"I enrolled in Yogi Maha Method training from Germany while I was in the middle of a very painful divorce. I felt lost and unsure of what the future held. I didn’t expect the training to change my life the way it did. It gave me direction, strength, and a new sense of purpose. I graduated with the confidence to start teaching yoga, and now I’m building a whole new chapter for myself. If you’re going through a hard time, I hope my story shows that healing is possible and that it’s never too late to begin again"

FAQs
1. What is Yogi Maha Method Online 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training? Yogi Maha Method Online 200-Hour Teacher Training is a Yoga Alliance–approved, fully online, self-paced certification program designed to prepare students to teach vinyasa yoga professionally or deepen their personal practice. 2. Is this 200-hour yoga teacher training fully online? Yes. The training is 100 percent online with no in-person classes, no live Zoom sessions, and no time zone restrictions. 3. Is the online yoga teacher training self-paced? Yes. Students receive lifetime access and can complete the training at their own pace with no required graduation deadline. 4. Can I speak directly with Maha if I have questions during the training? Yes. You may book a free, optional one-on-one video coaching session with Maha through yogimaha.com or email [email protected] to request one at any time during your training. Maha also personally answers all trainee questions inside our exclusive training Community group page - which you will automatically be given free access to when you enroll in the training. 5. How long does it take to complete the online 200-hour YTT? There is no fixed timeline. Your access to the training never expires. Most students complete the training in approximately ten weeks by progressing through one chapter per week. 6. Are there exams, finals, or assessments? No. There are no exams, final tests, or papers to submit. Homework is included for personal integration and self-reflection and does not need to be submitted. Graduation eligibility is system-tracked. Once all chapters are fully completed, students will be emailed their certificate. 7. Can I teach yoga professionally after completing this training? Yes. Our graduates teach at elite yoga studios, lead international yoga retreats, and run independent yoga businesses from all across the world. RYT-200 is the foundational certification that allows graduates to teach yoga professionally. It is the required first step for anyone pursuing a teaching career. 8. Is this training approved by Yoga Alliance? Yes. The program is fully accredited by Yoga Alliance and qualifies graduates for RYT-200 registration. 9. Will I receive a Yoga Alliance certificate? Yes. Upon completion, students receive a Yoga Alliance–accredited RYT-200 certificate delivered by email. 10. Why is a Yoga Alliance accredited certification important? Yoga Alliance is an international accreditation agency that ensures yoga schools and teacher trainings meet established professional standards. Enrolling in a Yoga Alliance accredited school such as Yogi Maha Method, and completing a Yoga Alliance approved online 200 hour training, allows trainees to register as a certified yoga teacher at the RYT-200 level with Yoga Alliance. This is often required by yoga studios, gyms, wellness centers, and insurance providers, and many studios will not hire teachers without a Yoga Alliance approved 200 hour certification. 11. Is it better to take 300 or 500 hours of training first? No. Yogi Maha Method 200-Hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training is a comprehensive program held to the utmost standards, equipping graduates with cutting-edge best practices to teach yoga professionally at the highest level. 300 and 500 trainings are not required to begin teaching yoga professionally. Advanced certifications are taken only after completing a 200 hour training. It is best to gain six months to one year of real teaching experience first to build confidence, skill, and professional readiness for advancement. It is not recommended to take a 300 immediately after a 200 or to complete a 500 all at once. 12. What are YACEP credits? YACEP credits are continuing education hours. They can be earned through shorter, à la carte trainings, such as our Business, Breathwork, and Meditation trainings, and accumulated over time to count toward the RYT-500. 13. What will I learn in this 200-hour yoga teacher training? Students learn vinyasa class sequencing, verbal cueing, alignment for over 100 poses, yoga philosophy, yoga science, and spiritual anatomy, including breathwork, meditation, and the business of yoga training. 14. Is this 200-hour training suitable for beginners? Yes. All experience levels are welcome. You do not need to perform advanced yoga poses to enroll. 15. Can I take this training even if I don’t plan to teach yoga? Yes. Many students enroll to deepen their practice, improve alignment, and experience personal and mind-body transformation. 16. Is the training mostly lectures or physical practice? The training includes a balanced mix of lectures, physical practices, and detailed pose breakdown workshops. 17. Is the training refundable? No. Once enrolled, the training is yours for life and never expires. 18. What textbook is included? The Yogi Maha Method Training Manual by Maha Bodhi, M.A. is included in digital format as the primary curriculum text, or you can purchase a printed copy on Amazon or wherever books are sold. 19. Can I take this training from anywhere in the world? Yes. The training is accessible globally and can be completed from any country or time zone. 20. Do you offer yoga teacher training scholarships?
