Can I teach after completing 200 hours? Yes. The 200-hour credential qualifies you to teach foundational classes. Some placements or registries may require additional continuing education (CE) for higher certifications.

Do I have to become a teacher after completion? No. Many students train for personal growth, mindfulness, or deeper practice, in addition to or instead of teaching.

What is the cost and what does it include? Pricing varies (roughly $4,300–$4,690+). Inclusions often cover instruction, manuals, practice teaching, and a certificate. Snacks and tea is provided at each module.
