When you complete the 200h and 300h programs you will receive a teacher training certificate from Heart & Focus Academy that meets Yoga Alliance standards. You’ll also receive a YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Program) certificate upon successful completion of each module. If you completed a 200 hour training from another Yoga Alliance certified school, you will be able to submit both your 200 hour and your 300 hour certificate to Yoga Alliance, should you choose to, for a full 500 hour recognition from them.
The prerequisites for the 200h training are at least one year of yoga practice and study and a keen interest in exploring the philosophical and devotional aspects of practice alongside asana. To apply for a 300h certificate you need to have completed the 200h certification either from the Heart & Focus Academy or another accredited institution.
