Depending on the material missed, there may be a charge (determined by what was missed, and on a case-by-case basis).
Certain portions of the philosophy/Tantra training are unique and content-heavy, and can only be made up in a future training.

In general, the training is designed to help students understand how to develop greater strength and flexibility, and how to enhance your practice within the context of your own body.

Upon successful completing of the training, you can apply to teach anywhere you like. Some studios require registration with Yoga Alliance in order to teach at their location. There is not a guarantee to teach at Shakti Studio, if you are interested you can ask the lead trainer.
