YOUR QUESTIONS
Quick answers
Which training is right for me?
New to teaching yoga? Start with the 200h Modern Vinyasa Teacher Training. Already teaching yoga? Our weekend trainings and immersives each go deep into one skill, and they all count toward the 300h Modern Vinyasa. Want to teach Pilates? Start with the 50-hour Pilates Mat Foundation; already teaching Pilates or barre, the 10-hour Pilates Advanced Sequencing takes you further. Barre? Start with Barre Foundation. Yin? Begin with any of our 50-hour Yin modules.

How do I sign up?
Click Enrol (or Apply) on the page of the training you'd like to join and book your place online. Weekend trainings are paid in full when you book. For the longer trainings and the 75-hour immersives you pay a non-refundable deposit when you register (€500 for the 200h and the 75-hour immersives, €350 for a Yin module, €250 for Pilates Mat Foundation), and the rest before the training starts, unless we agree an instalment plan with you.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, for any training, on request: up to 6 instalments, with a 5% administration fee. We agree the payment dates with you, and they can run into the training period. Paying in instalments isn't available at checkout, so email academy@yourtribes.nl before you book and we'll arrange it with you.
What if I need to cancel?
You get a 50% refund if you cancel up to 3 months before the start, and 25% up to 1 month before. You can also move to another date for €75. The deposit is non-refundable. You'll find all the details in our terms and conditions.
Do your prices include VAT?
Our Modern Vinyasa trainings (the 200h, and the 300h with its weekend trainings and immersives) are registered with CRKBO, the Dutch register for vocational training, so no VAT is charged on them. Our Pilates, barre and Yin trainings include 21% VAT. Each training page shows which applies.
Are your trainings certified?
Tribes Academy is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS-200 and RYS-300) and a YACEP continuing education provider. After the 200h or 300h you can register with Yoga Alliance as RYT-200, and with both as RYT-500. Our weekend trainings, immersives and Yin modules count as Yoga Alliance continuing education. Our Pilates and barre trainings give you a certificate of completion.
Where do the trainings take place?
In Leiden, at our two studios: The Flo (Floris Versterlaan 61) and The Doeza (Doezastraat 2A), both about a 15-minute walk from Leiden Central Station. Immersives and retreats take place in Domburg (Zeeland), on the island of Tiengemeten (South Holland) and near Bordeaux (France): each training page shows exactly where.
How good does my English need to be?
Our trainee & trainer(s) community is international and multilingual: you’ll hear many accents and cultural backgrounds in the room. You do need a good understanding of English and the ability to communicate in it, but your English doesn’t have to be perfect. You’re always welcome to ask for clarification or repetition during the training.
