WHAT IF I MISS A CLASS?

To obtain your certificate you must complete 100% of the training in compliance withe the Yoga Alliance standards. At the SATTVA School we understand things come up and you might have to miss a class.

OUR POLICY FOR MAKE UP CLASSES:

If you miss a class or weekend, in order to complete the program you will need to make up that weekend in a subsequent teacher training in Edmonton, Calgary or Regina. Occasionally you can make up a missed session in an intensive workshop format, but each case is considered individually, so please discuss with Rameen. You will not receive your certification until you have completed the make up session. On occasion, you can make up a session with a senior SATTVA teacher at the cost of $100/hour.

Some of the books can be purchased at your local book store or studio hosting the teacher training. We have found that the best deals can be found online at amazon.com.
