Tuition for the five day training is $600.00 (see below for the fees of the Westwoods, MA. training) early registration and $675.00 for registration received 30 days or less prior to the training.

To register a non-refundable deposit of $250 is required with your application. (See PDF Registration form below.) This deposit will be applied to your tuition. Payment in full is due 30 days prior to the first day of training. Add $75.00 for payment made after that date. There is a $25 returned check fee.

If you are not accepted into the program the $250 deposit will be refunded. Refunds are available up to 30 days before training begins minus the $250.00 deposit. After this time no refund or credit will be given if you decide not to attend. Once the training begins, no refund or credit will be given.

Directions to the training will be mailed or emailed upon receiving full payment. For hotel lodging information and for general information please contact the local training coordinator or contact us at 831-425-7731 or info@wholebirth.com.

Certification

Upon completion of the 36 hour training, you will receive a certificate of completion and may begin teaching Whole Birth® Yoga and Support Classes. Although we are not yet set up with Yoga Alliance or other certifying groups, many graduates have been able to apply their WBYTT hours to a 200 or 500 hour certification.
