Fyra Yoga Teacher Trainings FAQ
Application & Payment
What are the prerequisites or requirements to apply?
None! Both the Fyra Yoga and Mat Pilates Teacher Trainings are open to everyone - no prior teaching experience or minimum practice level required. If you love Fyra and feel called to share it, we'd love to hear from you.
For our 100 Hour Mat Pilates training we recommend each trainee to complete a minimum of 10 Fyra Pilates classes before the training begins.
Is there a deadline to apply for the September 2026 200 Hour and the January 2026 Mat Pilates 100 hour teacher training?
Applications are rolling and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Our early bird deadline for the 200 Hour has now closed, and full payment is due by July 1st. Our early bird deadline for our Mat Pilates 100 Hour is June 24th, and full payment is due by September 1st.
What is the tuition, and are there early bird savings?
Early bird pricing for the Mat Pilates Winter 2027 Training is $2,199 if you register by Jun 24th, 2026. Standard tuition for the 200h Fall 2026 Training is $3,499, and $2,699 for the Mat Pilates Winter 2027 Training. 3-installment payment plans are available for the balance payment if needed.
Is the deposit refundable if I need to cancel?
The deposit is non-refundable, but any remaining payments made beyond the deposit are refundable should you need to cancel before July 1st for our 200 Hour or September 1st for our 100 Hour Mat Pilates.
Can I submit the application first and decide on the payment plan afterward?
Yes! You're welcome to submit your application first and sort out the payment details afterward. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we'll be in touch to discuss next steps including payment.
Could you share more details about the payment plan options and scholarship opportunities?
We offer a 3-installment payment plan (for the months of June, July and August for our 200 Hour and August, September, October for our Mat Pilates Training) to help make the training more accessible. As for scholarships, we do have opportunities available - we share those details directly with applicants who express interest in their application, so please just reach out and we'd be happy to walk you through what's available.
What happens to my current active membership during the training?
Your active membership will be frozen during the training and reactivated after it. During training, your YTT membership will allow you to register for the lectures as well as for regular classes at the studio.
Scholarships
Are there scholarship opportunities?
Yes! We are proud to offer three partial scholarships for the September 2026 cohort, each awarding 50% off tuition — bringing the total cost from $3,499 down to $1,500. Scholarship recipients can also use the 3-month installment payment plan.
What scholarships are available?
We offer one scholarship in each of the following categories:
- FYRA BIPOC Scholarship - open to applicants who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color
- FYRA LGBTQ+ Scholarship - open to applicants who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or another LGBTQ+ identity
- FYRA Community Scholarship - open to applicants who are experiencing financial hardship that would otherwise make participation inaccessible
Who is eligible to apply for a scholarship?
Scholarships are open to all applicants to the Winter 2026 Mat Pilates Training. Applicants may apply for one scholarship only. Eligibility is based on self-identification - no documentation is required. Scholarship recipients must meet all standard training enrollment requirements.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
To apply, select your interest in a scholarship at the time of your training application. You will then receive an email with a separate Scholarship Application Form to provide further information.
Applications are reviewed by our internal committee and recipients are selected based on the strength and sincerity of their statements.
When is the scholarship deadline, and when will I hear back?
Scholarship applications must be submitted by June 24th, in line with the early bird training application deadline. All applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision within two weeks of the deadline.
Are scholarships compatible with the payment plan?
Yes - scholarship awards are applied directly to tuition and are fully compatible with the installment payment plan.
Can I transfer my scholarship or apply it to a future cohort?
Scholarships are non-transferable and apply to the Winter 2027 cohort only. Fyra reserves the right to make final scholarship decisions at its discretion.
Location
Will the trainings take place at the Williamsburg studio, the West Village location, or both?
The location for the September training will be at the New York Center for Creativity and Dance (287 East 10th Street) and for the Mat Pilates training it is still being confirmed - we'll have that information locked in shortly and will share it with all applicants as soon as it's decided!
Training Structure
How many total hours is the training?
The Fyra Yoga Teacher Training is 200 hours in total.
The Fyra Mat Pilates is 100 hours in total.
When does the training run?
The Fall 2026 training runs September 17th through November 8th, 2026. Schedule is Thursdays and Fridays from 4–8pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 7am–5pm.
The Winter 2027 Mat Pilates training runs Jan 8th through February 7th. Schedule is Fridays from 4-9PM and Saturdays & Sundays from 9am-5pm.
Is attendance mandatory, and what happens if I miss a session?
Attendance is an important part of the experience. If you do need to miss a session, you can arrange a private make-up for up to 10 hours at an additional cost. Any missed hours beyond that would need to be made up at a future training cohort.
How much practice teaching is included, and is there structured feedback?
Practice teaching is a big part of the program - you can expect around 30 hours of hands-on teaching throughout the training for our 200 Hour. Feedback is built into the process, so you'll receive guidance from instructors as you develop your teaching voice and skills.
What is the typical cohort size?
We keep cohorts intimate - a maximum of 50 trainees - so that everyone gets a quality experience and real attention from the teaching team.
Will there be assessments?
Yes — the training includes both written and practical assessments to help you consolidate your learning and ensure you feel confident stepping into teaching.
What do I receive upon completion?
Graduates of our Fyra Yoga 200 Hour receive a certificate of completion. Our training is also Yoga Alliance certified, so your hours count toward a 200-Hour Yoga Alliance certification.
Graduates of our Fyra Mat Pilates 100 Hour Training receive Fyra Certification.
Are there any additional costs outside of tuition?
Tuition covers everything you need for the training itself. There is a recommended reading list — books are great companions to the program if you’d like to go deeper. You will also need to bring:
- Yoga mat
- Journal and notepad
- A comfortable portable cushion or seat
- Water bottle
- Snacks and lunch/dinner depending on the day
Teaching & Career
Does completing the training mean I can teach Fyra at the studio?
Completing the training makes you eligible to apply to teach at Fyra! Graduates are welcome to audition and we love seeing our trainees go on to join the teaching community.
Is there mentorship or support after graduation?
Yes — we are still developing the post-training mentorship component, but there will be space and support available for graduates. This will most likely be an additional cost for mentorship, and we’ll confirm the details shortly
