Yes. Twist Yoga is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School.

The 200-hour training provides the foundational teacher-training pathway, and the 300-hour advanced training is designed for students who have already completed a qualifying 200-hour yoga teacher training.

Students who intend to register with Yoga Alliance are responsible for completing applicable training requirements, maintaining required documentation and following Yoga Alliance's current registration process.

Yes.

The 200-hour program combines online education and personal practice with assignments, assessments, live support and supervised teaching practicum.

Students can complete much of the training from home while still gaining experience teaching real people and receiving feedback.

Students have up to 12 months to complete the program.

Some students move through the material considerably faster, while others use more of the available year.

Teacher certification is based on completing the required education, practice, assessments, practicum and documented training hours rather than simply reaching a certain calendar date.

Yes.

Students who intend to document their teacher training and pursue applicable Yoga Alliance registration should maintain accurate training records.

Twist Yoga provides student hour-tracking resources to help you document your progress.

No.

If you have already completed a qualifying 200-hour yoga teacher training through another school, you may apply directly to the Twist Yoga 300-hour advanced program.

Your prior training will need to meet the applicable prerequisite requirements.

No.

The advanced training intentionally combines online education, private mentorship, supervised teaching and in-person training.

The program includes 12 private 60-minute Zoom mentorship sessions with Dr. Lisha, a required 14-day in-person intensive totaling 112 training hours, and 12 hours of supervised practicum.

The location can vary.

Depending on scheduling and the training arrangement, the student may travel to Dr. Lisha, Dr. Lisha may travel to the student, or another mutually appropriate location may be selected.

Location and scheduling are coordinated as part of the advanced training process.

No.

Airfare, lodging, meals, local transportation, passports or visas when applicable, travel insurance and other travel-related expenses are separate from tuition unless a particular intensive is specifically advertised as including them.

The level depends on your training.

The 200-hour program emphasizes verbal cueing, alignment, observation and verbal corrections.

Advanced hands-on adjustment education is part of the 300-hour training.

Physical contact should be taught and practiced with clear consent, appropriate boundaries and respect for each student's choice to decline touch.

The practicum is where you actually teach.

Rather than only studying teaching methodology, students lead real classes while Dr. Lisha observes live, either in person or through an appropriate live video setup such as Zoom.

You receive feedback that helps you refine your cueing, pacing, observation, class leadership and teaching decisions.

Divine in 9 is Twist Yoga's nine-week practice framework incorporating Flame, Breeze, Wave, Bamboo and Stone.

It provides structured technique practice within teacher training and can also be experienced separately as an online personal-practice program.

Completion of yoga teacher training does not automatically grant commercial licensing or authorization to market yourself as an officially licensed Divine in 9 instructor.

Any separate branded teaching or licensing authorization is governed by its own requirements and agreement.

Extensions may be considered individually and require written approval.

Additional costs may apply.

An extension does not waive or reduce the requirements that must be completed before certification.

Students should review the complete Twist Yoga RYS Tuition and Refund Policy before enrolling.

Once substantive course access begins, tuition and scheduled payments are generally non-refundable except where otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the applicable written policy.

If a payment plan is selected, it divides the full tuition into installments. It is not a month-to-month membership.

Certification is earned through successful completion of the applicable program requirements.

Students must complete required coursework, training hours, assessments, practicum, documentation, conduct requirements and financial obligations before certification is issued.

No.

Teacher training is education, not a flexibility competition.

You will study yoga practice, anatomy, teaching, adaptation, philosophy, ethics and how to work responsibly with different bodies and needs.

The goal is not to prove that your body can perform every posture.

The goal is to develop the knowledge and teaching skills necessary for your level of training.
