Attendance Policy

This course requires a strong time commitment. Becoming a yoga teacher requires consistent practice, an open mind and dedication. Please clear your schedule to allow adequate time to assimilate the entire curriculum.

100% Attendance is required to graduate from Back Bay Yoga Teacher Training. Any absences must be approved prior to the commencement of the training. Arrangements can be made for illness and/or emergencies, but no more than 15 hours of the training can be made up. Final certification is at the discretion of the director.

Additional Requirements

Apart from regular homework assignments, all students are required to take 3 additional classes per week over the course of the training. In an effort to immerse each student in the Back Bay Yoga community, our preference is that those classes be taken at BBY. In the event that this is not possible please contact the director of your training so a suitable replacement can be found for this requirement.

BBY Mentorships and Teacher Trainings are non-refundable. If you must withdrawal from a Teacher Training AND a replacement can be found, a studio credit will be given less your $500 deposit (or 25% of fee for non-200hr trainings). If a replacement cannot be found no refund or credit will be given . For mentorships, Studio credit less $50 administrative fee will be issued. Once the event has commenced, no refunds or credits will be given.
