Teacher Training Policies:
- Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have been practicing yoga for at least 6 months.
- Applicants are required to submit a completed Down Under School of Yoga Teacher Training application along with a $500 non-refundable deposit. Deposit can be made by cash, check, or credit card. Upon acceptance, the remaining balance may be paid in full or the student may choose to use a payment plan.
- Payment plan is available with monthly payments charged on January 15, February 15, March 15, April 15 and May 15 2025. This is an auto pay program with payments made only by credit card. Each payment is one fifth of the tuition balance after the $500 deposit.
- The deposit and the training itself are non-refundable. If applicants are not accepted into the program for any reason, the $500 deposit will be refunded. Down Under School of Yoga also reserves the right to ask any student to leave the program if their behavior is inappropriate or unethical. Under such circumstances, tuition will not be refunded.
- Enrollment and payment for the program and attending training hours alone does not guarantee that a Certificate of Completion will be granted. In order to receive a Certificate of Completion students must attend and actively participate in all the required training hours and modules, attend a minimum of 20 classes with Down Under faculty and demonstrate an understanding of the program content in the written final exam and the final practicum.
- Attendance/Make-Up Policy: The expectation is that students will attend and participate in all training hours. Students cannot miss more than 20% of the training and still receive a completion certificate. Make hours/assignments will be given at the descretion of the faculty.
