What's the difference between online & in-person?
In-person trainings tend to offer more of a “hands-on” approach, with the ability to connect and interact with real life bodies & movement. Our online course doesn’t offer the ability to engage with other yogis directly, but will offer LIVE Zoom sessions as well as supportive Facebook groups to keep you connected & learning with fellow students!
YogaRenew also has an active and supportive online community of graduates and yoga teacher mentors. The mentors and teachers hosting the Zoom sessions throughout our course are world renowned instructors who have been teaching yoga for decades and are happy to assist with any support needed throughout your journey!
