training and all trauma-conscious yoga trainings are considered electives or specializations by Yoga Alliance. Most 200-hour yoga teacher trainings have a set curriculum that they abide by to meet Yoga Alliance’s standards for 200-hour certification. Trauma-informed yoga is not a part of Yoga Alliance’s 200-hour standard, however some 200-hour YTT’s will allow this training to count toward their completion.

Q: Is the course content available or download?
A: The manual and pdf documents, audios of meditation and contemplative practices for you and your clients, and meditation scripts are available for download. The only content that is not available for download are the video lectures. This is to protect from copyright infringement or illegal distribution of the course content. Don't worry- you will have lifetime access to the videos and all course content.
Q: Can I share this training and complete with a colleague(s)/friend(s)?
A: No, it is expected that each individual participating in the training will purchase the content for themselves. This course would not be possible if everyone shared the material instead of purchasing it for themselves. Please uphold the ethical principle of satya (truthfulness) on this. Thank you in advance.
Q: What about after the training?
A: Nityda is pleased to offer you access to The TCYM TT Alumni FB group after the course. Nityda also offers online consultation groups once a month to support your continued study and growth.
