online yoga teacher training

Yoga Alliance – the governing body of Yoga Schools now offers accreditation for online virtual trainings.  Drishti Beats is at the pulse of this accreditation with their high end sophisticated online system ready to go and students are joining with excitement and gratefulness.  The Drishti Beats 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training online platform parallels their live training following all Yoga Alliance standards and guidelines.

Since the drastic Coronavirus outbreak which is keeping us home and isolated the acclaimed governing body of yoga standards, Yoga Alliance, took the gracious and generous step in allowing their registered yoga schools to provide teacher trainings online and virtually.  

Yoga Alliance who has only accredited live teacher trainings in the past is now helping schools stay alive and well. Drishti Beats Yoga Teacher Training was well prepared. Their online study program in conjunction with the required Yoga Alliance virtual “contact hours” is keeping yogi’s seeking to become accredited yoga teachers engaged and able to sign up and work from home.  

Lori and Jeremy Lowell, co founders of Drishti Beats Music, Programming, and Yoga Teacher Training School immediately reached out to their current students and students seeking a Yoga Alliance accreditation training.  “Many students cannot afford the money or time to participate in live trainings and that is why we created our online platform a year ago” says Lori. The program has been extremely successful. Now, with Yoga Alliance accreditation, we have an abundant of students enrolling and finding success and enjoyment being in the program as they now have time to take on the work during COVID-19.  “While the earth rests and people learn patience, and the art of staying home as part of the solution to COVID-19, the opportunity to reflect, learn, grow and become a beautiful, competent, knowledgable yoga instructors is now at students fingertips through our Drishti Beats Yoga Teacher Training platform” says Jeremy.  

“We have one student who had to leave Bali in the middle of her training due to COVID-19, came home without her certificate and found us, has enrolled, started from scratch but is now on her way to completion and accreditation in the safety of her own home and space.  Teaching, serving and helping our students is our goal.  Our schools mission is to ensure that every graduating student is ready to go out to their communities and teach a strong, outstanding yoga class.  No one is left behind with Drishti Beats Yoga Teacher Training”.

“Yoga Alliance has saved our school” reflects Lori.  “Having to cancel our trainings, online/virtual has allowed us to continue to operate.  We are so grateful for Yoga Alliance with their conscious and quick effort to help their accredited schools.  Learn more about the 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Approved Online Yoga Teacher Training or visit the School Profile on Yoga Alliance.
