FAQ
Help
Centre
Search our most common questions.
No matching questions. Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer.
Is this course good for beginners?
Yes. You need commitment and consistency, not perfection. Flexibility is a result of the practice, not a requirement to start, and there is no audition or minimum years of practice.
Can I do this while working full time?
Yes. The course is entirely self-paced, with no scheduled Zoom calls, no essays and no deadlines.
Is this a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 course?
YogaFX is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS 200). The course is built to fulfil the RYT 200 credential requirements, and an RYT 200 and/or YACEP designation upgrade is available on completion. Registration with Yoga Alliance is a separate step you complete yourself, and we walk you through it.
Can I take this if I’ve already done another 200-hour training?
Yes. It is a strong addition for existing RYT 200 teachers who want to add the Original Hot 26&2 method, or a refresher if you trained years ago.
How is the dialogue taught without live classes?
Through three layers: a complete dialogue workbook, downloadable MP3 audio you can practise with anywhere, and full-series demonstrations you can pause, rewind and mute to practise teaching over the top.
Do I get community support?
The online course is self-paced and independent, with no live sessions and no cohort. Community support, live feedback and accountability come with the Bali MasterClass.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access, across all your devices.
What if I want to train in person later?
Your full USD 329 is credited toward Mr. Ian’s MasterClass in Bali, and your online study counts as its pre-course preparation. Nothing is lost by starting online.
Will the certificate be accepted at any studio, gym, or corporate private fitness setting?
Yes, after you receive the certificate and finish all the course materials you are officially certified to teach yoga. Always check the employment requirements at the organisation, gym, health club, office space, or studio before applying for yoga instructor jobs, since there is no way to speak on behalf of every organisation’s hiring criteria.
Are there any required reading books?
Yes. All students are required to purchase two books: Teaching Yoga: Essential Foundations and Techniques by Mark Stephens, and The Art & Business of Teaching Yoga by Amy Ippoliti. Both are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any major book retailer.
What payment options are available?
Credit card or PayPal through our secure checkout, in US dollars. You can pay in full or in 4 interest-free payments of USD 82.
Is this an official Bikram Choudhury teacher training?
No. This is an independent training that teaches the Original Hot 26&2 sequence and dialogue under Mr. Ian Terry, E-RYT 500.
