Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete Step 1 before taking Step 2?

Step 1 is recommended as the foundation, but it isn't required — the four Steps don't have to be taken in strict order, so you can begin with Step 2 if it fits your schedule. Step 2 focuses on teaching yoga to ages 3–6, teens, and neurodiverse learners.

Is Step 2 offered online or in person?

Both. You can join live on Zoom with a cohort or attend in person at our Alpharetta, GA studio. Online participants have their materials mailed to them, so you're fully equipped either way.

How long is Step 2 and when does it meet?

Step 2 is 22 training hours held over a single weekend — Friday evening through Sunday late afternoon. You'll find current dates in the registration section below.

Does Step 2 count toward certification and CEUs?

Yes. The four Steps together make up our 95-hour certification, which is registered with Yoga Alliance for the 95-hour RCYT (Registered Children's Yoga Teacher) designation. Training hours also count toward CEUs and PLUs for educators and therapists, with graduate-level credit available through Courses4Teachers.
