There are no prerequisites for this course, and you don’t have to be a yoga expert before registering. What Yoga Download ask is that you have at least some level of yoga practice under your belt so you are familiar with basic postures and the flow of a vinyasa class.

Each course features interactive testing and assignments that allow you to work with Yoga Download mentors as you refine your skills.

Upon successful completion of each course you will receive a certificate stating you have demonstrated proficiency in the skills learned in that course.
To be eligible for final certification in The Kaivalya Yoga Method from YogaDownload.com at the 200+ hour level and be entered in Yoga Download online registry of approved teachers, you must complete all 6 courses offered as well as the Final Teaching Culmination course.

The Yoga Alliance is a joke anyway……I don’t care if they aren’t “certified” with them. Just saying. I think the course looks awesome. Thanks for your review.
Thanks for your comment Angelica! I hope you going to like this course. Please me know your opinion when you attend it.
Thanks for this review, I’m really interested in YogaDownload as it would fit my current schedule with work, etc. but if they’re not recognized by the YA then how would someone complete the actual certification portion? Does this mean someone can’t become a certified instructor by taking these courses?
Hi Vanessa, thanks for your question. Please find more information on YogaDownload FAQs link.
They claim that this online program far exceeds the standards of a 200 hour Yoga Alliance training. Completion of this course certifies you by YogaDownload.com and as a Kaivalya Yoga Method Instructor.
As they say on the website “Yoga Alliance is a registration body, similar to that of a trade organization. They do not certify teachers, nor do they test or require anyone to meet any of the standards they set. Because we recognize certification is important to you, we are creating our own YogaDownload / Kaivalya Yoga Method certification program. Completion of this course certifies you by YogaDownload.com and as a Kaivalya Yoga Method Instructor.
Your registration fee is included with the cost of this training, and you will never be charged a yearly renewal fee. We are creating a website to feature your bio, teaching schedule, and contact information so the world can see that you’ve met our rigorous testing standards and demonstrated your ability to lead stellar classes for a wide variety of students. This is our sincere and grateful attempt at highlighting our approved teachers and providing you the chance to shine within our powerful network of teachers and students.
Together, we will show the yoga world the power of online education and the strength of the community that binds us.”
I hope this will help 🙂
