ACCREDITATION FAQ

Is this training Yoga Alliance approved? Will I certify as an 200-Hour RYT?

Yes. Uplifted Yoga has been a Registered Yoga School (RYS 200) with Yoga Alliance, ID 197303 since 2016.

Graduates who complete the training are eligible to register as a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).

Unlike most online trainings, Uplifted is also accredited by ACE (20 CECs), AFAA (1.5 CEUs) and NASM (1.9 CEUs), making this program recognized across the yoga and fitness industries.

For over 10 years we’ve certified thousands of students worldwide, including doctors, nurses, therapists, and wellness professionals.

Is Uplifted’s 200-Hour YTT right for me?

Our students usually fall into one of four categories:

• Dedicated yoga practitioners who want to deepen their understanding

• Future teachers who feel called to share yoga with others

• Wellness professionals expanding their skill set

• Personal growth seekers exploring yoga as a life path

If you see yourself in any of these, this training was designed for you.

Watch the video below to see which path resonates most.

Do I need to be advanced at yoga to take this training?

Not at all.

Many students enter teacher training simply wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga, not necessarily to become a full-time teacher.

You don’t need to be able to do advanced poses. What matters most is curiosity, consistency in your practice, and a genuine interest in learning.

During the training, you’ll develop the confidence, knowledge, and teaching skills step-by-step.

What if I’m not sure I want to teach yoga yet?

That’s completely normal.

Many students enroll simply to deepen their personal practice and understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and sequencing.

Some graduates go on to teach professionally, while others use the training to enrich their personal practice, coaching work, or other wellness careers.

Teacher training is often just as transformative for personal growth as it is for teaching.

How much time should I plan to dedicate each week?

Because the curriculum begins with self-paced training, you can move through the material at a pace that works for your life.

Most students spend 4–8 hours per week studying videos, reading, and integrating the material before their live cohort begins.

Live calls are 2.5 hours per session, where you practice teaching, receive feedback, and deepen your learning alongside your cohort.

The flexible structure allows busy professionals, parents, and students to successfully complete the program.

How is Uplifted different from cheaper online yoga teacher trainings?

Many inexpensive online trainings are fully self-paced, meaning students watch prerecorded videos alone with little feedback or accountability.

Uplifted combines self-paced learning with live mentorship and a cohort community, creating an experience much closer to an in-person training.

Students receive:

• Live feedback on poses and practice teaching

• Small cohort groups that progress together

• A detailed 600-page training manual

• Direct access to experienced faculty and industry experts

• Lifetime access to both video curriculum and live call recordings

Unlike open-enrollment programs where students study alone, Uplifted cohorts start and graduate together.

Because students learn together, receive real feedback, and stay supported throughout the program, Uplifted maintains a 96% certification rate — far higher than most online trainings.

How do I actually get certified?

Your certification happens in two phases:

1️⃣ Self-Paced Video Curriculum
Start immediately and move through 100+ hours of training at your own pace.

2️⃣ Live Cohort Calls
Join your cohort for live sessions where you receive feedback, practice teaching, and integrate what you’ve learned.

Once you complete the curriculum and assessments, you graduate as a 200-Hour Certified Yoga Teacher.

TIME COMMITMENT FAQs

Is it too early to register for the September 2026 cohort?

Not at all — enrolling early is encouraged.

As soon as you register, you receive immediate access to the full video curriculum and Inner Circle live calls, allowing you to begin learning right away.

Starting early gives you time to move through the material at your own pace before the live cohort begins.

Is it *too late* for me to register for the January 2026 live cohort?

Registration closes approximately one month before live calls begin to ensure all students have time to move through the pre-training video curriculum.

If the January cohort is already closed, the next available live cohort will be listed above.

Students often enroll early so they can begin the video curriculum and Inner Circle calls right away.

What's the next available Live Cohort training date after September 2026 training?

The next live cohort begins January 20th, 2027.

Enrollment for this cohort is already open, and students receive immediate access to the full video curriculum upon registering.

Can I start training before September 2026?

Yes.

The moment you enroll, you receive:

• Immediate access to the full video curriculum
• Your printed training manual shipped to you
• Access to Inner Circle live support calls

This allows you to begin learning and integrating the material long before your live cohort begins.

Are there books or other materials that aren’t included in the price?

Yes — students typically purchase a few required reading books, which usually total less than $75.

Many of these books are also available through libraries or as audiobooks.

Your 600-page Uplifted training manual is added in enrollment and shipped to you.

What payment options do you accept?

You can pay with a credit card or PayPal. All pricing is listed in US dollars and payments will be automatically converted to US dollars if you are paying with another currency.

What are your refund policies?

Because students receive immediate access to the full curriculum upon enrollment, tuition payments are non-refundable.

However, students may defer to a future cohort at no cost up to 30 days before live calls begin.

Students have 18 months to complete the program.

Do you offer scholarships or financial aid? Is there a scholarship for military spouses or the like?

We are currently investigating the best way to bring merit-based scholarships and need-based financial aid to our students. We’ve found these institutions, including the military, do not support distance learning. We are able to provide you with a receipt of tuition if you believe you qualify for reimbursement.

Can you provide me with a “proof of tuition” payment for my own business or tax purposes?

Of course — smart thinking! If you are already a yoga teacher or in a profession in which yoga certification could enhance your business (aka a massage practitioner, nutritionist, personal trainer or similar), your tuition could be tax deductible. Please check with your accountant.
