Course Prerequisites
Completion of a 200-hour yoga teacher training course or equivalent yoga practice and/or teaching experience as determined by the school director.

Certification
Upon completion of this course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion for 200 advanced yoga training hours. This Certificate of Completion partially fulfills the Yoga Alliance national requirements for a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and satisfies all the requirements for advanced hours in yoga techniques, philosophy and anatomy. A 100-hour course, The Art of Teaching, may be taken at Yoga Yoga at a later date to complete the 500-hour Yoga Alliance requirements for advanced hours in Teaching Methodology and Practica in order to become a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500).

Required Reading and Outside Study
Several classical and modern texts are required for the course with weekly reading assignments to be completed before each class period. Please allow 2-4 hours weekly for these readings. A reading list of required and recommended books is available through the teacher training office.

In addition, each student has a daily 31-minute practice of pranayama and meditation for a 40-day period during the course. Your personalized practice is based upon your individual needs and developed for you by the course instructors. You may start this 40-day practice at anytime during the course as long as you complete it before the course ends. This home practice counts for 20 hours of outside study and completes your 200 hours of training.
