FAQ

Do I need to be super experienced, or be able to do certain poses to take the training?

Absolutely not! We recommend about a year’s of practice to embark on the training, and welcome all levels and abilities. What you need most is an open mind, willingness and dedication to learn and deepen your practice throughout the training program.

Will I be able to make up weekends if I have to miss?

Yes, absolutely! You will receive 1 on 1 or small group overview of what we went over that weekend, however, this comes at an additional cost to compensate teacher for their time! You can also take workshops that can work as make up hours during your training through the studio or any other studio approved by The Salty Buddha.

Where are the trainings held?

Our yoga teacher trainings are held at our studio in Peabody, MA. Our monthly Tuesday meetings are held virtually.
