I’ve honestly never thought about teaching yoga. is this training valuable for me?

Absolutely. About 50% of our students don't initially plan to teach when they enroll. Many find that the training gives them clarity about their next steps, whether that includes teaching yoga or not. Teaching yoga might not be what you decide to do right away, or you might teach a few classes each week alongside your new path. Your certification remains valid however you choose to use it. The skills you'll develop—public speaking, leadership, interpersonal awareness, business basics, and self-regulation—transfer to any career path.

It will also give you the time and space to live in a healthy, structured way, build confidence, and be a part of a kind, supportive community. The transformation that people experience from this training is remarkable. That’s why it’s called Alchemy.

i really do want to teach and i also need an income. How soon can i start teaching after i graduate?

You can start right away. Once you are certified, you are ready to teach. One of the unique aspects of Alchemy is our post-graduation support. You have the opportunity to intern at the studio to gain practical experience (and immediate feedback), and we help guide you toward studios and other work opportunities. We have an active alumni program and Advanced Yoga Teacher Training to expand what you can offer as you grow.

do i need extensive yoga experience to succeed in this program?

No. You don't need to have much experience at all. We recommend at least three months of consistent practice, but the most important qualities are curiosity, dedication, and willingness to learn. As a teacher, you will be learning a very different approach to yoga, which means that what you'll be learning will be new to you, even if you have years of experience as a student. The intensive program moves quickly, so you need to be ready to fully engage, but prior experience is less important than your commitment to the process.

how will this help me navigate my current transition?

This training provides three essential elements that support healthy transitions: structure, community, and purpose. The immersive format creates a contained experience with clear beginning, middle, and end points during a time that might otherwise feel unstructured. The limited class size fosters deep connections with others who are often navigating their own transitions. And the training itself provides both immediate purpose (completing your certification) and potential longer-term direction. Additionally, the yogic practices themselves offer valuable tools for managing the stress and uncertainty that often accompany major life changes.

what kind of support is available after graduation?

 We pride ourselves on our post-graduation support. This includes internship opportunities at the studio, mentorship for your teaching journey, an active alumni community, and guidance for those starting their own yoga businesses. You'll also receive lifetime access to 46 posture clinics and 20 hours of recorded lectures to continue refining your skills. Our founder, Sarah, remains a resource for graduates navigating their teaching paths, often helping connect graduates with teaching opportunities in the community.
