Yoga Immersion Program
Overview
The YAA's 100-Hour Immersion program is geared towards experienced yoga students who wish to deepen their understanding of the practices and philosophies of hatha yoga, but do not have intentions to teach.
Program Schedule and Fees
The YAA TTP consists of 100 Hours of training.
The Core Curriculum Classes are held over 8 weekends in Edmonton, and are also offered online on the Zoom platform. The sequence of classes repeats every year and missed classes can be made up the following year, allowing students to work at their own pace and integrate their learning over time. Students may begin the program at any point during the year. Credit can later be transferred to the Teacher Training Program if the student later decides to pursue a career in teaching.
All classes and workshops are pay-as-you-go so there is no up-front tuition, and costs are spread out over the time it takes to complete the program. There are 16 Core Curriculum Classes (2 per weekend) currently priced at $95 each, for a total of $1,520. At least 4 hours of other YAA Senior Teacher Workshops are also required. Full YAA Membership must remain current throughout the program ($30/year).

- 96 hours of YAA Monthly Core Curriculum Classes (16 x 6 Hour Classes).
