House of Om Online Course Policy

At House of Om, we are committed to providing high-quality yoga education while maintaining compliance with Yoga Alliance standards. As Yoga Alliance requirements may change over time, the following policies apply to all online courses.

Glossary of Terms

For the purpose of this policy, the following terms are used:

Online Course
Refers to the online training program delivered through the online learning platform, including online course materials, recorded lessons, live Zoom sessions, online workshops, assignments, and teacher guidance provided through the platform.

Offline Course
Refers to any Yoga Teacher Training program conducted in person at a physical location, including training held in Bali, India, Thailand, or any other future offline training locations.

Study Group
Refers to a guided learning group within the Online Course where students are assigned to a teacher and fellow students.

 

1. Responsibility for Understanding Course Requirements

Students are responsible for reviewing all course information, graduation requirements, schedules, and policies before enrolling.

Refund requests submitted after the 7-day money-back guarantee period due to misunderstandings regarding the course content, schedule, certification requirements, or any published course information will not be approved.

By enrolling, students acknowledge that they have read, understood, and accepted all House of Om policies.

Questions may be directed to the Student Support Team at [email protected] or via Direct Message through the online learning platform.

2. Course Start Deadline

Students must begin their online course within 12 months of the date of purchase.

Students who do not begin the course within this period will be required to pay a $90 Study Group Allocation Fee before joining a study group.

Delaying the start of the course may affect eligibility for Yoga Alliance certification, as certification requirements are determined by Yoga Alliance and may change over time.

3. Study Group Policy

Study Group Allocation

Students who select “Start as soon as possible” during enrollment will be assigned to the next available study group based on their preferred time zone and availability.

House of Om offers multiple study groups across different time zones to accommodate students worldwide.

Students who are not ready to begin should select “Do not want to start yet” during enrollment or notify Student Support before study group allocation.

Study groups are generally allocated within 2–4 weeks, although this may vary depending on teacher availability and the formation of suitable groups.

 

Guided Study Group

The 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training is delivered through guided study groups led by an assigned teacher. Each study group is designed to be completed over approximately 4 months, consisting of:

• Approximately 3 months of live Zoom sessions.
• Up to 1 additional month for homework review, teacher feedback, and final assessments.

Students are expected to complete all mandatory homework assignments, attend the required live Zoom sessions, and submit their final assessments during the study group period.

Students who do not complete these requirements within their assigned study group and wish to continue receiving teacher guidance must join a new study group.

A $90 Study Group Reassignment Fee applies when a student:

• does not complete the required coursework within their assigned study group and wishes to continue with a new study group;
• requests a different teacher;
• requests reassignment to a study group in a different time zone after allocation; or
• requests a change to their Zoom schedule after the first live Zoom session.

Requests made before the first live Zoom session will be accommodated free of charge, subject to availability.

Students who need to pause their studies due to medical reasons may rejoin a future study group without paying the reassignment fee. A valid medical certificate is required.

 

300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

The 300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training operates with an ongoing live study group rather than fixed cohorts.

Unlike the 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training, students are not assigned to a fixed study group or teacher, and the Study Group Reassignment Policy does not apply.

Students may attend live Zoom sessions according to their availability. To be eligible for graduation, students must complete a minimum of 45 hours of live Zoom training, including the required teaching practice hours outlined in the course curriculum.

Once a student confirms they are ready to begin and is activated in the live study group, they have 12 months to complete all graduation requirements and qualify for certification.

Students who are unable to complete all graduation requirements within this period may purchase a 6-month Course Completion Extension for an additional $90.

Students are responsible for attending the required live training hours and successfully completing all graduation requirements within the applicable course completion deadline.

Graduation Requirements

200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

To successfully complete the course and receive a Yoga Alliance-accredited 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, students must:

• Complete 100% of all course modules, including Module 0.

Final Examination Extension

If they do not pass the second attempt, they will be required to restart the course from the beginning and re-enroll by paying the full study group fee. 

This policy is in place to maintain the high standards of our teacher training program and to ensure that every graduate is fully prepared, confident, and qualified to teach safely and responsibly. Our goal is not simply to certify students, but to support each individual in becoming a knowledgeable and competent yoga teacher. 

 

300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

The 300-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training follows a different learning structure and assessment process.

To successfully complete the course and receive a Yoga Alliance-accredited 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, students must:

• Complete all required course modules.
• Attend a minimum of 45 hours of live Zoom training.
• Successfully complete all required teaching practice, including a minimum of 7 hours of live teaching practice.
• Successfully pass all required written, practical, and teaching assessments in accordance with the course curriculum.
• Record and submit the Final Integration Video.
• Submit the Course Completion Form and Course Feedback Form.

Specific assignments, assessments, and graduation activities are outlined throughout the course curriculum and must be completed before certification can be issued.

Upon successful completion of all graduation requirements, students will receive a Yoga Alliance-accredited certificate for their respective program.

 

5. Payment and Refund Policy

House of Om offers a 7-day full money-back guarantee for online courses that have been paid in full.

The following conditions apply:

• Refund requests must be submitted within 7 × 24 hours from the exact date and time of purchase.
• Refunds will be processed after deducting any applicable payment processing, transaction, or currency exchange fees.

Previous purchases are not eligible for price adjustments or partial refunds due to subsequent promotions.

6. Course Transfer Policy

Offline to Online Transfer

Students transferring from an offline course to an online course become subject to all online course policies.

Returning to an Offline Course

Students who previously transferred from an offline course to an online course may return to an offline course. This option is available one time only.

The following conditions apply:

• A $90 transfer fee applies to cover administrative and teacher allocation costs.
• Any difference in course fees must be paid when booking the offline course.
• If the student does not complete the offline course after returning, they will not be eligible for another transfer. Any future enrollment, whether in an online or offline course, will require the purchase of a new course at the applicable full course fee and the student must restart the program from the beginning.

Online to Offline Transfer

Students transferring from an online course to an offline course after joining a study group must:

• Pay any remaining balance of the offline course tuition.
• Pay a $90 transfer fee to cover study group administration and teacher allocation costs.

 

7. Changes to Certification Requirements

House of Om will make every reasonable effort to maintain Yoga Alliance accreditation and provide students with the support necessary to complete their training.

However, Yoga Alliance certification requirements are determined independently by Yoga Alliance and may change over time. House of Om cannot guarantee certification under future standards where external requirements have changed after a student’s enrollment or delay in commencing studies.
