Teacher Training Process:
Here's an outline of the teacher training process.
It can be a bit confusing as you're getting started, so feel free to reach out with questions.
(Below you'll see the base fees listed for the required courses. Most studios add a "studio fee"" on top of that to cover expenses of hosting the course.
I have the luxury of not needing to charge a studio fee at GYROTONIC® Ann Arbor,
and so I only charge the base fee.
