Frequently Asked Questions

What does live course mean?

Yoga vs Osteoporosis & Scoliosis is a live course with live instructors. This course has not been pre-recorded and it is not a webinar that you can watch at any time. This course is very similar to how you would attend an in-person course, with scheduled specific dates and times for you to attend fully.

During the course, you will be actively participating and receive feedback and recommendations for improvement from qualified instructors. For Yoga vs Oseto & Scoliosis, you will attend virtually, via Zoom.  So you only need to walk over to your computer, with no incurred travel costs.

Is the course recorded?

Yes, the course is recorded and available for viewing for 6 weeks after the course ends. Of course, we strongly recommend attending the live class so you may receive feedback.  Think of it as the same as if you traveled out of town to attend a live training course. You would block your time and be fully present.

Do I have to be a health professional or yoga teacher to attend?

No. Anyone may attend.

Will I be a Certified Yoga vs Osteoporosis Teacher at the end of this course?

You will be a Certified Yoga vs Osteoporosis Teacher if you attend the 20-hour live course and score a minimum of 70% on the written final exam & practicum. In addition, you need either a minimum of 2 years experience in the health care industry such as a Physical Therapist, Physician, Nurse, OR 5 years teaching experience as YT200.

What if I have a group or team at work?

We love teaching groups! We can teach this course specifically to your group and are happy to work with your scheduling needs.
