Frequently Asked Questions


How is this 8 day mini-course delivered?
This mini-course is an eight day guided tour of the full 500 hour Kaivalya Yoga Method Teacher Training.

How much of The Kaivalya Yoga Method Teacher Training does this mini-course represent?
This 8 day mini-course represents a small fraction of the entire 500 hour course. But! This is enough to give you some very high quality education on some key areas within yoga. What we hope is that you walk away from this 8 day mini-course with some solid tools that deepen your practice and give you more insight into yoga, and also pique your interest in beginning your teacher training journey. Either way, we're pleased you're here with us!
Is there a way for me to meet the mentors or receive feedback within this mini-course?
While this course is meant to give you insight into the depths of the full program, what is NOT in this course is the opportunity to interact with our team of highly-trained, esteemed mentors. Throughout the full course, you upload videos of your teaching practice, lectures and demonstrations, while the mentors guide you and offer individualized feedback. This is a way to excel as a teacher trainer, and it is unique to The Kaivalya Yoga Method Teacher Training. No other program gives you this level of highly personalized guidance and coaching throughout your experience!
Does the full training use the same software that this mini-course does?
Yes, the full training uses the same software platform. The full training gives you the ability to interact with mentors, upload videos and documents, and receive video feedback from the mentors. We also have an interactive student community where you can meet your fellow trainees and build friendships and lasting bonds. Finally, we regularly have live webinars for our currently enrolled students, as well as one-on-one coaching when needed.
