You’re here because in some way the yoga tradition has made a substantial impact on who you are today. 

Through yoga’s tools and teachings, you’ve probably felt held, supported, seen, understood, inspired or empowered, and as a result...

Your life has prospered. 

When something contributes to our growth and development like yoga has, we’re naturally drawn to learn more, study the subject matter, and steward the teachings forward. 

This is the natural evolution for many dedicated yoga students who’ve greatly benefited from a rich, holistic practice…they feel called to immerse themselves in study, become teachers, and potentially guide students on their own inward, spiritual journeys. 

This is the same call I heard over a decade ago, and I’m so thankful I had the courage to not only listen, but lean in and take imperfect action. 

Becoming a yoga teacher demands patience, humility, devotion, reverence and life-long studentship.

If you’re up for the challenge, myself, my team and our guest faculty are here to guide you through the very beginning stages of your yoga teacher journey. 

What past graduates are saying...

What is Holistic Yoga though?

Holistic yoga is the opposite of what's mainstream, popular, and widely available and offered.

When you practice and teach holistically, you don't reduce the yoga tradition down to a singular teaching (the poses), glorify the shapes a body can make, knowingly disrespect its origins, or equate yoga with physical fitness.

Instead, you embrace yoga as a living tradition that's filled with wisdom teachings to guide you and your students on an inward, spiritual journey.

Here's how we'll embrace this.

Becoming a skilled, successful and spiritually fulfilled yoga teacher rests on three key pillars - your sadhana (practice), your svādhyāya (studies), and your capacity to guide an impactful experience through skillful speaking and sequencing.

These will be our three key focuses throughout this training to support your becoming.

What sets our training apart?

This isn't just a pre-recorded, go at your own pace training that lacks feedback, accountability or real-time connection with your teachers and community. Our training is well-rounded, just like the teacher you're wanting to be.

Learn more below about why our training is vastly different than what's widely available and offered (aka mainstream).

Is online training effective?

Allie and the BMS Team have been leading and supporting an online yoga community for over 5 years! We've learned how to effectively translate knowledge in an online format through 100+ workshops, courses and live events. We firmly believe in online trainings and the power of this program. Plus, Allie completed her 300-HR YTT, and courses with several of the teachers here through virtual trainings.

Will I have 1:1 access to Allie?

Allie or the BMS YTT Team will attend one of the bi-monthly group calls to provide feedback, support and mentorship. You'll also see her at the live training days, and the monthly Q+A's. In between calls, you'll be able to email the BMS Team with messages escalated to Allie on a requested basis.

What if I miss one of the bi-monthly group calls?

You are allowed to miss two peer group calls. If you miss more than two, a make-up session with Allie or the BMS Team is required at an additional cost of $100 USD. You may also be required to complete a make-up assignment. 

What type of content will you learn in this program?

You'll learn to embrace yoga as a living tradition that's filled with wisdom teachings to guide you and your students on an inward, spiritual journey.

For more detail, scroll back up to review the breakdown of each of our modules!

What will the monthly schedule look like?

Each month you'll get access to a new module that includes a week by week breakdown to help you complete the content based on your personal schedule. You'll also have two 75 min. group calls per month, and three live weekend immersion trainings throughout the seven month span of studies.

Can I do this certification program with a full-time job?

Yes, that's the beauty of an online training! You'll need to dedicate approx 10 hours a week to your training, but we designed the majority of it to be flexible through pre-recorded, self-paced materials.

We've also released the monthly live training days so you can plan ahead, and your bi-monthly meeting time will be chosen based on your time selection preferences.

What are the graduation requirements?

In order to graduate, we need to be sure that you've completed all 200 hours of training which includes the live events, workbook assignments, the final project and more. We value the experience and education provided here and stand by our requirements.

We understand life happens though, and have provide make-up assignments and opportunities wherever possible.

See graduation requirements below. More details are provided upon enrollment.

LIVE TRAININGS: Attend all live training days. Students are required to watch the replays for any live training content they miss.

FINAL PROJECT: You have a three part final project. 1) Create three 30 minute holistic yoga sequences 2) Teach one of your sequences 3) Write a short 1 page paper

PEER GROUP CALLS: Attend bi-monthly 75 min. Peer Group Calls (14 in total)

OBSERVE EIGHT YOGA CLASSES: Attend 8 different yoga classes throughout the program (in person or online) and submit your observations through the online form.

PARTICIPATE IN TEACHBACKS: Participate in teachbacks throughout the program, at your peer group calls as well as during live training weekends.

What if I don't submit my final project or complete all the materials by the end of the program?

Students are responsible for submitting their final project, any make-up assignments and meeting their graduation requirements (we provide an outline of these requirements in the last question) by the September deadline in order to receive their certificate.

We believe this deadline encourages student responsibility and dedication - traits we want in our yoga teachers too!

However, unforeseen changes in circumstances can slow down progress. If this happens, we'll need to be made aware and take each scenario on a case-by-case basis.

What technology is needed to participate?

You'll need access to a reliable computer or tablet, a solid internet connection and Zoom (where we hold our live trainings). We also highly suggest a webcam to elevate your teach backs.

Can I teach yoga after completing the program?

Absolutely! You'll receive a certificate of completion after you submit all the graduation requirements. In the last module of this program, you'll learn how to enter into the business of yoga.

Are there books included in the price?

Yes, we'll be mailing you the Yoga Toolbox by Joseph & Lillian Le Page. This is the same toolbox that Allie received at her first 200-HR YTT, and it's one that can grow with you as continue to evolve.

Are there books or other materials that aren’t included in the price?

Yes, not included in your tuition fees are: your anatomy textbook, books required for sadhana practice, computer or internet access, or any yoga props (such as a mat, blocks etc.) that you don't already own.

Information on all required reading and where to purchase those books is provided after enrollment.

Will you be offering this program again in the future?

We will, but no future trainings are currently scheduled because Allie plans to grow her family. If you're feeling called to join us - now is the time!

Do you have a refund policy?

Tuition is 100% non-refundable due to the online nature of the program. 

We uphold this policy because students can use the program at any time and are guaranteed lifetime access to the pre-recorded learning materials, PDF downloads and live training replays - this allows everyone to complete the program at a pace that works best for their unique life circumstances.

Do you have a withdrawal policy?

Withdrawal Policy: If a student wishes to withdraw from our program for any reason, they must first contact school management at [email protected] to discuss their reasons for withdrawal. 

Tuition remains non-refundable if a student chooses to withdraw and future graduation is not guaranteed. 

At the school’s discretion, the student may be offered the option to enroll in a future training program OR work 1:1 with the team in order to graduate at a later date. Neither option is guaranteed, and both are subject to additional fees. The school will discuss this with the student at the time of withdrawal. 

Students who withdraw may have the option to enroll in a future training program, this will be subject to a $800 or more fee, or work with the team 1:1 at $100 per hour in order to graduate.

The BMS Team will discuss your options and potential fees with you before you make your withdrawal official, in order to support your decision making!
