  • Applicants must have at least 6 months of consistent yoga practice prior to the training. This ensures you have a foundational understanding of basic poses, alignment, and the discipline needed to sustain a deeper study.
  • A desire to help others. This could mean wanting to inspire healthier lifestyles, create safe spaces for healing, or simply share tools for self-discovery and well-being.

Reserve your place by submitting a short application and paying the deposit. Spots are intentionally limited to maintain personalized level of instruction and meaningful connections.

Step 3 – Prepare for Your Journey
You’ll receive a welcome packet with pre-training readings, self-practice guidance, and details about the training structure and schedule.

Requirements to complete certification:

Attendance is required for all training sessions to ensure you meet the training standards and gain the necessary teaching skills. If you miss a class, you must notify the lead trainer in advance and arrange makeup work, which may include attending additional classes at Sound of Om, completing written assignments, or scheduling a private session. Up to 12 hours of missed time can be made up this way; missing more than 12 hours may require joining a future training to complete certification.
