How Does It All Work?

Our training is designed to be 100% self-study, with a minimum number of live Zoom sessions required by Yoga Alliance for international certification. You must attend at least half of the live Zoom calls, and watching all call recordings of any missed sessions (if you couldn’t attend live) is mandatory for graduation. This includes 6 calls with your study group and 9 live workshops.

At House of Om, we have created different ways to help you in your study journey:

1. Quizzes which will help you review your study progress for each module.

2. Mandatory Homework assignments to check your performance. Submissions will be reviewed and feedback will be given, so you can improve your skills further. Check Module 0 Homework Submissions for more information.

3. Study groups. You will be with students in a similar time zone. This group of students will be the ones with whom you can communicate and support each other.

4. Group Zoom calls with your assigned teacher and study group.

5. Online workshop to discover more about yoga with different teachers every two weeks.

6. Opportunity to invest in private classes with your chosen teacher.

Joining a group

You will receive a notification and email invitation to ‘Join a Group’, in order for you to communicate with your teacher and fellow students.

You will be assigned to a study group and will be allocated to a teacher based on your time zone.

Once you have been allocated to a study group, the total study group duration is four (4) months. This includes three months of Zoom calls, followed by one additional month for the teacher to review your homework and complete the certification process. The final deadline is one month after the last Zoom call.
If you have submitted all mandatory homework assignments, you have the flexibility to submit your 1-hour final exam video to your teacher and your final essay to Student Support at any time within one (1) year from the date your class begins.

After this, the study group will be dismissed. If students have almost completed their course and only need to submit the final exam, they are still able to do so through their respective teachers.

But if students haven’t been able to participate in the calls and submit the homework/or still have a long way to go to finish the course, we would need to suggest they re-assign to a new study group in order to comply with Yoga Alliance’s rules regarding contact hours.

Assigning students to a new study group will require students to pay an additional US $90.

Once you have been assigned to a group, please introduce yourself to your teacher and your fellow students.

We would like the students to commit to their study group and follow along with the group’s process. Once you have been assigned to a study group, if, for whatever reason, you are not ready to start, please contact student support.

Once the study group has started with the Zoom meetings, you can only change your study group with an additional fee of US $90.

Setting the first call

Your assigned teacher will contact you to schedule your first Zoom call. In addition to this initial call, you will have five (5) live Zoom calls, scheduled after completing Modules 5, 10, 13, 17, and 19.

During these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback on your homework assignments, including the photos and videos of your teaching practice that you upload.

• The Zoom calls take place every two weeks, with each session lasting 2 hours.

• All Zoom calls are recorded and can be available for replayed if you’re unable to attend a live session.

Workshops

Throughout the course, House of Om teachers will conduct bi-weekly workshops covering a range of topics, such as the Chakra system, Ayurveda, Mantras, Yoga Philosophy, and more, providing diverse opportunities to enrich your learning experience.

To be eligible for the final exam, each student must complete a total of 18 hours (equivalent to 9 workshops of 2 hours each).

Workshops are offered in various time zones, and recordings will be available if you cannot attend live.

Final exam

The final exam is divided into two main parts: Practical and Written.

1. Practical Exam

For the practical exam, you will record yourself teaching a 60-minute yoga class.
Your teacher will provide the class plan, which follows a standard structure:

• Introduction
• Centering (if relevant)
• Pranayama and Sun Salutations
• Asana sequence
• Shavasana
• Closing the class

Practical Exam Deadline:
The deadline to submit your final exam video is one (1) year from the date your class begins.
If you miss this deadline and wish to extend your time to submit the practical exam video, an extension fee of $45 will apply. Upon payment, you will be granted an additional six (6) months, counted from the date the payment is received.

2. Written Exam

The written exam takes place after you have completed the practical exam.

In Module 20, you will find a lesson titled “Final Written Exam.” This exam is structured as a quiz with approximately 200 questions, and you will have 2 hours to complete it.
To successfully pass the exam, you must achieve a minimum score of 50%.

3. Final Essay

As the final step, you will write an essay, choosing one of the suggested topics.

Your essay will be reviewed and, if it meets the requirements, may be published on our blog with full credit given to you.
