About this template
A **yoga teacher-training intake** is the first conversation between an applicant and a teacher-training school — it captures the applicant's **yoga history**, **goals and intentions**, **health and injury picture**, **prior teaching experience**, **schedule and attendance fit**, and references, and is the basis for the school's **interview and acceptance decision**. The form does not enroll the applicant and does not collect tuition — those are handled by a separate **enrollment agreement** that covers payment, refund policy, attendance, make-up, and certification requirements, and a separate **liability waiver** that covers the physical practice. Several sections matter. **Yoga history** orients faculty — years of practice, lineages, influential teachers, current weekly volume — and helps the school place the applicant in the right cohort (a 200-hour foundation, a 300-hour advanced, or a specialty like Yin / Restorative / Prenatal). **Goals and intentions** is the most useful narrative field — it surfaces whether the applicant wants to teach professionally, deepen personal practice, or train as part of a career transition; all are legitimate, but the school can tailor mentorship if it knows. **Health and pregnancy disclosure** is informational rather than a release — flagging a shoulder impingement, a recent surgery, or pregnancy lets the program assign appropriate modifications and timing. **Schedule fit** is where most cohort dropout originates; honest disclosure of work travel or family obligations lets the school propose make-up options before enrollment instead of mid-program. The **community-norms acknowledgment** — opt-in consent for hands-on assists, confidentiality of cohort sharing, attendance, and a code of conduct consistent with **Yoga Alliance ethical guidelines** — sets the cultural floor. Treat the intake as an invitation to a conversation, not a contract; reply within a week, schedule a short interview, and move acceptances to the enrollment agreement and waiver.
