A yoga teacher with 17 years of experience and 1,119 graduates explains that his training program requires an 80% final exam score to pass, but allows unlimited retakes. About 99% of students pass on the first try, and he works with anyone who doesn't until they do.
Can you fail yoga teacher training? I've been teaching yoga for 17 years and I've graduated over 1,119 people from yoga teacher training. I'm answering your most asked questions. It depends on the yoga teacher training program that you're taking, but you certainly can fail mine. I require people to pass a final exam with an E— with at least an 80% pass rate. However, I allow people to take the exam as as many times as they need to until they pass. Most people pass on the first time, like 99% of the people, but when people don't, we just work together to get them to pass the exam. The main thing is that in my yoga teacher training, I work really hard to make sure you know everything, so by the time you get to the final exam, it's pretty easy for you to pass. So depending on the training, you could fail or you could not.
