FAQ:
Yoga teachers with a foundational TT who want to expand beyond leading a class, learn to teach the How, want to take their students from a beginner level to an advanced level practice – step by step. It’s not a beginner’s course. However, in rare cases, you may join without previous teaching experience. Please contact me.
Everyone certifies Level 2. If your practice meets the requirements, you can also certify Level 3 in the same intake. If you do not feel ready at the time, get a 6-month L3 voucher. However, if you choose to certify in L2 only and want to certify L3 at a different time in the future, prices and offering might be slightly different, but it’s also a valid option and absolutely possible.
Week 1 (Ji Training): ~5–6h/day + one light day.
Weeks 2–3 (Ji TT Practical): morning class (90) → ACL Labs (120–180) → teach/take (90) → feedback (45–60). Two light mornings. With self study and food breaks all day will be filled.
Asana · Corrections · Level — Open format workshop. Learn to See → Understand → Correct → Modify → Level block by block. Choose freely what you want to work on and get the most out of it! Only requirement is that all blocks will be finished before exam class. The ACL Labs will also be teaching Asana Clinic, efficient corrections, uplevel or downlevel options.
Usually yes. The program is doctor-led and injury-aware. Note details in your application and we’ll advise.
Ji TT will teach you to teach intermediate to advanced yoga level to beginners, higher intermediate and advanced practicioners. Ji is compatible with all common styles of Vinyasa, Iyengar, Hot Yoga, Rocket, Jivamukti, Dharma and many more.

Ji Academy is independent. Ji TT is a health-informed education track counting toward Ji 500h (Level 4 takes you to 800h). We prioritize real teaching over registry branding. Yoga Alliance is a registry, not an accreditor, and its hour based model is not proof of skill or proficiency. Ji TT sets a higher standard: doctor-led education with evaluation based on performance. You will be assessed on real teaching outcomes (safety, corrections, sequencing), not just attendance.
Ji TT is not a Yoga Alliance registered program, as we believe in higher standards. However, if you already hold a YA registration, you may self-log Ji TT hours as Continuing Education in your YA account.
Regardless of YA, every graduate of Ji TT receives a formal record comparable to a university style transcript, including training hours and counts, assessment results, and final grade.
The curriculum is broad and thorough. You should start as soon as applications open and not later than 3 months before TT starts. Exceptions are possible but not guaranteed.
The bare minimum preparation for the TT Practical course is the 8-week period of practical development of the Ji Level 2 sequence and open sequence blocks. Your body needs to be prepared to be able to teach. All other courses can be taken at a later point in time. Certification will only be granted when all courses have been finished and passed at a minimum of 70% total.
Yes, after certification and by invitation/fit. Level 4 focuses on freestyle & assisting and leads to 800h Ji Certified.
