What is the Yoga Alliance?
Yoga Alliance registers both individual yoga teachers and yoga teacher training programs (schools) who have complied with educational standards established by the organization.
Their mission is to lead the yoga community, set standards, foster integrity, provide resources, and uphold the teachings of yoga. Although registration with the Yoga Alliance is not legally required for teaching yoga, most studios and fitness centers will require teachers to be registered with the Yoga Alliance.
All Semperviva Yoga Teacher Training graduates are automatically eligible for Yoga Alliance registration.
When I graduate from Semperviva’s 200 Hour Teacher Training program will I be ready to teach?
Upon completion of our 200 hour program, you will have the necessary foundation to begin your teaching career. Your ability to teach will be influenced by how long you have been practicing yoga, your dedication to the program, and your comfort level with teaching.
Are Payment Plans available?
Yes! Finances should never be the limiting factor when embarking on a journey that you are passionate about. Please contact us at info@semperviva.com to help us create a payment plan that suits your individual needs.
Can I register and pay online?
Yes. Please complete our online application form for your program of choice and submit payment as directed.
Is there a limit to the number of students accepted to Semperviva Yoga teacher training programs?
Most trainings are limited to 40 students, however certain trainings will allow for larger class sizes. Class sizes are limited to allow individual attention and group dynamic. Due to the limited class size, most trainings will sell out. We encourage you to sign up by the early registration date to secure your spot in the training.
Do I get free yoga classes with my teacher training?
All students registered in the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program will receive an unlimited yoga pass, valid at all Semperviva locations, for the duration of their training.
500 hour students will receive a 3 hour weekly class led by a 500 hour ERYT teacher.
