The 100-hour certification program is set up for students to begin whenever it suits them. The first three of the four modules that participants take are available on an ongoing, subscription basis: each is two months long, and students may renew the modules for extended learning. The fourth module is offered twice a year, with meeting times to be negotiated with students. The entire program is designed to be completed in a year. Students may take longer if they wish.

Level 1 is designed to be fully completed by students in one year. Based on this timing, the total cost of the program, including the mentorship and four modules, would be $1,215. However, if a student is not able to complete the certification requirements within a year but wishes to continue to study to attain the Level 1 certification, the mentorship fee will renew at the start of year two at a discounted rate. Additionally, as three out of the four modules are subscription-based courses, they are available on an ongoing basis and also renew at a discounted rate. Students can cancel at any time or choose to renew access to the modules at a discounted amount for extended exploration.

Many programs make students pay large amounts up front, with the expectation that they complete all elements of the program within the allotted time. Life happens, however, and not everyone is able to keep to their original schedule, and this results in paying for content that one doesn't benefit from. By keeping the pricing separate for the various modules, students do not have to pay a large amount up front and can pay for components when they are ready to proceed with the next steps. This ensures that students get the most out of their investment.

If a student was to take the four component modules in the Level 1 certification program without enrolling in the Certification Mentorship, then the total cost would be $1,290. By enrolling in the Level 1 program through purchase of the Certification Mentorship, you will gain the following benefits: DISCOUNTED COST -- Enrolling in the Mentorship and taking the four modules is less expensive by $75 than taking the four modules separately outside of the program; PERSONALIZED ONE-on-ONE ONGOING MINI CONSULTATIONS -- Receive unlimited 15-minute expert sessions to accelerate your learning and personal growth for no additional cost, valued at $500+ annually.

All courses include evergreen video content that students can watch at their convenience. The first three subscription courses, available continuously, come with weekly Zoom meetings. If students cannot attend the scheduled time, they can listen to archived tutorials or submit questions, which are then answered in posted recordings or emails. The fourth course in this series consists of weekly meetings arranged to suit the student's schedule.

Yes, the full 100 hours count towards Yoga Alliance and other continuing education requirements.

Yes, a student can enroll in individual modules. However, the costs for each module would be higher, and they would not have access to the one-on-one meetings with and personalized guidance from Dr. Shyam.

Absolutely! You can always send questions to be answered and posted in recordings you can access later. When many students show up, tutorials are often recorded and archived, allowing students to listen to the tutorial. You can also engage with the certification community and pursue your interactions outside of modules.
