If you choose to go forward with Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Trainings and complete the 300hr program, the fees you paid for your 75HR training will be offset against your 300HR tuition as follows:

Sign up to 300hr JYTT within one year after 75hour TT completion: 100% of JY75 tuition paid
Sign up to 300hr JYTT within two years after 75hour TT completion: 50% of JY75 tuition paid
Sign up to 300hr JYTT more than 2 years after 75hour TT completion: 0% of JY75 tuition paid

NOTE: The 300 Hour TT Early Bird Discount cannot be combined with 75HR TT offset incentive. I.e. if you signed up with a Early Bird Discount for the 300 Hour TT, your 75HR TT discount will be 300 $ less.

For all classes/sessions/parts of this course it is crucial that you arrive on time.

There will be no (partial or full) refund of the course fee if you miss any classes of the course. The main requirement for successfully completing the training and receiving the certificate is that you need to “show up” and “be present” and engaged at all sessions, complete all homework, learn the sequence, and participate in the final review.

Please note that participation will be monitored, and a certificate of completion will only be issued if you take part in the full 75 hours of this course. It is up to the discretion of the hosting center and the facilitator of the 75 Hour training to grant a reasonable extension for a student to complete any work or to deny giving a student a certificate for stating the reason(s) in writing.

However, in case of missed classes, sessions, regardless of the reason for missing them, the certificate will only be issued if they have been completed, which might involve an additional fee to compensate the facilitator for taking the time to re-teach the missed parts of the program.

The curriculum presents 5 units, each unit is 15 hours. Each day of each unit* contains the following elements in this order:

1. Chanting/Meditation/Discourse [total time 50 min.- 1 hr.]

2. Asana Practice/Practical [total time 2 hrs.]

3. Session Time [total time 2 hrs.]

4. Review [total time 0.5 hr.]

5. Homework [total time 2 hrs.]

Total time per day: 7.5 hrs.

As part of the curriculum of the 75 hour Jivamukti Teacher Training, our goal is for you to learn:

• How to teach the exact sequence of the Jivamukti Yoga Spiritual Warrior class.

• How to teach the Jivamukti Magic 10 as developed by Sharon Gannon.

• How to apply and teach according to the art of Vinyasa Krama.

• How to give safe assists for the asanas within the Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class.

• The foundations of the five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga (Ahimsa, Bhakti, Shastra, Nada, Dhyana).

• The meaning of three Sanskrit Mantras that are quintessential to the Jivamukti Yoga method, and how to chant them.

• What asana practice has to do with the relationship to ourselves, and to the world around us.

• How to properly receive and give feedback from/to others.

After successful and complete attendance of all parts of this training, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion stating that you took 75 hours of foundational training in the Jivamukti Yoga method, namely how to teach the Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class.

Teaching a test class in order to receive authorization to teach Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior classes: If you want to receive authorization to teach a Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class in Jivamukti Schools and other studios, without taking the full 300hr Jivamukti Teacher Training, you must pass a test class. The test class is not an audition; it demonstrates your total knowledge of the sequence and proficiency in giving verbal cues and hands-on assists in a live class setting.

For this test class, which has to be passed within one year of the completion of your 75hr training, you need to pay an additional examination fee. If you pass this test class, you will be issued another written certificate that will say: “You are now authorized to teach a Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior Class”.

The official test class is to be scheduled at any suitable location, preferably at a Jivamukti Yoga Studio. You may take the test class with any properly authorized Jivamukti Yoga faculty, it does not need to be the same as where you attended the 75hr Training. Test classes can be given to any of the following people:

a. A 75 hr TT Facilitator
b. An Advanced Certified JY teacher who has assisted the 75 hr TT at least once.
c. A current mentor in the JTAP program
d. A Continuing Education Program Director
e. A Jivamukti Yoga School Director

Please note: The tuition fee does not include the test class, which must be passed in order to be authorized to teach the Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class in Jivamukti Schools and other studios.

It is suggested that, after completion of our 75hr training, you first teach a number of classes, free of charge, in your community or to your friends/family, in order to enable you to confidently teach a test class at a Jivamukti Yoga School of your choice in front of the Director of the school, a 75hour Jivamukti Teacher Training Facilitator and/or the school’s JTAP Program director.

If you do not pass, the test class, you may repeat it for an unlimited number of times within one year (subject to the examination fee being paid for each test class).

Alternatively, you may also elect to take the 300HR Jivamukti Teacher Training at a later point which authorizes you to teach any Jivamukti Yoga class, including the Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class, without passing a test class.

If you decide not to take the test class: This certificate of completion alone does NOT authorize you to teach Jivamukti Yoga Spiritual Warrior classes nor does taking this 75hr foundational training alone authorize you to teach any other Jivamukti Yoga class. These limitations will be stated in fine print on your certificate.

Please note: The 75hr Teacher Training is an introductory, foundational training and therefore, the certificate will also state, in fine print: “You cannot call yourself a Jivamukti Yoga Teacher until you attend a 300HR TT program to become a Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, nor may you teach any other Jivamukti Yoga classes or use the brand name Jivamukti Yoga for any of your other yoga classes or similar yoga teaching services.”
