Certification & Yoga Alliance Questions

All certifications will be issued by Inner Dimension Academy and will include Travis and Lauren’s signatures.

  • Part 1: 30hrs
    • You will receive a certificate based on completing 100% of the practices, lectures, and homework. Completion will be 100% based on the honor system.
  • Part 2: 170hrs
    • If you complete both Parts 1 and 2 you will receive a 200hr certificate issued by Inner Dimension Academy.
    • Part 2 participants will be required to film a class in English that will be reviewed by a senior Holistic Yoga Flow teacher, with additional support from Travis and Lauren. In the rare instance that one of our senior teachers fluently speaks your preferred language, we can consider that option.
    • You will be required to have at least one student in your class.
  • Holistic Yoga Flow Teacher Training (300hrs-made up of 7 modules)

If you complete any of the 7 modules, you will receive a certificate issued by Inner Dimension Academy for that module.  If you do all of them, you will receive a 300hrs training certificate. This is not Yoga Alliance Certified, however, Travis and Lauren are both recognized and respected in the global yoga community and many of their students have gone on to become working yoga instructors.

Travis and Lauren and Holistic Yoga Flow are in excellent standing with Yoga Alliance and their in-person trainings are highly rated. Their online trainings through IDA cover the same material and curriculum. The main reason IDA has chosen not to do online trainings through Yoga Alliance is that due to the pandemic, Yoga Alliance has changed its requirements several times. Because of this, IDA has chosen not to affiliate the online trainings with the organization since IDA’s training is all pre-recorded and self-paced for the student. Also, many yoga teachers have also elected to offer trainings outside of Yoga Alliance especially because they were offering trainings way before there ever was a Yoga Alliance.

For both 200hrs + 300hrs trainings, you may also submit a certificate to Yoga Alliance for Continuing Education credits in the form of non-contact hours. However, Yoga Alliance may have a max number of non-contact hours that they will accept. If you prefer a training program that is eligible for Yoga Alliance Certification, please explore our Hybrid 200-hour HYF YTT  (more info under Inner Dimension Academy: Hybrid Teacher Training in the FAQs).

Certifications are given to participants upon completion of the outlined requirements, and we expect all participants to retain the highest levels of integrity and honesty.

Will a certificate from Inner Dimension Academy be recognized in my home country / at my studio/place of employment?

  • When you complete our Holistic Yoga Flow Online Teacher Training 200hrs and/or 300hrs, you will be qualified to teach yoga.
  • Whether your country/yoga studio/place of employment will accept the certificate will depend on the yoga studio/employer. Studios are more likely to be interested in how you teach a class and may require a test run. However, Travis and Lauren are both recognized and respected in the global yoga community.
  • We also provide the training as-is, and cannot warrant or guarantee any sort of employment opportunities or future events.
  •  If you are someone who strongly would prefer in-person training, please explore our Hybrid 200-hour HYF YTT  (more info under Inner Dimension Academy: Hybrid Teacher Training in the FAQs).
