Can I Miss Any Days Of Yoga Teacher Training?

To receive your certificate of completion you must attend 100% of the classes to comply with the Yoga Alliance requirements.

How many students are there in one class?
To really internalize the Sanskrit names of the Yoga asanas, mudras, mantras and pranayama practices a basic understanding of the Sanskrit language is very important. At the end of the course you will be able to recall the Sanskrit names of the different body parts and the asana names, not because you merely memorized them, but because you understand how the names are formed.
