GENERAL

What is the time requirement that your online programs require?

We’ve created our programs for maximum flexibility. You are free to make your own schedule and study at your own pace. There are not set start dates and you are welcome to complete your program's requirements and apply for certification during your one-year access to your program.

To help guide your education, we provide a suggested curriculum for our programs. The curriculum varies program to program.

If you are interested in following the suggested curriculum, here is a breakdown of the time requirements each of our Paths demand:

  • Practice Path: 1-2 hours a day over 30 days.
  • Train Path: 2-3 hours a day over 60 days.

Are all Aligned Yoga programs pre-recorded?

Information overload has been the biggest challenge with in-person yoga education and training. With so much to learn and never enough time, we are excited to bring you pre-recorded content that is optimized for clarity. In an online setting, you have full control over pacing.

Our curriculum combines several mediums across written materials, video lectures, and a one-year subscription to Alo Moves. All optimized to help you make the most of your learning experience and learn with engaging content.

For more information, please visit each offering's page to understand how your program of interest works.

I need support. Can you help me?

Yes! Count on us to help and support you in any way we can. Please reach out to us if you need guidance on the best option for you, need help getting started, or have questions about your enrollment. Whatever the topic, we're here for you. You can contact us via email at trainings@alignedyoga.com.

Please note that our regular office hours are Monday to Friday from 9 AM through 5 PM PST. We are a small team and we work hard to process your inquiries as fast as we can.

What system requirements do I need for your programs?

You do not need to be technically savvy to enroll in our programs. As long as you're hungry to learn, you'll be fine! Here's a list of things that will come in handy to start your program:

  • A computer, smartphone, or tablet capable of viewing videos, live streams, webpage, and PDF content.
  • A webcam, smartphone, or camera capable of recording yourself. Don't worry - nothing fancy is needed! We will provide all the tips and tricks you need for self-recording.
  • A working internet connection capable of viewing streamed video.

Will I get access to my program's updates?

Yes! We are always working on adding new content to our programs and improving our curriculum. You will have access to all updates made to your program for one year, after your initial purchase date.

What style of yoga is taught in your programs?

All our programs and offerings are Vinyasa-based.

What is the time requirement per program?

Each program has a structured, self-paced syllabus. You are welcome to break out of the per-day schedule even further to fit your needs, or to combine two days into one for a faster pace. All program content and associated subscriptions will remain available to you for one full year from initial activation. For more information, please read our "Getting Certified" section.

Is there a start date to your offerings? Can I start my program at a later date?

All our online offerings and programs are self-paced - you make your own schedule! There is no set start date for our programs; upon purchase, you will receive immediate access to your program for one full year. Please note that once your year is up, you will lose access to your program except for those materials that are specified to have lifetime access.

You are welcome to get started the day you purchase or at a later date. We strive to give you full flexibility, however that looks for your own needs.

If English isn't my first language, can I still enroll in your programs?

Absolutely! All our programs are taught and supported in English, so it comes down to your personal comfort level with carrying over the lessons you learn in English into your native language.

If I live in a different country than the US, can I enroll in your offerings? What if I have a full-time job?

Yes! We created and designed our offerings and programs to be available to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

All our programs offer a schedule that is self-paced and flexible. You can either power through all content as one immersive experience or make it work for your schedule.

In addition, our programs are open to you for one year after you initially purchase them so you have a unique opportunity to revisit your program’s content time and time again.
