While there is no formal accreditation that exists the yoga industry, this has become a common term used to reference a registration with Yoga Alliance. YogaRenew is also the singular partner provider of ACE (American Council on Exercise) for their yoga teacher training, and we are registered as a provider with NASM and AFAA as well.

Is this yoga teacher training ACE approved?

Course Specific FAQ

How does YogaRenew compare to other online yoga teacher certification trainings?

With over 10,000 5-star reviews across platforms like TrustPilot, Google, and Yoga Alliance, YogaRenew has long been recognized by its enthusiastic graduates as the best online yoga teacher training for a variety of reasons. While our course is much more affordable than comparable programs, we’ve made it a point to provide more resources and support than any teacher training available. Over the years we’ve continually upgraded our course, adding new resources, video content, and support. Students receive personalized feedback from mentors, gain 24/7 access to support, and 30 live calls each week. Most online yoga teacher trainings will only provide 1 or 2 live calls a week, or even 1 call per month so this is above and beyond the standard practice. Our lessons are easy to follow with professionally edited and immersive video content, supporting text, resources, study quizzes, flash cards, etc. We’ve built our course with a variety of learning devices to cater to different learning styles.
YogaRenew’s online yoga teacher training provides a diversity of world-class instructors who are highly sought after and contribute to publications like Yoga Journal, Women’s Health, SHAPE, Well+Good and more. Students gain live access to these instructors with specialized knowledge in areas like anatomy, philosophy, sequencing, business & more. This is a rather big differentiator since many teacher trainings will not provide subject matter experts to cover different topics.
In addition to our extensive 5-star reviews and recognition in the press, YogaRenew is also the chosen partner provider of ACE (American Council on Exercise) for their 200 hour yoga teacher certification, providing a major validation of our overall course quality and student satisfaction.
Ultimately, YogaRenew’s 200 hour online yoga teacher training stands out for its support, quality of instruction, range of resources and bonus materials, affordability, video quality, amount of live calls, lifetime access and community.

Is the training entirely online?

You are able to become a certified yoga instructor through our entirely online, self-paced course. There are no in-person requirements to graduate.

Is there an option to attend a fully in-person training or complete some of this course in-person?

While we offer the chance for you to get certified entirely online, we also offer hybrid or entirely in-person teacher training options. YogaRenew regularly hosts in-person training sessions for students to get certified in a hybrid in-person/online training, or fully in-person yoga teacher training is also available. If you decide you’d like to complete a portion of your training in-person, you’re welcome to sign-up for any of our in-person intensives at any point. Students from all over the world attend trainings at our beautiful studio across the river from Manhattan, NYC.

What course materials come with the program?

Once you enroll, you will have lifetime access to the course lessons, resources, bonuses, quizzes, community group and videos. You’ll also gain lifetime access to 30 live calls each week, and over 100 hour of supplemental video content which you can review at your convenience in addition to the required course material. The additional bonus material is optional and not required to graduate.

Is this training fully self-paced?

Not only is our course fully self-paced, but you’ll have lifetime access to the materials with no expiration date on when you need to graduate. We understand that many students enroll in our course with busy lives, work, children, and need the flexibility to work on their own schedule. Our course is built to provide flexibility for anybody looking to become certified as a yoga instructor.

How long do I have access to the course?

How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to YogaRenew’s 200 hour course for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.

We have modules dedicated to learning the business of yoga. Our aim is to empower you beyond the practice of yoga to set you up for success professionally. In addition to our business-centric lessons, you’ll also gain access to business templates and other resources designed to help you in your career.

When does the course start and finish?

The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course – you decide when you start and when you finish and you have lifetime access to all of our resources.

Can I take this course if I have already completed another 200 Hour Yoga Training course?

Yes! If you’ve already completed a yoga teacher training course – this is a great addition to your yoga teacher training or simply a great refresher if you took one several years ago. You’ll receive valuable yoga books, information, and video content to add on to your previous training.

Can I take this course even if I have no desire to teach?

Of course. Many people enroll in a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training program because it’s a great way to immerse themselves in yoga knowledge and to deepen their own personal practice.

Who is this program for?

YogaRenew’s online yoga teacher training is for anybody looking to deepen their practice or teach yoga professionally. Our students come from a variety of different backgrounds and goals:

  • Group Fitness Instructors: Our course is popular with fitness instructors who enroll in our training to expand their credentials and begin offering yoga classes.
  • Those Looking to Start Teaching Yoga: Many of our students have never led any group fitness classes before, have become passionate about yoga and are looking to learn how to teach yoga in a professional capacity.
  • Yoga Enthusiasts: We have many students who have no intention of teaching and are simply interested in gaining greater insight on yoga, its practices, philosophy, science, and anatomy.
  • Current Yoga Instructors: Often, yoga instructors who have previously completed a training will enroll in our course to deepen their practice, fill in knowledge gaps, or take advantage of lifetime access to our wealth of resources, support and community.

Is this course good for beginners?

Absolutely! YogaRenew’s course breaks complex topics down into simple, easy to follow lessons that are suitable for beginners or advanced yogis alike. If you are simply looking to deepen your yoga knowledge then this course is a great option. For less than the cost of a weekend workshop – you can receive a full educational experience that will help you to further your practice and skills.

Can I take YogaRenew's 200 hour course if I've already completed another yoga teacher training?

Definitely. We’ve seen many people enroll in our course after completing another yoga teacher training in order to refresh their knowledge, gain more insight across different topics, or take advantage of lifetime access to our resources, live calls, and support. Many students who have previously completed an in-person training find it helpful to have lifetime access to lessons that can be revisited down the road.
