How the training works
The majority of the training is completed online at your own pace through Project Mindful Movement, LLC's course platform, Podia, and includes 139 hours of video lectures, recorded workshops, assignments, and self-study. During the in-person training at The Retreat Ranch, at least eight hours of personal practice will be completed onsite. You will spend four days and three nights at The Retreat Ranch, a serene glamping-style retreat center in the heart of Texas Hill Country.
Enjoy beautifully designed accommodations, luxury amenities like outdoor soaking tubs and nature trails, nourishing meals, and spaces created for deep rest and connection. Your experience also includes lifetime access to your 200-hour online yoga teacher training course, which you can begin anytime, before or after the retreat. Depending on your progress, you may also have the opportunity to complete your final practicum teaching experience during the retreat (instead of submitting a video).
The full program totals 200 hours and includes online and practical components (personal and teaching practice hours, final practicum, and exam). You will complete approximately 139 hours through the online platform, including self-paced videos, lectures, quizzes, OM Work, and readings. An additional 60 hours are made up through:
- 48 hours of personal yoga practice
- 12 hours of teaching practice
- Final teaching practicum (video)
- Final written essay
- Final exam (with 80% passing score or above)
On the first Thursday of each month, they host an optional live Zoom session featuring guest speakers, in-depth learning, and time for questions and answers. These are recorded and uploaded to Podia if you are unable to attend live. While not required, these sessions can count toward your personal practice hours and are a great way to stay connected and deepen your learning. The online part does not have to be completed before the residential portion. To receive the certificate, you need to meet the requirements:
- Completing all online coursework through the Podia learning portal
- Submitting your personal practice tracking sheet with at least 48 hours of yoga practice
- Submitting your teaching practice tracking sheet with at least 12 hours of teaching practice
- Recording and submitting a final video practicum (teaching a 45- to 60-minute Hatha or Vinyasa class)
- Writing a final essay (three to five paragraphs about your experience as a teacher-in-training)
You can complete these requirements on your own timeline - even after the onsite immersion - and you will have lifetime access to the course for continued support and reference.
