You have to pay for training but you make it back quickly. The interview itself is short and sweet, then they schedule an 'audition' where you teach a ten minute warm-up sequence which they provide, then you have to get 'certified' by buying a plane ticket to Portland and THEN after three days of rigorous training you must teach friends and family classes, then community free classes, THEN and only then do you start getting paid. But hey it's easier than yoga teacher training.
