Group Leader Trainings are typically open for enrollment twice per year.
We recommend that you check fees charged in your community for yoga classes, as a comparison guide, but we suggest an average $100 for the group gatherings, adjusted according to your unique community.

Please check with your local community business advisors about tax and other issues so that you build your business in a fiscally responsible manner.
