BYB - Balance Your Body

How long is the course?

Unlike "crash courses" which can sometimes be overwhelming and leave the student unprepared, most of our trainings are spread out over a six month to one year period, allowing students to absorb and apply what they've learned, and allow them to deepen the understanding of their own practice.

How often is the training?

For your one-year course, the training most months is approximately one Saturday session per month and one Friday evening session per month. You will also attend at least on hour of group classes each week and the schedule of these classes varies depending on the instructor. If you prefer the six-month course, your training will be two or more Saturday sessions and two or more Friday sessions per month. Additionally in the six month program you will need to attend approximately 2 hours of group classes each week.

Have I missed the chance to start your training because I missed the first day of the program?

You may start your program at any time. Each module is complete and comprehensive without having taken other modules.

I am worried I may miss a day of the program. Will this be a problem?

This is not a problem at BYB Yoga. Just let us know the day you will miss and we will reschedule you for that module the next time it is offered.

How often do you offer each module?

My life is too busy to commit to a six month program can I take longer to complete my certification?

We can adapt any program into a year or longer schedule in order to let you meet the needs of your busy life. That can mean just one or two Fridays and Saturdays a month.

Do you take breaks during the class?

You bet we do! During the eight hour module we take a longer break for lunch and several short breaks as well. During the three hour modules we take at least one break.

I suffer from back pain. Will I be able to take the training?

Some of our students have begun the training with injuries or chronic conditions that can make them uncomfortable. We offer cushions, chairs and other props to help you stay comforatable.
Just like in the yoga we offer, we work to adapt the training modules to the comfort of our students.

How much yoga experience do I have to have before I can begin Teacher's Training?

We have found that yoga experience is not as important as a desire to become a good instructor. Our training courses offer details of proper alignment and each student learns to practice safe and effective yoga. Our programs also require the student to attend a minimum of group yoga classes which will give further experience to each participant.
For those with very little experience we recommend taking a year or longer to complete the training in order to better absorb the information and increase the opportunity of experience in group classes.

Where is the location of the training classes?

We meet at City Dance Studio 5411 Morningside Houston, Tx 77007 in Rice Village.
