Frequently asked questions
regarding Level 2
Is there a maximum time limit between doing Level 1 and Level 2?
No, however we recommend you try to complete both courses within 3 months if possible. You need your 50 hour qualification to register with Yoga Alliance - International Registry.
Can I enrol in Level 2 as a follow-on course when I enrol in Level 1?
Absolutely, this is the usual way to enrol, and ensures your place in the upcoming LEVEL 2 Training. Please make sure you complete a Level 1 Training before attending Level 2.

Yes. You will complete a 5 Day Mindfulness Challenge, with Pre Readings and teach 2 informal Practice Classes. These contribute towards your 50 hours.
