ENROLLMENT AND CANCELLATION INFORMATION
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
​
• Black Cat Yoga teacher training program down payments, deposits, and payments are nonrefundable, and your enrollment can only be used for the date it was purchased for. In the event that a training is canceled by us, participants will receive a full refund. Absence to a training is nonrefundable.
• Your attendance is required to receive a certificate of 200 hours of completion. Please review the dates prior to registering.
• This program is designed for yoga practitioners 21 and older who have been practicing consistently for a year or longer.
• Please refer to our Studio Policies page for information regarding our general studio policies. We thank you in advance for helping us maintain a safe space for us all to grow in as a community.
• Alcohol, drugs, cigarette smoking, intoxicants of any kind, and/or strong odors of any kind of smoke are not permitted. Participants who violate this policy or engage in any behavior which distracts from a peaceful learning environment for the group will be asked to leave and no refund will be given.
• Black Cat Yoga has made the conscious decision to no longer register with Yoga Alliance. We have worked hard to become skillful, compassionate, capable yoga teachers, and stand on our own merit and years of teaching experience to offer high-quality, robust, and effective educational experiences in our school of yoga.
Yoga Alliance does not certify yoga teachers, teacher trainers, or training schools. And neither teachers nor trainers are required to be registered with Yoga Alliance or any other organization. Whether or not a training is of high quality has no relationship to whether the training is registered with Yoga Alliance. The certificate the school issues is the only valid credential. The relationship between a teacher holding a certificate and their students is what validates the effectiveness of the school.
​
Enrolling in a teacher training/immersion program is a significant investment of your energy and finances. Find someone you feel inspired by, someone you have practiced with, and someone you trust to take this life-changing journey with.
