Payment Plan
The heart of our training is based on inquiry and curiosity. We believe each topic should be explored, questioned, understood, then applied.
It is for this reason each class is broken down, pose by pose, so the trainee can understand the WHY behind each move. The anatomy and philosophy lectures are designed to layer information across the weeks providing time for the concepts to become meaningful.
Certified LYT Instructor Johana shares some insights about her experience with the LYT Guided Teacher Training program.
The course begins on March 31, 2024 with a Welcome Call with Lara and the LYT Team at 9:30 am ET.
You can access the materials to begin learning immediately upon enrollment.
Course Format
This course format is unlike any other available because it is completely designed for the LYT methodology. Over 10 weeks, we will cover an immense amount of material. That's why we have a 2 week break in the middle of the course - to allow you to practice deeper or catch up on any material. You will have three weeks after the course's completion to finish any remaining material for certification. You will have ongoing access to the course material upon completion so you can revisit the training anytime.
