Ease Yoga Training Application

    Note: If you are applying to the 825-hour yoga therapist training or our trainings for mental health professionals, there is more information we require.  We will contact you after we receive this preliminary application. ​ 
    Hello! I am really interested in learning more about your practice (i.e., how long you have been a yoga student, what styles, etc.) and what draws you to explore yoga more deeply and/or share it with others. 
    An important part of each course is integrating what we are studying into our personal lives and our interactions with each other.  Moving beyond what you already know about yoga, what is it that you would like to know, and how do you sense you might benefit from it?
    All trainings include an exploration of physical postures (asanas), with modifications and variations.  Is now a good time for you to increase your physical movement? Have you been restricted by a health care provider in any way that would impact your ability to participate?  Is there anything else that feels relevant to the training you would like me to know?

Important Information About Training at Ease
​

 Required Texts:
Click here to follow a  link to a list on Amazon of the 8 texts that will serve as resources for the 200-hour yoga teacher training. If you are doing the foundations course, you will only need to purchase 4 of the texts:  Bachman,  Hately, Iyengar, and Schiffmann.

You may, of course, purchase the books from any source you wish. 
Training Days & Attendance:
Expect a very full day when we meet, with short breaks in the morning and afternoon and an hour break for lunch. If your goal is to earn a certificate as a yoga teacher, you must attend or make up each session, without exception. There are two options for this: attending the next time the course is offered or attending a make-up lesson for additional fees.

Discounted Yoga at Ease:
Your registration includes a 20 class credit for the 100-hour foundations courses and a 40 class credit for 200-hour and 825-hour trainings. Additional classes are discounted at $10 per class, or you can maintain an Ease membership if you attend class at the studio more regularly. Your class credits must be used while enrolled in the training, and expire on October 31, 2020, without exception. Yoga therapist trainees receive a 5-class monthly membership as long as they are enrolled in the program. Training credits are not transferrable.

Refund Policy:
If you pay for your training in full and your plans change, I offer full refunds if you let us know at least 60 days before training starts, minus a $50 cancellation fee and all credit card fees incurred when you registered.*  Deposits are not refundable after January 1 of the year your training starts. You must provide a written notice to us via email to receive a refund, and they are issued by check to minimize further credit card transaction fees. Refunds are offered according to this schedule, indicating the number of days before the training begins:

60 Days
45 Days
30 Days
15 Days
90%
75%
50%
25%
Other options to a partial discount include: transferring your registration to another student (subject to lead trainer approval), applying 100% of your fees to yoga membership or class packages, applying 100% of your fees to wellness services, or attending the training the next time it is offered. Because each training is limited to 12 participants, this refund policy will be strictly enforced.

Payment Plans:
Deposits to hold your place in the training are non-refundable after January 1, 2020,  but can be transferred or applied to classes, workshops, or wellness services at Ease. Depending on when you register and the total cost of your course, we will send you a link to set up an automatic payment each month to your credit card.  The balance must  be paid in full by October 31, 2020.

​Refunds of monthly installments made before the training begins follow the same schedule as above. Your deposit may be transferred to another student (subject to lead trainer approval), or 100% may be applied to other classes and wellness services at Ease.

Since our training groups are small, if you receive a scholarship and drop out of the training, you will be responsible for paying the full cost of the scholarship back.  

*This cancellation fee policy is effective only on payments made after January 2, 2020.
