Can I do the course in my own time?
To a degree, you will be able to work through each week of the online portions at your pace but, in order for us to support you and your fellow students optimally the content will be released weekly. To finish the course with us, you will need to have completed everything within 9 months of the start date. Our live support completes after 12 weeks. If you have fallen behind you can complete up to 9 months after the start date in order to get the certification from Yoga Alliance but our team will not be available to answer questions / provide support after the 12 week program.

+
What happens if I fall behind?
It's ok - you can do the online portions in your own time over the 12 weeks, but you are required to have completed all the online education leading up to the face to face facilitation blocks. If you do not do this, you will simply be behind in the material and we will not have the capacity to catch you up. If you do fall behind the content shared in the saturday live session may be confusing, as this directly relates to the content that has been worked through that week. However these are being recorded and uploaded for you to watch back at a later date. -

Does the cost of the program include a studio membership (in-person or Live-streaming)?
Yes! The Online 200hr Teacher Training includes a Livestream Only studio membership for the duration of your course. If you wish to have access to our physical studios (which we do not recommend during this course as it is a requirement to practice the 6 classes referenced in each weeks content), you will need to hold a seperarte active studio membership. No portion of the Online 200hr Teacher Training will require you to use our studios. -
+
What time are the Saturday LIVE sessions and what If I can’t make one?
The live Q&A will be every Saturday from 1pm - 2:30pm AEST. These will be recorded so you can watch it later. These sessions are a required part of your hours, so you will need to watch the session it's entirety. -
+
How will the partnering and virtual practice teaching work?
For the “Partnering” practice teaching during the online portions of the course, this is something that is not facilitated by Power Living. We will create a closed Facebook group for you to connect with others on the course. It is encouraged to do practice teaching with someone on the course at least twice a week and you can arrange this via that platform and do it via FaceTime / Zoom or similar if face to face isn't an option. Power Living doesn’t participate in pairing you up directly but we will give you all the guidelines and tools on how to effectively practice teach. During the face to face faciliation blocks, you will be in small groups and receive direct feedback from our staff. -
+
Can I get some advanced training when the course is over?
Yes. Supercoach sessions will be extended to the online 200hr students, so if you are local to one of our studios you can attend these sessions, once the studios are back to normal operations, these sessions will occur approx. once a month at each site. If you're not local, Power Living offers multiple short courses each year for students to up skill and refresh their knowledge after completing the 200hr course, you can view our Advanced Education Modules on the Power Living website. -
