What is the yoga alliance?

Yoga Alliance is an organization that was started in 1999 as a way to create nationally-recognized standards for yoga teachers and yoga teacher training in the U.S. More and more yoga studios across the country are requiring their teachers to register with the Yoga Alliance, either at the 200-hour YTT or 500-hour YTT level. All AKATY-JUPITER YOGA trainings are Registered with Yoga Alliance.

Is the JUPITER YOGA teacher training recognized around the world?

AKATY-JUPITER YOGA Yoga Teacher Training is getting more and more recognized globally, as we span our frontiers to the world of the Urban Yogi community. Our students come from all over the U.S. and all over the world take our training and bring the knowledge back home to their own communities. However, it is always prudent to check in your country if there are any specific yoga instructor certification requirements.

Will I be qualified to teach yoga once I complete the 200-hour training?

Yes! With the successful completion of all the requirements of the program, you will receive your Letter of Completion, Diploma, and yoga instructor certification. You may also register with the Yoga Alliance (www.yogaalliance.org) at the RYT- 200 level (Registered Yoga Teacher 200). Graduates of the 200-hour program usually begin teaching in small studios, gyms, or with private clientele (friends and family). Many new teachers decide to continue their Yoga Teacher Training education and participate in our 300-hour training program as a way to further solidify their skills, knowledge, and personal style as a yoga instructor.

The AKATY-JUPITER YOGA 300-hour YTT offers a curriculum that builds on the material presented in our initial 200-Hour training. It also includes a five-month apprenticeship with a senior teacher whom trainees assist weekly and meet with monthly to gain valuable in-class experience and one-on-one attention. This training is thorough, professional training for becoming a highly skilled Urban Yogi and yoga teacher. It rounds out and solidifies a teacher’s complete education.
