Although we encourage Yoga
Alliance certification for your own benefit, this is optional.
Each one of our courses is comprehensive and complete
within itself to the level at which it is presented. Your
Level 1, 2, 3 or Natal Ashram Yoga Certificate is our
confirmation of your ability to teach to that level. There
is an annual fee to Yoga Alliance plus ongoing learning
required to maintain this registration. To

200 hour certification
This is available upon fulfilling Teacher
Training Level 1 plus 52.5 additional learning hours.
This extra learning can be done either during or after the Level 1 course, thereby enabling you to apply for registration as a Yoga Alliance Teacher via Ashram Yoga. We provide forms and certificates for you to keep track of your extra learning. We also have discounts for our teachers on these courses. Ways to attain these extra hours are as follows:
500 hour certification
This certification recognises a higher level of training and experience in a yoga teacher and is available after completion of the 200hr certification and upon fulfilling:
Continuing Education:
This applies to both the 200 and 500 hour Yoga Alliance certification with the intention of keeping your skills and knowledge growing and expanding. It also deepens your own experience of yourself and yoga, which then flows onto your students. Within the Yoga Alliance standards a minimum of 45 teaching hours and 30 hours of continued learning each 3 years is required.
You can do this by attending regular
classes, workshops,
retreats, satsanga, study groups,
etc. Workshops can be repeated. All these are part of
continued education. Another great option is to invite
Shantimurti and Ashram Yoga teachers to run workshops
in your area. We are more than happy to travel anywhere
in New Zealand to conduct yoga seminars, etc., for you,
your students and/or friends.
