Do you want to earn advanced credentials and/or a Certification in your Academy Specialty area of study?

Our Credential Module is optional for those who want to go the extra mile and submit a teachback class and final assignment. These additional components are graded by our Mentor Teacher Staff and come complete with a detailed Report Card with personal feedback. If you are a 200+ hr trained Yoga Teacher, you will earn a “Certification” credential upon successfully completing the Credential Module. If you are not a 200-hr trained Yoga Teacher, no worries, you will receive a “Certificate of Competency” in your Academy Specialty.
