Schedule for our 2021-22 200 ryt Course
Currently Yoga Alliance requires 180 in-person contact hours. 20 hours can be completed through on-line training. This current schedule includes more hours than are needed to meet our Yoga Alliance requirements. At this time, we will consider this our schedule with the understanding that some of these hours are likely to be cancelled as we won't need all of them to cover our 200 total training hours. For now we'll keep them in case we need group make up hours due to weather or health concerns.
​
It is understandable that students may not be available for every weekend. Accommodations can be made, sometimes with an additional charge, to "make up" missed hours. One or two weekends can be made up fairly easily. More than that will require a big commitment on the side of the student and an additional charge. "Make up" policies are explained below and in the contract which will be presented upon approval to our program.

Notes on "making up" missed time.
The program consists of 16 weekends of core content. The material offered in the core weekends is mandatory for you to receive your RYT and will require make-up work and may require an extra charge if missed. Attempts will be made to keep make-up charges minimal. In general special make-up sessions when necessary are $25 for first hour/ $15 for each subsequent hour in that session. Shine will work with students to make up work in the timeliest and most cost effective way for all! To fulfill Yoga Alliances standards you will be required to complete 180 hours of the core weekends + a minimum of 20 hours of personalized practicum and homework. You will also be required to complete 10 hours of practicum after our final weekend to receive your certificate of completion.

Previous Year's Guest Teacher Bios......
Rob Dorgan
I took my first yoga class is 1987. It changed my life and gave me a path full of hope.
Yoga has helped to fill in a lot of empty spaces in my life. I am excited to share what I have learned. The biggest influences on my yoga path have been Sianna Sherman, John Friend when we was leading the Anusara Movement, Sally Kempton and Kate Noble.
These exquisite teachers have helped mold my ‘yoga’ into something with deep meaning. I am returning the favor by offering my insights and understandings to those who like myself are seekers of meaning and believe in the power of love.
