"This training was so amazing. I love Shannon and Kim. They guide you through this self paced training and answer any questions you have. The weekly zoom lectures are amazing with great presenters. They cover everything from the history of yoga, Ayurveda yoga, how to build your own yoga business, Meditation, Neuroscience, Anatomy, and so much more. I feel really prepared to design and instruct fun, safe, and inspiring yoga classes."
"I recently graduated from the Mind & Body Online Teacher Training Program and am so glad I choose this program! I did it while I was deployed to Africa and really enjoyed being able to teach the fellow soldiers deployed with me. The sense of community was sound with the weekly Zoom calls and the email and phone support from Shannon and Kim. Excited that I have lifetime access to the program and highly recommend to anyone wanting to go at their own pace but still have quality training and support."
"I am a graduate of the MBC online yoga teacher training program (200 hour YTT), and I loved the level of support that I received from Shannon and Kim throughout the program. They were a constant presence during the training. The learning platform was user friendly, the pace achievable, the Zoom classes engaging and informative, and the optional retreat was the icing on the cake. I look forward to this lifetime learning journey, but I truly feel that I am starting with a solid base that I received with this training."
"The Mind & Body Online Yoga Teacher Training program allowed me to fulfill my goal of becoming a yoga instructor while balancing the demands of everyday life as a teacher, mother, and wife. Shannon and Kim have created a self-paced program that is well-organized and thorough. They were readily available for extra support whenever I needed it. After practicing yoga for 20 years, I am now a confident and well-trained yoga instructor, ready to share my knowledge with future yogis."

You've got questions. We've got answers.
There are cheaper options and more expensive ones, just like any education system/learning platform. Ultimately you have to decide which program, despite cost, fits you and your goals best. This endeavor is more of a LIFE training, so consider not letting it be about cost, but about fit. Our program is designed to be flexible and very robust but also with REAL LIVE support when you need it.
Once you enroll in the course, you will get an email from Podia (our online learning platform) with your log in information then you will log in and start at the introduction. If you have trouble or questions, contact us. In between the modules available in Podia, you can start to incorporate your personal practice requirements and teaching requirements. You do not need to complete the Podia content first to start. You can alternate, as long as you complete the appropriate hours for all three.
Once you have completed all requirements listed below for verification, and have a zero balance, a certificate will be issued subject to final review of all documents and videos/teachings. This process can take up to two weeks. Please note, if a balance is owed at the time you complete training, your certificate will reflect the date of completion, but you will not receive it until your tuition has been paid in full. Remember, you have access on Podia for life so come back as you wish.
You will receive access to the course materials in Podia that include 12 modules, a final exam, PDF manual, and additional resources. PLUS you'll get 3 months FREE access to Project Mindful Movement's Online Yoga Studio Collective to help you complete your practice hours. Our course includes multiple methods of learning: pre-recorded content in the student portal (Podia), live lectures, community learning, and personal practice. The final practicum requires that students create, record and submit a minimum of (1) hour of you teaching, track and submit 12 hours of practice teaching, track and submit 48 hours of personal practice, as well as pass an open book multiple-choice exam with 80%. Our training has flexible learning so come and go as you please.
How long it takes you to complete could take two months or one year, that is up to you. The beauty of the online course is the flexibility designed to meet you where you are. Once complete you are welcome to register with Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is an independent organization that has standardized yoga teacher training. It is not required to be registered with Yoga Alliance in order to teach yoga, but there are benefits, of which you can read about on their website.
Each person’s journey is different. We have students who can complete it in 8-10 weeks if they dedicate 3-4 hours a day, and we have some students who don’t have as much room in their schedule and it takes up to 6 months + to complete. Remember, everyone is different though, so please take your time and truly absorb the information prior to moving onto the next section.

We will be using zoom. It is a free and easy to use platform. The first Thursday of every month at 11am EST/10am CST will be an optional live session including guest speakers (you don’t have to attend live, the recordings will be uploaded into Podia for optional growth & learning).
Yes! Live lectures are optional to attend. They are just extra opportunities to learn and grow (and even include some CE credit hours for our YTT graduates!). Everything will be recorded and stored on the Podia platform so that you can watch it at your pace, if desired.
We get it! We too love the summary style of learning. However, as part of the Yoga Alliance certification requirements, you must fulfill the entire 200 hours of learning which includes all the module videos and reading (the extras, resources, live guest speakers, etc are not required and are just extra opportunities to learn and grow). This is an honor system of course, and each student will take what they need/want/desire from their learning journey.
This course was created by Shannon with Mind & Body Complete and Kim with Project Mindful Movement. It is hosted by Project Mindful Movement's website and Podia pages. We can't wait to welcome you into this course collaboration with Mind & Body Complete & Project Mindful Movement!
