Additional Costs Not Included in the Tuition
Additional fees associated with Home-Study and Internship program include:

Integrative Dynamic Yoga Competency
Depending on one's yoga background, it is Kamie's intention to make every effort to ensure that students integrate the material they are learning into their personal practice and teaching toolbox. This provides a safe environment for Trainees as well as their future yoga students. Northern California Yoga Institute's principle philosophy is competency of the teacher; we will not issue a “Certificate of Completion” until we believe a Trainee is ready to teach publicly. Therefore, if deemed necessary, Trainees may be required to participate in additional programs in order to adequately meet all of the requirements of the Training.
Attend one-to-one private sessions with Kamie, these sessions are provided at a 25% discount to Trainees (regular price is $65/session, discounted price is $48.75/session). The purpose of these one-to-one sessions is to provide Trainees with the additional training they may need to establish a strong practice and ensure that the Trainee is appropriately integrating the material. One-to-one sessions are not a requirement of the Training, however, students must be able to demonstrate their capability to integrate the material into their personal yoga practice.
Participate in workshops, immersions or small group classes in addition to the Training to receive additional contact hours with Kamie. When feasible Trainees are given a 50% discount for attendance to other programs taught by Kamie during the course of the Training and six months post-training.
It should be noted that Kamie will work with Trainees on an individual basis to determine if additional contact hours are necessary. Trainees will have plenty of opportunities to deepen and expand their practice during the Training. Again, requiring additional contact hours would be a program developed between Kamie and the Trainee, ONLY if deemed necessary. With dedication to fulfilling the Training requirements, all participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Practicum Review/Critique
As part of the Internship program, Trainees will be required to either submit a dvd of a yoga class or schedule a time for Kamie to attend a class taught by the Trainee. Generally a Practicum Review/Critique will require approximately 2-3 hours of Kamie's time, which includes review of the dvd or attending a class, critique/write-up, and follow-up discussion. The fee for the Practicum Review/Critique is included in the cost of the Training. Students may need to conduct more than one Practicum Review/Critique, there is a $75 charge for subsequent reviews. Trainees will be given detailed guidance on what aspects of their teaching needs refinement and why. With dedication to fulfilling the Training requirements, all participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Other Costs
Other costs associated with attendance to public yoga classes (not taught by Kamie) at studios, gyms or other venues or the rental or purchase or rental of yoga dvds are not included in the tuition. Students will be required to attend and review other yoga classes or dvds.
Students will be required to provide their own yoga mat. Other props that are useful include a blanket and/or bolster. We will occassionally use straps and blocks, although we have these props available for your use.
CPR Certification, you will be required to submit proof of CPR Certification prior to issuance of your Certificate of Completion. CPR Certification is an additional cost not covered in the Training.
