Frequently Asked Questions

It's live. Each weekend is a scheduled cohort session with real-time teaching and group discussion. If you miss a session, recordings are available to review, but the format is built around a group moving through the material together.
Some foundational familiarity with pranayama and basic asana is recommended, though this is assessed individually rather than gatekept by a rigid prerequisite.
Yes — delivered under the same ERYT 500/CYT 200 credentialing as our residential programs in Goa.
Upward Spiral is a structured entry point — roughly a quarter of the contact hours of the full residential program, and without the immersive residential environment. Many students use it as preparation before committing to the full 200-hour training.
