Applying to LYP for Teacher Training

To get started in the Living Yoga Program, you simply need to download, complete, and submit two forms:

• Living Yoga Program Application
• Living Yoga Program Registration

Keep reading below for information about applying and registering to the program.
Send your completed forms to us, along with your $150 application fee. Please note that the application fee is a separate, stand-alone fee and does not apply toward tuition or accommodations.

Before you submit your forms, you will want to choose which Track option, Yoga Alliance (YA) or Yoga Register (YR) best suits your needs. Please go to our Program Overview page to find out more. If you are not ready to choose, we recommend that you start off in the YA Track. You can always switch over to the YR track later without losing any credit for work completed.

Once you are ready to enroll, please:

Down load the appropriate LYP Application Form as either a pdf file or a MS Word file.

Down load the appropriate Registration Form as either a pdf file or a MS Word file.

Fees can be made in one payment or paid out over several months with no finance charge. All accommodation and tuition fees must be paid in full 31 days before you attend the training module. If you are having difficulties, please call us as soon as you can to discuss your situation. Your $150 application fee to LYP will hold your place in the first module you take. If applying for modules separately, a separate $150 deposit will be needed to hold your place in each. We accept checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover (please note that we do not accept American Express).

Submitting your forms by Email will help you get enrolled into the program more promptly, but you can either email or snail mail your forms to:

By Mail: Living Yoga Program, 8206 Stillwood Lane, Austin, Texas, 78757-7635
By E-mail: Ellen B. Smith, ebsmith@austin.rr.com

Once we receive your Application and Registration, we will review them and contact you by Email to let you know when you have been accepted. We will then send you the link to a proprietary website that contains:

• Detailed information about the 9-day residential intensive
• Book list recommending books for your yoga library (note that these books are optional, not required)
• Self-study packets
• Information about how to complete the class logs for yoga classes you are currently taking (if you are taking YR Track)
• Online anatomy course (YR Track)
• Graduation Notebook information (YR Track)

Also, we will pair you with one of the program instructors who will be your advisor throughout the program. Your advisor is available to answer any questions you have, make recommendations for yoga classes and explain how the program works. You can start working with your advisor immediately.
