Graduation from Yoga Association USA program requires the student’s attendance at all training sessions. Any absence must be approved in advance by our program director. A maximum of 20 hours mean 5 sessions may be missed if arranged in advance, if cover syllabus and approved by the program director. We will provide 50 make-up session 6-month Program (Saturday, Sunday) and 30 make-up sessions for 45 days program (Monday to Friday) totaling 200 hours included in the price of tuition. We do not accept unapproved absences, and they may result in dismissal from the program. In this case, graduation will be at the sole discretion of the program director.

Overview

Yoga Association USA yoga teacher training program’s Attendance Policy can play a strategic role in ensuring that students meet the standards to become a yoga teacher while highlighting the importance of students being present for each part of the training program.
The Yoga Association USA standards are mandatory, and a curriculum must be completed in full for your trainees to register with Yoga Alliance. However, life happens. Schools should have a pre-established plan to support trainees through the completion of a program.

The Yoga Association USA consider the following:

  • Acceptable reasons for missed hours (sick days, family emergencies, etc.
  • Acceptable number of missed hours trainees can make up? (i.e., is there a limit to how many hours can be made up, and if so, what is it? Are there any reasons you would make an exception to this limit?)
  • Yoga Association USA charge additional fees for make-up hours?

Yoga Association USA Attendance Policy included with the program materials given to students who have enrolled in yoga teacher training program.
