Tuition and Program Requirements

For those who wish to obtain the registered prenatal yoga teacher (RPYT) certification with Yoga Alliance, both the self-paced online course and the in-person (or Zoom) training must be completed. The tuition for the in-person (or Zoom) training is $495, and the tuition for the online course fee ($97).

Completing both the self-paced online course and in-person (or Zoom) training allows current yoga teachers to upgrade their yoga alliance certification to include RPYT certification.  The total cost for the program includes two payments: 1) $97 for the online self-paced course and materials, 2) $495 for the in-person (via Zoom) training.

For those who do not wish to complete their RPYT certification, they can still attend the in-person training for continuing education credit, or simply for personal development.
