Although many who take the certification are yoga teachers, it is not required. I will give teaching tips throughout the course, but you can apply what we learn to your personal practice. We also get a lot of healthcare professionals joining :)

The certification starts on Sunday, May 25th with the first monthly call. A new set of videos will be released every Monday of every week until mid-August.

You get access to the on-demand content for as long as I run this course, which I hope to do for my lifetime. Also, I plan on updating the content regularly—the learning never stops. Purchase the certification once to get access to all of the future updated content!

The Meditation Teacher Training Add-on gives you access to both the Meditation for the Real World Teacher Training and the SCIENCE OF MEDITATION Certification.

This is a 12-week LIVE teacher training starting September 7th.

Since many yoga teacher training programs don't cover enough meditation, You’ll receive the knowledge and tools to skillfully guide others through practical, science-backed meditation techniques. You'll deepen your own practical personal practice – one you’ll actually stick to!

When you opt into this add-on, you receive double certification as a Meditation Teacher, as well as, the SCIENCE OF MEDITATION Certification which expands further into the research behind meditation.

You'll see the option to add this after completing the purchase for the SCIENCE OF YOGA Certification.

At this time, you can’t take parts of the program separately. I am only offering this certification as a 12-week experience (but you don’t have to complete it during that time.)

This is the last cohort I'll be running live with the most support and attention directly from me. From here out we're turning it into evergreen enrollment so if you want the most personalized attention and contact hours, this is the best time to join.

Expect to devote about 2-2.5 hours per week. (But no worries if you get behind because you will continue to have access after the live cohort ends).

This includes about 1 hour to watch the on-demand videos in your own time. Then, you can devote as much time as you want to dive deeper into the resources.

And there are about 1 hour of bonus yoga practices you can do to apply what you learn.

Then, on the last Sunday of the month, we will meet live on Zoom for 2.5 hours (don’t worry, the course material will be recorded).

There will be a designated area inside the course platform where you can submit your questions. Plus, you can ask questions to Ann in the 3x LIVE monthly calls.

The monthly calls are on the last Sunday of every month at 2:15 pm Eastern Time in the US to accommodate different time zones. These calls last about 2.5 hours.

But don't worry if you can’t attend some of the calls live, as you will have access to a recording of each one inside the program platform.

All practices are accessible with modifications, making it perfect for folks with health conditions and teachers who teach people with health conditions (which is all teachers, even if you don't know it!)

If you decide to join the SCIENCE OF YOGA Certification through the payment plan, you’ll notice there is a small fee of about $8.5 per month due to the extra admin required to process this option. I have tried many payment models but can’t deny there is an administrative cost to the payment plan. However, I didn’t up the price to the usual 20+% to keep it more accessible!

Yes, you’ll need a copy of the SCIENCE OF YOGA. (Unfortunately, I can’t feasibly include the book due to copyright and shipping issues.) This will be your handbook for the certification, and there will be regular reading. The 2nd Edition (purple cover) is highly recommended over the 1st (blue cover). You can purchase it on Amazon or at any bookstore of your choice. I recommend getting the print version for ease of use during the course, but a digital copy works too. (I recommend iBooks over Kindle).
